Why do the participants enjoy them so much?
"The open discussions gave me food for thought and I met other fellow travelers to connect with in the future.
Michelle Fahey
"I enjoyed hearing from others what their concerns are - and having the chance to ask my questions as well. I thought that Donna was excellent in her knowledge and wisdom and ability to engage various personalities with grace."
Patricia Gulino Lansky
"I enjoyed hearing some of the things people are thinking about, and issues they're dealing with, and suggestions for addressing them."
Elaine Danforth
"I appreciate the open discussion most. Because the open discussions are not recorded they are something that I want to attend every time, so as to get to know folks via the discussions and so as to learn more and more about macrobiotics, based on folks' current concerns and current thinking."
Barbara Stemke
"I enjoyed meeting new people and hearing about the early days of macrobiotics. It would be fun to hear more about the heyday of macro before all our elders die off."
Rebecca West
"I enjoyed hearing about particular remedies that people use. I was reminded to
use the ginger compress. Although doing the body rub was not spoken about, I
was reminded to get back into that routine just by hearing about other
practices. It is all connected 🙂 "
Stacy
"I appreciated having the opportunity for us all to come together and share our experiences and insight. Lots of beautiful minds. Everyone was great. I also appreciated that we all were coming together to help one another."
Danielle Guglielmino
"It is interesting to hear others point of view and to learn other ways to heal your body that didn’t occur to you before."
Alice
"There is always so much wisdom that comes forth from the collective experience of a committed group. I received positive direction from the discussion that I am acting on to make a new change in my life. I’m grateful for this group."
