 Today, information and misinformation about health flood popular books and magazines. Modern medicine breaks new ground even as holistic professionals rediscover ancient wisdom. What remains is for us to integrate this information into our own lives and turn what we know into what we do.
The Peaceful Warrior's Way, as presented by Dan Millman, brings a refreshing balance to the arena of wellness that embraces east and west, science and mysticism, faith and reason.
Topics may include:
• three keys to health and vitality
• overcoming stress and tension
• healing power of the subconscious
• turning knowledge to action
No matter what the topics, Dan offers sensible reminders and realistic strategies for sustainable wellness; living at the peak of our genetic potential for physical, emotional and spiritual health -- living with a peaceful heart and warrior spirit.

Sunday, 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Location: Continental room
 Whether you realize it or not, we are all dreaming the world into being. What we’re engaging in is not the sleeping dream we’re familiar with, but the waking dream we craft with our eyes open. When we’re unaware that we all share the power to co-create reality with the help of the Universe itself, that power slips away from us and our dream turns into a nightmare. We begin to feel we’re the victims of an unknown and frightening creation that we’re unable to influence or change. Events seem to control us and trap us. The only way to end this dreadful reality is to awaken to the fact that it, too, is a dream, and recognize our ability to write a better story, one that the Universe will work with us to manifest. The nature of the cosmos is such that whatever dream you have about yourself and the world will become reality.
As soon as you awaken to your power to dream, you begin to flex the muscles of your courage. Then you can dream bravely: letting go of your limiting beliefs and pushing past your fears. You can begin to create truly original dreams that germinate in your soul and bear fruit in your life. Alberto Villoldo, PhD is a medical anthropologist who has spent the last 30 years investigating the healing practices of the shamans of the Amazon and the Andes. He is the founder of the Four Winds Society, an organization dedicated to the bridging of ancient shamanic traditions with modern medicine and psychology; and is the author of over 10 books, including Shaman, Healer, Sage; Mending the Past and Healing the Future with Soul Retrieval; The Four Insights and Yoga, Power and Spirit. His newly released book Courageous Dreaming is available in bookstores and has been chosen as a One Spirit selection of the month. The Four Winds Society Healing the Light Body School, provides a scientific framework through which it is possible to learn the ancient healing practices that can be "known but not told."
