Greetings,
Late Summer is a time when the weight of the season
catches up with us, much like the ripening fruit that
bends the branches of the trees. The air too feels heavy
and it is a good time to slow down and to soak up the
heat in preparation for the cooler months that can now
be sensed in the distance.
In just a few weeks, it will be a time of greater
activity and we will reap the harvest of the seeds we
have planted. But not so fast....
So, with only one eye open to the future, I invite
you to look ahead at what's coming at SunRaven and mark
your calendars.
In just under two weeks, the next book club will
meet to discuss the local guru Rudi, who's life and work
(and name!) reminds us of the sun and the joy of being
in the heart, so appropriate to consider now. And in
September, two meeting dates have now been selected to
introduce individual to the concepts and benefits of
Fasting and Detoxification. The September book club will
take place later in the month and the next Group Juice
Fast will follow in October.
While I look forward to seeing you soon at one of
these events, please don't forget to stay in the moment
and enjoy every day.
I hope they are all good for you,
Michael
P.S. Please take a moment to look at the updated
and new SunRaven website! www.sunraven.org |

Swami Rudrananda
(Rudi) was born in Brooklyn and grew up like many of
us. His journey and the lessons of his teaching
inspired many throughout his life. This work represents
a compendium of much of his insights.
In His Own Words, Rudi said,
"I am not here to give you the answers.
I am here to give you the energy so that you can
get your own answers and find within you that which you
are."
...and, together, perhaps, we can help
each other.
Please join us to share the wisdom and support each
other in the process.
All are welcome!
Note: This book should be available through
services, such as Amazon and Barnes & Nobles, but
may also be purchased directly from the publisher, Rudra

| Introduction
to Fasting and Detoxification
Thursday
September 11th 7:00-8:30PM
or
Friday September 19th at 6:00 to
7:30PM
Over the last several years many people have asked
me questions about various fasting protocols and the
merits of detoxification. In preparation for our sixth
organized SunRaven Group Fast, I invite you to join us
for an introductory discussion on these topics.
During the evening, I will discuss the principles
of detoxification and offer some specific recommendation
about fasts. I will also demonstrate the preparation of
"green juice" and prepare you to begin your own
program.
For those who would consider participating in
the sixth SunRaven Group Fast (which
will begin on Friday October 17th--see details below),
this would be an excellent introduction. In fact, it is
required for those who have not participated in the past
as it takes several weeks to organize for the fast week
itself and it is important for me to meet you and to go
over these details with new propsective fasters.
The seminars will be held on the two dates
listed...it is not necessary to attend more than one.
The fee for the evening will be $25 which will include a
glass of deliciously nutritious freshly made "green"
vegetable juice.

More than 30 years ago Pat Redegast was having a
very special conversation with someone inside her
head. At first, she actually thought she was
hallucinating. Years later, and with the support of
other friends and guidance, she realized that the
messenger, Emmanuel, was a special part of her conscious
awareness. After many more years of communication and
contemplation she published the work, which became a
cult classic.
Now, decades later, our collective consciousness is
being reintroduced to these messages with a renewed
sense of interest and purpose.
Please share with us as we explore the world and
words of Emmanuel.

SunRaven Group Juice
Fast
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 Group 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 October
17th and continue through Saturday October
25th.
Introductory meetings have been scheduled in
September (see above) and are essential for those who
have not participated in the Group Juice Fast at
SunRaven previously.

Consultation
If you have an
interest in learning more about how you can take better
care of yourself, or are struggling to make sense of the
health and medical advice offered by your doctors,
friends and the media perhaps it is time to make an
appointment.
For more information about the
process, please contact me by email or
phone.
