Susan Greene, M.A. Psychology and certified SoulCollage Facilitator.
Personally trained by Seena Frost (the creator of SoulCollage), Susan facilitates individuals and groups in expressing their undeniable truth & beauty. Currently completing her PhD in Consciousness, Health & Healing, she also guides wellness retreats worldwide to delicious destinations such as Harbin Hot Springs, The Big Island of Hawaii, The Yucatan Peninsula and Rio Caliente, in the Heart of Mexico. Prior to launching her private practice Susan worked in senior level management for conscious, leading-edge companies such as: Patagonia, Smith & Hawken, and PowerBar.

Shakti Shen – “Shakti has been my Tantric Bodyworker for over a decade. She is a National Tantra Teacher, and has developed a unique bodywork over the last 30 years. With over 3000 hrs of training in therapeutic bodywork (deep tissue, shiatzu, energy work, and swedish) she can offer you a bodywork session for deep relaxation or “taking out the knots”. However, you might want to take this unique opportunity to explore a Tantric Massage. The aim of this massage is to feel sensually alive and connected – to become a conduit for luscious, spiritual frequencies. A rare form of “healing” can occur where you feel more awakened in your body then perhaps ever before. Spiritual and psychological insights often occur.” Susan

Joni Sare, Nutrition Educator and Natural Chef, teaches, consults, caters and cooks for groups and individuals. She has studied nutrition and aimed for a healthy lifestyle since 1988. “I'm here to help you improve your health and charm your taste buds.

My intention is to educate, guide and inspire you!” She is the Executive Director of the Health Medicine Forum, an educational foundation in Walnut Creek, producing events at the Lesher Arts Center. (HealthMedicineForum.org). Joni is also a member of – and active with – the American Holistic Medical Association (www.HolisticMedicine.org) and the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (www.nanp.org).

Dialog Dinner events
with Steve Fowkes, nutrition expert
and wholesome nutritious meals by Joni Sare, nutritional chef

• Friday, April 30th, Dialog Dinner

• Wednesday, May 26th, Dialog Dinner

Join us to get answers for your health question(s) and/or

===================

Why Dialog Dinners:
Hosting the Dialog Dinners brings me one step closer to having a restaurant, yet allows me to offer more – a featured guest with a group discussion that enables a growing and learning experience in an intimate setting. This brings the experience of eating out and having dinner with others to a whole new level.

Upcoming topics:
The Dialogs this spring and summer will be diverse, including: nutrition, exercise, consciousness, poetry, music, sustainability, slow food and slow money. Featured guests – who sit at the head of the table and facilitate the conversation – will be authors, community leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes, musicians and more.

Nutrition events:
These nutrition gatherings are for you… if you, a loved one or a client has a health challenge and you have questions, and/or have nutrition info to share with the group. Meaning to say that everyone is welcome, whether you are a patient or practitioner.

The discussions during these events will be open to any nutrition topic that is brought to the table.

The Nutrition Dialogs with Steve are consistently interesting and dynamic; past dialogs have had focus topics, such as:
* Ketosis, Coconut Oil and Mitochondrial Nutrition
* Insulin Resistance, Degenerative Diseases and Ketosis
* Ketosis and pH Balancing: Understanding Body Alkalinity
* Cellular Hydration and Potassium Utilization
* The Nutritional Basis of Happiness and Mood
* The role of fat-burning in well-being and longevity
