Greetings,
 
 
Finally! It feels like spring. It is time, then, to start the process of clearing the debris and clutter that has collected over the cold of winter....time to break out of the stillness and into action!
 
Please read on and consider joining us for one of the upcoming events.
 
We hope to see you soon,
SunRaven Book Club

Swami Rama is the celebrated founder and spiritual leader of the Himalayan Institute. During his lifetime he was a prolific author of many books describing his experiences with the Masters that influenced his life. Indeed, this book, along with his life, are the embodiment of the living tradition in the East, which he hoped to share with seekers in the West.
 
The Art of Joyful Living is a book that specifically instructs us how to live a joyful life and how to transform habitual patterns of behavior that do not serve us well.
 
Please join us to review these insights and support each other in the process.
 
All are welcome!
 
 
Note: it is best to order this book directly from The Himlayan Institute: http://www.himalayaninstitute.org/Store/
 
SunRaven Group Juice Fast
 
May 2, 2008
If you have been thinking about undertaking a true "cleanse" or detox, a green juice fast along with a comprehensive protocol developed by one of the leading experts in the field can be an extremely valuable experience.
 
The SunRaven Juice Fast is unique in that it offers the support from a group of participants who share this interest and live in the same community.
 
The fast program will begin Friday May 2nd and continue through Saturday May 10th. Introductory meetings were already held in the past several weeks. However, if you are strongly considering the fast and have not attending one of the meetings it may not be too late! Contact me ASAP to get the information to begin the important "prefast preparations", including the list of supplies and instructions you will need as well as the calendar of the week's meetings and event schedule. 
 
For those that have already attending one of the meetings or are a "veteran of fasting", I would also like to hear a final word regarding your participation so that I can plan accordingly myself with enough juice on Opening night.

Integrative Medicine is both prevention and healing oriented. It incorporates modalities that focus on the mind and spirit as well as those that are more conventionally rooted in the biological sciences. Integrative Medicine is finding its place with those whose minds are open while remaining grounded in credible practices.

 

SunRaven was created as a space to hold this intention: that individuals and our society as a whole will learn and move forward in their evolution - to achieve a state of peace, tranquility, harmony and balance that comes from the collective wisdom of our great teachers

Shawn Mallon

A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, (B.A. and M.D.), Dr. Finkelstein is also a graduate of the Associate Fellowship Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, School of Medicine, a program founded and directed by Dr. Andrew Weil.  He is also the former Medical Director of Northern Westchester Hospital and the Founder and Medical Director of the Center for Health and Healing of Northern Westchester. 

 

Michael's work has evolved over the years from a traditional internal medicine practice to a more healing-oriented approach to health and wellness where he integrates this body of collective wisdom and science into something that is practical for individuals directly. His belief that everyone has the potential to attain a greater degree of resonance drives his optimism that better health is within reach for all of us.

A graduate of Manhattan College, Shawn holds a certification by the American College of Sports Medicine.  His team of 7 Personal Trainers hold both bachelor degrees as well as certifications from either the National Academy of Sports Medicine or the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

Shawn was voted Best Personal Trainer by Westchester Magazine and believes that fitness drives high function both in sports and in life.
