Introduction to Energy Cuisine & Special Presentation by Gabriel Cousens
Small Daily Changes - Massive Global Impacts
5:00 - 10:00pm
This is an incredible opportunity to hear Dr. Gabriel Cousens speak on vital global issues that live deep within his heart. He has dedicated his life to researching every avenue of the human condition, and will offer a unique blend of science and spirit for education on how you can be a part of a global solution. This talk will present a global understanding of the symptoms of the Culture of Death, known as global warming and the pandemic of diabetes. The fact that scientifically we have the answers to stop global warming and Type 2 diabetes, but are generally choosing not to follow them, has to do with the difficulty humanity faces in moving into a new frame of reference of how to live in harmony and love with ourselves and the planet.
A comprehensive introduction to Energy Cuisine will begin the evening.
