FROM GRIEF TO ACTION
Monday, May 19 at 10 pm on Knowledge Network
In this moving documentary, viewers follow the lives of four middle class Vancouver families. The parents are intelligent, loving, resourceful, and they share an unexpected tribulation – their children are addicted to heroin. As they deal with the trauma of trying to keep their addicted children alive and in treatment, the parents join together, founding a group called From Grief to Action. Knowing that the relapse rates for opiate-dependent users is 80 percent, the families live in hope – for their own children, and for others. This award-winning documentary shatters the stereotype that drug addicts come from backgrounds of poverty and that children from loving, comfortable homes are immune.

with Caroline Markolin, Ph.D.
Within the context of an introduction into German New Medicine, this presentation covers the discoveries of medical doctor Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer about the emotional and biological CAUSES of breast cancer. The lecture addresses questions like: What type of emotional distress causes a tumor growth either in the breast glands or in the milk-ducts? What is the biological purpose of the tumor? Why does a tumor develop in the right or in the left breast (or in both)? What are symptoms that the cancer is already HEALING? Why is breast cancer the most common cancer in women? Why are bone cancer and lung cancer the most secondary cancers? Both the therapeutic and preventive aspects of GNM - and of breast cancer in particular – will be explained in great detail.

"On the Fringe of the Fringe" presents: Clarity, Vancouver's Original Punk Harpist.
Clare Morgan is a mild-mannered church secretary by day. Behind Niamh – a locally fashioned Celtic harp, appropriately painted black – she is Clarity, an alternative singer-songwriter. Having stolen her voice back from the Wicked Witch of Mediocrity, she seeks to escape its clutches by soul-stirring – and sometimes foot-stomping – original music. Bring your tallest Mohawk and your blackest leather to this event. Come and hear the Celtic harp like you've never heard it before!

In every system of traditional medicine, digestion is lauded as the cornerstone of health, exemplified by the common-sense axiom “you are what you eat.” Every physical component of our bodies is derived from our daily sustenance, and just as the quality of a building is only as good as the materials that are used to build it, a diet which provides an optimal range of nutrients is the foundation upon which the body recreates itself each day. This class will provide you with a profound yet simple method to promote good digestive health, considering not only nutrition, but other important factors to such as the mind and emotions, the body's ecology and lifestyle habits.
