Lectures and Biographies
The Five Transformations; Anna Mackenzie
The practicality and beauty of this system; to see ourselves more clearly. The Five Transformations – a fascinating and interactive look at how we can care for ourselves (and the environment) better, with the beauty and day to day practicality of working with this system.
Anna has many years of experience as a Macrobiotic Cook and Teacher, Space Clearing Practitioner, Workshop facilitator and is a past Chair of the Macrobiotic Association. She knows that Macrobiotic principles form a strong basis for a truly sustainable future.
Modern Day Macrobiotics; Simon Brown
Simon will explore how we can update our practice of macrobiotics so that it best reflects our experience, successes, increased understanding of nutrition and scientific development. Simon will also discuss ways to make macrobiotic eating fun, easy and quick. The talk will include acid and alkaline, fermentation, glycaemic index, and the range of natural ingredients and use of oils.
Simon was the director of The Community Health Foundation from 1986 to 1993 and chair of the Macrobiotic Association from 2006 to 2009. He is the author of ‘Modern Day Macrobiotics’ and ‘Macrobiotics for Life’ and currently runs macrobiotic courses and provides macrobiotic consultations.
Emotional Wellbeing; Maria Serrano
Using Oriental models of psychology and emotions, Maria will explore the links between behavioural patterns, feelings, emotions and the underlying system of body energetic or Chi. The importance of Chi energy pathways is often overlooked and the resulting disparity between reality and perception the cause of much anxiety and stress.
Maria is currently chair of the Macrobiotic Association of Great Britain. She has more than twenty five years of experience in the healing profession, teaching Shiatsu, Oriental Medicine and Macrobiotics. She is a leading exponent of Macrobiotic Barefoot Shiatsu.
Holistic Wellbeing for Women; Marijke Deconinck
We are living in a challenging world and interesting times, especially for women. It is difficult to maintain the balance between being in your power and staying in your femininity. Marijke explains how understanding the differing energies of men and women and making the right choices in lifestyle and food enables women to blossom and be powerful. She will talk about the causes and healing of problems with the reproductive organs. Experience the TAO for women of all ages.
Marijke is an experienced teacher and counsellor with a wealth of knowledge and experience of holistic health and healing working with energy, yin-yang and 5 transformations, oriental diagnosis, etc. since 1979. After running her own health centre in Belgium for many years, Marijke now runs the Holistic Cooking School and International School of Macrobiotics with her partner in Devon.
Macrobiotics and Human Ecology; Bill Tara
The core principles of macrobiotic thinking and practice involve understanding how humanity can live in harmony with nature. Issues of physical, emotional and spiritual health all flow out of this understanding. Many of the world’s most pressing issues such as environmental degradation, social injustice and declining health, demand a transformation in human values and the creation of a human ecology that supports all life. Macrobiotics has much to offer in this process of personal and planetary healing.
| For over forty years Bill Tara has been at the forefront of macrobiotic education, developing businesses, educational projects, and teaching in over 20 countries. He has consistently focused his work on adapting the macrobiotic philosophy to the needs of modern life and culture. His approach is dynamic, simple and comprehensive. |
