Natural Burial - the GREEN alternative
- Have you prepared for your future?
- Are you concerned about the impact of your decision?
- Do you have all the information needed to make an informed choice?
Every year the cemetery industry buries over 827,000 gallons of embalming fluid, 104,000 tons of steel, 2,700 tons of copper and bronze, 1.6 million tons of concrete, and 30-plus million board feet of hardwoods. Even cremation pollutes the atmosphere with toxins such as mercury and carbon monoxide. You could drive 4,800 miles on the energy used for a single cremation (or go to the moon and back 83 times on the energy used from all cremations during one year in the United States).

Consciousness
There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.

Nordic SAUNA Vs. Physical & Psychological Well Being
The most important aspect of SAUNA is Endorphines (right word...?),, a morphine-like chemicals. When a body is exposed to a extreme heat or cold, these substances are created in the human body. There are 2 ways to enjoy the "after-feeling" both soul & body: To have a good real Nordic SAUNA, or goto icy lake for swimming. The normal temperature of a SAUNA in Finland is around 80 deg. Celsius, allthough I've been about 120 Celsius in "Smoke-Sauna". (Don't worry, allthough water boils at 100 deg. C :: The air acts as very strong isolator, really. Naturally you can't touch boiling water, in Sauna there is moist air, called "Loely"). One can throw water on the stones of "Kiuas" as much as wants: Normal people cannot get burn wounds, becouse well earlier one can't simply have Sauna anymore. Important thing is, that one get's used to Sauna and hot, moist air (Loely...!) and trains itself for good condition for a good enough "Loely". Simply, what harder "Loely", The stronger and long-lasting is the extremely fine "after-feeling". A very old finnish saying is "Saunoessa sappi sammuu, vihtoessa viha viilenee" that is about as: "Having Sauna Exitement Extinguishes, With "Vasta" (bunch of leafy tree "sticks???" anger cools down". If you don't have a real good Sauna, try take a 10 minutes icy cold shower. In many places I think there's no cold enough tap water, as it' only good around the temp 10 deg. C or below. Hey... Try it youself...: Turn on the shower on the coldest, let it run few secs to cooldown, think: "people in Finland go into icy-l
"The Way of the Healer" with Janet Quinn

"The Way of the Healer" with Janet Quinn
In this seminar, through our conversation and gentle inquiry, we explore the essential principles inherent in walking this earth in the way of the healer. Not only those in the health professions are called to this ancient way, in fact, unfortunately, many are not. Each of us, by intention and choice, can be a source for healing. We can develop in ourselves the capacity to accompany people on the healing journey – and all people are on that journey towards wholeness - regardless of the starting point, the tools used, or the outcome achieved."Born to be Good" with Dacher Keltner
