Hello Wholefood Kitchen Lovers, my name is Zoë and I have a story to tell you. Three years ago I started to explore the area of macrobiotics as I had been having far too much fun on the London party scene. My body had been asking me for a while to take better care of it and so when a friend of mine recommended I take a course called Basic Alchemy I decided that this was life offering me an opportunity to connect more fully to that thing called my body.
I had been learning about macrobiotics on a more practical level, having participated in some cooking intensives and thought I had a pretty good idea of the energy of food, how to balance a plate out with grains/greens/proteins etc, that was, until I sat down on the Friday morning of Basic Alchemy and met the course leader Michael Rossoff.
I had a couple of specific health issues: My liver and kidneys had taken a bit of a bashing over the years but mainly I wanted to be a healthier human being, and as a side thought I wanted to see if I could start to harness the mass amount of energy that I have into a more focused direction instead of frittering it away. After spending 3 days with Michael I was more than equipped to start a life time’s journey into taking real care of these issues.
I wanted to share part of my story with you as Michael only comes to London once a year. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to spend three days in this workshop.
Michael is booked to teach Basic Alchemy at the Concord Institute on May 20-22. Here’s what he has to say about the course:
“This 3-day intensive will give you a solid foundation in the art and practice of self healing. You will gain insights into the connections between your body, mind, emotional and spiritual consciousness. You will learn how to use the simple tool of yin-yang thinking for understanding health and sickness; you will gain practical information on foods and other approaches to healing. I will guide you in understanding many issues from the perspective of both oriental medicine and contemporary western thought about food and health. There are many ways to discover and explore a new way of seeing. I will also teach powerful acupressure points, basic shiatsu massage techniques and simple qi gong exercises. You will receive useful handouts and there will be ample time for discussions.”
