Detoxification for a New You
2016-01-19 18:30 - 19:30 (America/Chicago)
Feeling sluggish or out of sync? Struggling with skin problems, aches and pains, or digestive problems? Can't seem to lose weight? It might be time for a body detox.
Practiced for centuries by cultures around the world — including ayurvedic and Chinese medicine systems — detoxification is about resting, cleaning and nourishing the body from the inside out. Today, with more toxins in the environment than ever, it is vital that we cleanse and care for our body's wellness.
This class introduces you to the ways the body detoxifies itself naturally and teaches us ways to enhance its efforts to be clean. Learn basic diets and methods from all over the world used as general detoxification methods. Herbs that have been used to stimulate the liver and clean the blood will also be discussed as well as their recommended doses. Contraindications or potential medication reactions will be covered to ensure safety and efficacy of these common traditional methods.

When: 6:30-7:30pm on Tuesday, January 19th

MLK day is a service day where community residents strive to make a difference in their community. This federal holiday falls on Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday and challenges Americans to honor him through citizen action volunteer service.
If you'd like to be a part of this community service day in honor of MLK, we will be meeting at Tri Cycle Farms for a garden and neighborhood impact day. Various projects will take place including leaf and stick raking, trench and root digging, and rock and mulch transportation. A group of volunteers will serve by creating a "Stone Soup" for all of the service volunteers who contributed to this fruitful day. This delicious meal will be led by the wonderful chef at Mike's Mindful Plate and will be shared at 3:30pm at Trinity United Methodist Church Fayetteville AR, across the street.
We are excited to continue this tradition with our friends and neighbors to progress our garden development and make an impact in this community. None of this would be possible without passionate volunteers such as yourselves!
Please remember to park across the street at Trinity United Methodist Church and use the cross walk to walk over and meet by the big red barn.
Activities will be weather permitting so dress for weather and laborious activities. Water bottles are always recommended.
