Healing with Food & Food Supplements than Pharmaceutical Drugs … An Alternative Health Talk by Dr. Jimmy Dy-Liacco – 27 August, Saturday from 2 to 6pm

Come and discover for yourself from Dr. Jimmy Dy-Liacco, doctor of metabolic medicine in Philippine College for the Advancement of Medicine (PCAM) the world of natural healing.  The kind, soft spoken doctor shares case
study after case study of people from all walks of life he’s healed with the power of natural food and food supplements – a lot seemingly hopeless, even terminal.  He will also touch on the mysterious and miraculous diagnostic and healing method known as muscle testing.

Dr. Dy-Liacco holds a certificate of doctor of metabolic medicine from Dr. William Donald Kelley's College of Metabolic Medicine.  He has been a trustee of PCAM since 2002, and in 2005, he was Acting Director of the

DOH's Philippine Institute for Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PITAHC). He is an expert on the power of natural healing, having himself survived pancreatic cancer.

Seats are limited at P500/person as the venue is quite intimate and very conducive to interaction and Q&A.  Healthy snacks and refreshments will be served. 

Goody goody kefir and I gotcha kombucha! A talk on real energising refreshment – 3 September, Saturday from 2pm to 5pm

Real energising refreshment comes from getting nourishment from your beverage and not just sugar, flavourings and colourings.

Kefir and kombucha are two beverages with ancient origins that have withstood the test of time as they have potent health benefits – almost too good to be true for a lot of people but even more people from all over the world attest to its curative powers.  And with talented kefir and kombucha brewers Marjoree “Jeren” Cabral of Goody Kefir and Brent Metken of Planet Health Kombucha, these otherwise obscure beverages are now fast gaining popularity amongst health buffs and other people in the Metropolis.

Jeren and Brent will discuss kefir and kombucha’s origins and health benefits.  Sugarleaf’s Angelo N. Songco and Gina S. Yambot will show practical easy-to-do recipes using kefir and kombucha in other applications to make it even more appetising to everyone of all ages.

The workshop is P300 per person with healthy snacks and samplings of the preparations demonstrated. 

Lifetime Lifestyle Change! A practical guide to detoxification – 17 September, Saturday 2pm to 5pm

Change usually happens when a significant event whether positive or negative happens in one’s life.  In the case of entrepreneur-journalist Zonito Torevillas-Tamase, a health crisis spanning several years while she was working in the corporate world encouraged her to shift priorities and turned inwards into herself.

After being given so much medication for high blood pressure and other ailments, she did a lot of self study, attended training, and conducted research regarding the curative powers of detoxification.  Years later, she’s free from having to take pharmaceutical drugs and has made it her advocacy to teach what she’s discovered to more people.

Zonito is also a pioneer proponent of malunggay (moringa) use in the Philippines and has developed many tasty food items from this super food.

Her practical hands-on workshop includes an introduction to detoxification, its health benefits, discussion on materials and recommended take-home eating plan to maximise its effect. 

Aside from physical detoxification, Zonito will also touch on other aspects of life balance such as stress management, relationships and spirituality.

The morning and afternoon session can only accommodate up to ten persons as each participant will undergo a guided enema procedure.  Participation is P2,500 per person with a practical take-home guide to continue the regimen.

Alive !  Raw and Super Food Preparation Workshop Series

Lastly, Sugarleaf has commissioned Bali-certified professional educator Asha Anahata Peri for a three-part living food preparation series three Saturdays from October to December, 2 to 6pm. 

As the weather starts to cool, we theme our demonstration menus with delectable recipes appropriate for the holiday table guaranteed to nourish and impress your family and friends.

Sugarleaf and Asha present holiday-inspired dishes from appetizers to soup and salads, main courses to desserts and drinks utilizing nature’s bounty of fresh organic produce and other natural ingredients.

Unleash The Power Of Plants on 29 October 2011

Imagine a beautifully-prepared meal with the sun literally in each and every ingredient.  A beautiful plant soaking in lavish amounts of light from the source that feeds us all with the nutrient of life. When we eat enzyme-rich raw food, all the forces of nature conspire to provide us with both physical and subtle energies that nurture our entire being with the healing power inherent in plants. In this workshop, recreate your plate by mixing in all the rainbow colors to create low glycemic dishes that will help you get started on the path to wellness, as well as sweetly satisfying all your senses. Use seeds and sprouts, leaves, stems and roots, flowers and fruits to make gourmet meals that highlight the wonders of superfoods, opening up a beautiful light-filled path to be shared with others and the world.

S.A.D. Becomes Happy! On 19 November

The Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) has been the major cause of a lot of diseases prevalent today.  Burgers and fries, fast fried food, ice cream and other dairy-based products heavily processed with refined sugars have caused not just physical illnesses but imbalances in the emotional lives of many people.

For those who seek meals that favor a feeling of lightness over sorrow, the good news is that this popular but unhealthy diet can be transformed into living food that can actually mock the taste of S.A.D. food without the illness-causing ingredients. Once anyone commits to a plant-based diet, happiness becomes a natural effect of a raw lifestyle that supports the total well-being of any individual.

A Taste Of Green Gourmet on 3 December 2011

This Christmas, let green be the star of your holiday platter!  This workshop will present a full holiday feast guaranteed to nourish and impress your family and friends.  Learn how to make delicious gourmet recipes that are guilt-free, low-calorie, creatively colorful and surprisingly flavorful!  Make your noche buena extra special and

healthy this year (and beyond) by giving yourself the gift of nature's abundance as you renew for the new year your commitment to create a greener and healthier planet.

Workshop fee is P2,000/person complete with detailed notes and generous samplings of all dishes prepared.  Student, couple, group and senior citizen discounts apply.  Early reservations recommended as seats are limited.  Call, SMS Angelo on 0917 8039 055 or email angelo@sugarleafph.com or Asha Peri on 0917 8611 212.  Sugarleaf’s complete calendar of events is online on www.sugarleafph.com.
