Activities and Consultations for the 2012 Cruise
Forum: Women’s Issues
In this forum we will look at the different stages in the development of women from childhood to the end of life. We will explore the challenges of each stage of life and its effects upon mind, body, and spirit. Included in this discussion will be the expectations made upon women by cultural, religious, political, and familial beliefs and demands. There will be time allotted for a Q & A session.
Recovery Panel: Health Survivors Share Their Stories
The Recovery Panel offers us the opportunity to experience firsthand the remarkable stories of those who have used dietary and lifestyle changes to reverse and recover from illnesses that the medical profession has been taught are irreversible and most often fatal. As a medical doctor, our program host Dr. Martha Cottrell has discovered the macrobiotic philosophy of life, health and healing, which led to her own healing. Dr. Cottrell enthusiastically recommends that you take advantage of meeting and listening to these courageous people and their amazing stories! The recovery panel has been a life-changing experience for thousands of listeners.
