2019 INTERNATIONAL MACROBIOTIC CONFERENCE THEME:
ADAPTING AND PRESERVING THE SPIRIT OF MACROBIOTICS
How do we bring consciousness, spirituality and macrobiotic principles to a modern open discussion on climate change that will appeal to new generations?
2019 PRESENTATIONS
1. Fasting as Simple & Healthy Diet
Ana Kraus
Fasting is the time to rest the body, purge it of impurities and toxins and a form of connection with our spirituality. There are several types of fasting and Ana Kraus will talk about one-day and half-day fasting on water.
2. Macrobiotics & The Environment
Simon Brown
Reflections on how we can update macrobiotics to bring it back to the forefront of environmental consciousness. It will include the issue of whether we focus on personal health and to what extent we might need to make sacrifices to be part of a bigger environmental movement.
3. The Brain & Consciousness
Rik Vermuyten
Brain becomes our most developed, condensed and advanced organ in our whole body. It eats and feeds itself with the most Yin, invisible, fast moving vibrations that go far beyond our visible spectrum. Some perspectives of an open mind view...
4. Adapt and preserve the spirit of Macrobiotics to appeal to younger generations
Ana Luísa Bolsa & Dulce Costa
Our reality is overwhelmingly different from that of Ohsawa when he began spreading Macrobiotics. We need to understand how we can pass on the message of Macrobiotics to younger generations so that they can understand and adopt it and, in turn, pass it on to subsequent generations.
5. A look at Global Food for Macrobiotics
Melanie Waxman & Anna Mackenzie
A fascinating practical and philosophical overview of the similarities of traditional diets world wide - how and why they change and make balance with the locality and environmental conditions. Exploring how each country honours its’ common values through their agriculture, seasonal food preparation and the social importance of eating together for family, diplomacy and the spirit of sharing and digesting life. From our findings, we present some ideas as to how to broaden the image and range of macrobiotic eating habits.
6. A Resilient Future
Kristiane Ravn Frost
Resilience future is about securing good living conditions for now and future generations. Is about equality, education, water, food and capturing CO2 before it goes into the atmosphere. In other words is about all the 17 world goals. We will do a little exercise on how these goals relate to Macrobiotics.
7. Code of Conduct and Ethics for Macrobiotics Professionals
Anna Mackenzie, Ana Luísa Bolsa & Oliver Cowmeadow
It will be presented a Code of Conduct & Ethics written to take into account the diversity of Macrobiotics schools and professionals so it can be used around the world. It’s based on the Code of Conduct & Ethics of the Macrobiotic Association in England and reflects previous discussions about it.
8. Nourishing courage and develop consciousness
Anna Mackenzie
For Our Children’s, children’s children - how to nurture courage, recreate clear water, develop consciousness,
through intuition, identity, integrity and the interdependence of our most sacred life-force. No separation. No corporate commodities. Looking at the possibilities.
9. An approach about life with a destiny
Filipa Silva
Do macrobiotics theories include a sense of destiny or, otherwise, are individual responsibility and choice all about personal achievements? Do we aspire to connect to nature and the universe and let them guide us or be separated and our own decision maker?
And if there is a destiny, are we dramatically entangled to it or is there something else to learn with it? What is our destiny and does accepting our destiny lead to us living a bigger life, we could ask, as macrobiotic practitioners? And what are the practices that could help us to align with our destiny?
Do In; Palm Healing; Self-reflection & Breathing exercises
Essential in the knowledge of Macrobiotics these learnings will be revisited and practiced at this conference.
