This vibrant history describes our commitments to mind-body healing as rooted in a patchwork of stories that have allowed people to make new sense of their suffering, express discontent with existing care, and rationalize new treatments and lifestyles.
The New York Times - Jerome Groopman

In The Cure Within, her splendid history of mind-body medicine, Anne Harrington tries to explain why we draw connections between emotions and illness, and helps trace how today's myriad alternative and complementary treatments came to be. A professor and chairman of the history of science department at Harvard, Harrington has produced a book that desperately needed to be written…In fluid prose and with the precision of a detective story, Harrington offers a taxonomy of the main narratives that we draw on to try to make sense of disease, whether they emphasize our ability to heal ourselves or more magical interventions.

The Importance of Native American
Teachings & Medicine:

The Value of Native American Spirituality & Medicine in Western Culture
Including a concert on Native American Flute

Bob "White Bear" Olson

Bob has studied with traditional Native American Elders from many nations over the years to gain knowledge of spirit and the traditional ways of the people. His primary teacher is a Mikmaq, Elder Don Caplin, who is from Listiquj, Quebec, Canada.

Bob has been a flute maker and player for over nine years. The songs that he plays were given to him through heart from spirit and are healing songs for the people. He often will perform at powwows so the audience can relax and enjoy the timeless sounds that spirit gives us through the flute.

A skilled outdoorsman all of his life, Bob lends much to the protection of the knowledge of many old skills that are thought to be lost in today's world. He is experienced in the art of basket weaving, brain tanning, the making of all kinds of leather work and cordage, drums, shakers and flutes. Making these things is only part of the effort. Knowing the legends of the items being made is a part of the work as well. The legends offer lessons about life as one learns the skill. It is a part of Bob's vision to pass on the complete knowledge of these things as they were passed down to him.

Bob and his wife Robin are also powwow traders offering flutes, flute kits, drums, shakers and many Native American trade goods. He also has CDs of his flute playing available.

Better choices for a Healthier Planet

Cheryl Rounds
Organic & Natural Enterprises, I.R.

Lets consider what products we use everyday and what they are doing to our health and the health of the planet. In the last century some large corporations came into their own as they sold us on the need to consume the many products they produce with out fore thought of the long term cultural and environmental implications. Whether it be skin and body care, household cleaners, food or the other items we use on a regular basis. Many of todays product are purchased with without ever questioning what the ingredients are and/or what the health implications may be by using them.

This discussion will cover some of the common chemicals used in body care and household cleaners and how they can affect your health. We will discuss how to read labels to determine if the product is truly nontoxic or if it has simply been “green washed”. Also we will look at the issue of GMO foods and factory farms. Solutions from the very simple home remedies such as baking soda and vinegar for cleaning to what to look for in a truly Green Company will be given. Every little bit ads up - we all can make a difference.
