Title:
Human Food Processor - Your Digestive System!
Sentence: Is your food processor working up to par?
Paragraph: It has already been proven, stated and restated that most of our major illnesses, such as cancer, heart problems, even arthritis, are caused by the foods we eat. Let's take that one step farther; because of the foods we eat, which are filled with antibiotics, hormones and chemicals, our digestive system is forced to
process foreign material. This material has nothing
in common with nutrition, in fact, it is toxic to our bodies. When the
digestive system is overloaded it does not perform properly, causing poor
breakdown of the foods to vitamins, minerals, etc., poor absorption, and
further down the line - poor elimination. Join our workshop and learn first
hand, how the digestive system works, what it does and why, and how it
affects the rest of the body.

Conversations & Stories in Sound
Wether you think you can or can't play music this workshop will allow you to explore the deeper structure of your experience with yourself and others in the world.
In this workshop we will create small 'sound pieces'. Taking as a starting point the exploration of what you would like to have happen, or explore, we will work in small and large groups. The structure we will use is the SCORE: S the present situation, O the outcome, E the effects of that outcome, and C the cause. Slowly moving from one step to another we will discover the rescources that are there. This is based on an NLP process and will be facilitated using 'Clean Langauge questions' developed by David Grove and the rescources of wonderful percussion instruments. Deep and profound learnings come from this work and 'tough' world issues explored by the larger group are quite magical and healing. Fun, enjoyment and wise learning will be the results of this workshop.
Co-ordinator, development worker for West London Disability Arts. Co-ordinator for Client Consultation Group (Ealing Health Authority & Social Services - London). Music Workshop Leader (open community group, closed sessions in schools with disabled children, sessions with adults including disabled people - collaboration with choreographer).

Merita Gunter of the Roy Hart Theatre describes the voice as "the first of the instruments given to mankind--the mirror of the soul."

NEW HOPE in the TREATMENT of DEPRESSION
Depression is one of the most common afflictions in this country as well as the world. Yet, it is well known that antidepressants only help a percentage of people who suffer from this often debilitating condition.
The recent popularity of St. John’s Wort as a natural alternative to treat depression suggests that people are ready to embrace other solutions that work.
In addition, antidepressants often have side effects that may be intolerable and preclude ongoing use. Side effects make antidepressant therapy most tenable as a short term, rather than long term treatment, although there are notable exceptions.
Also, medications like antidepressants are broken down by the liver, warranting attention to periodic liver detoxification strategies from time to time. Effects of medications on the liver really came to light after the Tylenol scare, when it became widespread knowledge that Tylenol was potentially toxic to the liver.
Any thorough evaluation of depression must include attention to nutritional status and health related concurrent symptoms. Indeed, many patients who seek help for depression have significant metabolic abnormalities detected in blood tests or trace mineral analysis.
Probably the most common, but least recognized cause of depression and mood disorders is exposure to toxins, from the air, food and environment. It is well recognized that our air, water and food has become progressively more toxic. Consequently, individuals with varying susceptibility to these toxins may experience symptoms of fatigue and depression and mental cloudiness.

Founder and Executive Director of Friends' Health Connection
WORKSHOP/LECTURE - 60 Minutes
title: Letter writing as a healing method
sentence: This lecture will discuss how communication and mutual support through writing can aid in the healing process
I am the founder and executive director
of Friends' Health Connection, a
non-profit organization that connects
individuals who have the same health
problems on a customized, one-to-one
basis for mutual support. Once connected, people communicate via phone,
e-mail, letter writing and sometimes mail art.
I started the organization 13 years
ago from my dorm room during my freshman year of college. I had been diagnosed
with lupus and since then I've also had a kidney transplant. My oldest
sister was the donor.
My organization has received more than two dozen honors from prominent individuals and organizations including President Bush, Senator Bradley, Governor Whitman and the Center for Home Health Development for improving the lives of home health care patients. Due to its impact on patients' lives, it has been publicized in an abundance of media including CNN, NBC, Time magazine, USA Today, the New York Times, Oprah, etc.
I am interested in presenting about
the therapeutic value of mutual support gained through communication and
especially letter writing.

C. Tony Brooks. VIRTUAL INTERACTIVE SPACE (V.I.S.) an experiential intensive
Tony will be presenting the VIS briefly on Saturday
and then in more depth on Sunday morning as a "Post-Conference Intensive"
The presentation will be aimed towards demonstrating
the creative use of my technology within the attendees chosen discipline
through movement in the V.I.S. and the role of the therapist, helper and
teacher as an interactive partner in the creative process towards offering
an improvement in life quality through this means.
Soundscapes applies technology as an exciting
futuristic expressive channel for new forms of communication with handicapped
and others having the opportunity for an improvement of life quality. Workshops
are held which invite participants to move within "Virtual Interactive
Spaces" (or V.I.S.) which Tony terms his operating area. The feedback which
is relative to the movement can be mapped to sounds, images or other multimedia.
