Learn how to feel better
than you ever thought possible

You are invited to an inspiring two day retreat where you'll discover how to be vibrantly healthy and how to have the BEST odds of avoiding serious illness. This enlightening and empowering weekend will be an experience you'll cherish for your entire life.

The retreat will be held on the grounds of the
Michigan Friends Center
in Chelsea (20 miles west of Ann Arbor).

 

There are many illnesses today that are thought of as simply the natural consequence of aging, but nothing can be further from the truth. During this weekend you will discover how to allow your body to heal that which ails you, and how to keep yourself truly healthy throughout your life. We say truly healthy to distinguish it from health care that utilizes drugs, therapies, surgeries, and treatments -- which is more appropriately referred to as an ill-health care system. While this "management" approach certainly has its place in emergency medicine, it is not necessarily the best way to deal with or prevent chronic, degenerative diseases like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis, stroke, Alzheimer's, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, restless leg syndrome, depression, and many of the yet to be named conditions that are supposedly best dealt with by taking medication.

Your Instructors

Don Bennett, DAS WEBSITE

At a young age, Don discovered inconsistencies within the health field, such as doctors who smoked, and nutritionists who ate foods that were known to be harmful. Being a seeker of truth, he set out to learn the realities of health for himself. Discovering that traditional curriculums were filled with biases, hidden agendas, misinformation and missing information, Don became self-taught, avoiding the hurdles set up by academic tradition. He took a commonsense approach to such subjects as physiology, anatomy, and biology, and learned the value of looking passed the "conventional wisdoms". This approach, in conjunction with studying the teachings of the pioneers of healthful living and their modern day equivalents, and putting into practice what he had learned, allowed him to discover the realities of health. Thirty years later, as a Disease Avoidance Specialist, Don now shares this wealth of enlightening and empowering knowledge with others for their consideration and benefit.

Ellen Livingston WEBSITE

Being a Truth seeker all of her life, Ellen has amassed more than twenty years of independent research on the topics of health and nutrition. The knowledge gained from numerous workshops and training events in the complementary fields of raw food nutrition, yoga, physical fitness, and sustainable living practices, in addition to her own personal experience adhering to a raw vegan diet since 2002, has empowered Ellen as she pursues her passion for true health creation. Her love of sharing her discoveries with others has found an outlet in the formal trainings and classes Ellen offers. Having a Master's degree in counseling, and Registered Yoga Teacher certification, along with Raw Nutritional Science training has enabled Ellen to develop a thorough understanding of what is needed to obtain optimal health, and to impart this valuable information to others in a sincere and down-to-earth manner.
