This is an invitation which goes out to one and all. Basic Alchemy is a wonderful overview of Eastern medicine, explored by a Westerner (Macrobiotic Healer, Counselor & Teacher Michael Rossoff) who manages to bring the two worlds together, within an incredible grounding of traditional Macrobiotics. That’s the philosophy, not the ‘diet’ that exists, an interpretation that veers towards a weird sort of health and healing fanaticism. I recommend the course fully. You’ll be introduced to ideas both new and yet vaguely unfamiliar. If you’re prepared to go in leaving your preconceptions at the door, you are likely to leave inspired and empowered in your relationship to health. The course takes place on May 25, 26 & 27. Here’s what Michael has to say:
‘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.’
