Dear Michael,
 
 
The New Year has arrived and it is time for us to follow through with our personal resolutions. For most, this will include taking care of ourselves a little better by finding the right sources of nourishment on many levels.
 
One of the main ideas behind SunRaven is to provide a space where we can support each other in such a process. Therefore, we urge you to consider attending some of our programs throughout the year, including our next book club, mentioned below.  
 
And, don't forget about The Skillful Living Room radio show which is aired and simulcast every Saturday at 12 noon--and, if you don't get a chance to listen live, there are always the podcast archives that are available as well.
 
Whatever you do, we wish you well as you begin the year.

We are especially excited about this next book, since the author will be joining us!
 
Indeed, Jerome Kerner lives in Northern Westchester and will be bringing his work to life as we discuss his book, Be It Ever So Humble: A Dialogue at the threshold of Family, Ancestors, Culture and Home.
 
His perspective is rather unique and integrates his lifes' work as an architect and his passion as an observer of human nature. The ideas contained in the book are both novel and thoughtful and should foster a wonderful discussion on the matter of home, "bridging time and space to connect family, ancestors and culture."

The Skillful Living Room! Radio Show!
 
Saturday, January 9th Show: Beyond the Body-Mind!
Special Guest: Robin Queen
12-1PM EST 
 
The Skillful Living Room, is a nationally syndicated healthy living discussion that will feature patient success stories, physical and mental health tips, nutrition, fitness and wellness advice, a call-in portion, and expert advice from Dr. Finkelstein.  Commentary will also be provided by colleagues and friends whom he has met in his own personal journey. 
 
This program offers new ways of looking at our health and, with that, an entirely different perspective on issues such as common medical conditions and their underlying causes, alternative therapies and their appropriate usage, and contemporary topics, such as healthcare policy and the conventional and often controversial recommendations coming from the medical establishment itself.  
 
This is not a program that is intended to point fingers; rather its purpose is to raise awareness of other possibilities and to generate an intelligent discussion around that. 

Similarly, this is not a program that prescribes "take this or that" to treat illness. There is no quick fix. Instead, this program offers a more open-minded and practical approach to living that can result in greater health for each of us and, ultimately, a healthier society. 

 
This week's broadcast can be heard streaming live at 12 Noon, Saturday, January 9th, on The Business TalkRadio Network (www.businesstalkradio.net) and The Lifestyle TalkRadio Network (www.lifestyletalkradio.net). Friend and colleague, Robin Queen will join me to discuss her concept of the Body-Mind and how most of us, whether we realize or not, spend most of our time trapped in a space that prevents us from achieving the peace that we seek. Indeed, the discussion we wish to have will focus on ways to release us from the state of persistent tension that affects our mood and how we flow through our lives. We hope you will consider tuning in and joining in on the conversation as well with your own thoughts and stories. The call-in number is: (888) 454-3378.
 
The Skillful Living Room will broadcast weekly, on Saturdays, at 12 noon.  For more information visit www.TheSkillfulLivingRoom.org
