[gawlerites] Re: Easter greetings

Hi Everyone,

Patti, it's really good to read of your experience with the Integration 
Program.  I had decided, even before reading your email, that this was the 
right year for me to take part in one of these programs and I actually enrolled 
last week for the next one starting on 20th May.  Although I have a lot of 
encouragement on the home front, I certainly need reinforcement on the diet 
side.  (In fact, were I to be absolutely honest, I need it on all sides.) Your 
beetroot sounds delicious.

When I was in St. Vincent's oncology section last Thursday, there was a lady, 
Jenny, who had been to the last Gawler Retreat and she couldn't speak highly 
enough of it.  It's still good to hear it praised up.  At the time, she didn't 
know I'd been last year.  She, too, has enrolled for the same Integration 
Program.  It was also interesting to hear that she has an infusion every 5 
weeks to strengthen her bones so that they heal 'smoothly'.  That is my word 
for what she said as I can't remember the term she used.

Thanks, and happy eating,
Lorraine.

  Hi Everyone,
  Thanks Bruce for reminding us..........

  I wanted to share with you my experience with the Gawler Foundation 
Integration Program which I attended last year.  It was good to go over all the 
mental, physical and spiritual elements that we were presented with in our 10 
day program.  It was also a good chance to meet others and get tips etc, I 
enjoyed the 8 weeks very much as it reinforced the diet/meditation/food and 
answered any questions I may have had. 

  The program commences 20th May and 2nd Sept 2010 in Hawthorn, you may have 
received the leaflet in the mail a few months ago.

  Also to let you know that the meditation and support group is ongoing at the 
University of Melbourne Hawthown campus. Meditation weekly 1pm to 2pm, support 
group fortnightly 2:30pm to 4:30pm, next one on on 13th April.

  I managed to cook up some fresh beetroot. If large boil whole (skin on)for 
approx. 1 hr. Let cool. Peel with hands, comes off easy. Slice and dress with 
olive oil and a little vinegar (I used apple cider).  This keeps in the fridge 
for a few days and delicious in salads, sandwiches or on it's own. Don't forget 
to wash the leaves and steam for soups, or to accompany as a cooked vegetable 
with a drizzle of olive oil.

  It's also worthwhile to keep in  the fridge grated carrot and beetroot to go 
in salads, sandwiches or in my brown rice balls (Dorothy's recipe modified), 

  Happy holidays,
  Patti

    Hi everyone,

    The list has gone quiet of late so this is just to touch base with you all 
and to wish you the very best for Easter.

    I know many on the list have difficulty with these key times of the year 
because of their personal battles with their health or because of the loss of a 
loved one, so please remember that the list is here and all the list members I 
know are only too happy to have a chat, lend an ear, a shoulder or even a bed, 
and if you choose the right time, you can probably even get a free coffee out 
of some.

    Please keep the recipes, event notifications, health tips etc coming. It 
really does help to stay connected, particularly with those who truly 
understand what you are going through and who don't prejudge.

    So hang in there guys and make the most out of the long weekend. May you 
all find some light, some peace and love, or some good fishing (or all of the 
aforementioned).

    Love and best wishes,

    Bruce
