We have been collaborating with David Crow of Floracopeia in facilitate some of their online programs.  We rejoice in being able to collaborate with David and all those who see that collaboration is the key to creating a dynamic, sustainable future.  With his associate, Jai Dev, they filmed an interview with us that we think you would find meaningful.  It was recorded at the 2008 NAMA conference in Chicago.  Just CLICK HERE  and enjoy.  Also, if you go to www.Medicinecrow .com you will also be able to hear an interview I did for Floracopeia in November.  Melanie has done an interview which you can listen to by clicking this LINK .  We also want to invite people to come to a very special Medicine Crow event, where Melanie and I shall be teaching, along with a number of leading thinkers and doers in the natural and holistic ;living communities.  The event is called Medicine Crow Live.  It will be held May 8th-11th in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada range.  To sign up and get a great discount, go to Medicine Crow Live .

      GREEN is now a fact and grow trend in the spa and beauty industries.  We continue our work with the Green Spa Network and the LNE/Dermascope family who have demonstrated their commitment to these efforts.  Along with our blogs, go to www.lneonline.com and www.greenspanetwork.org and keep up with news, events at shows, and ways you can make your spa or practice more sustainable and beneficial for all.

     "Green" has become an important symbol and the call to is definitely out to answer what helps make our lives and the lives of those around us more meaningful and sustainable.  This is a GOOD thing.  We are hearing the call for more compassion and connection and though times are hard people are helping one another more in more ways and with kind words and deeds than I ever remember.  In the spa and beauty industries, what this means is that we are able to take our care and concern for others to a whole new level.  And, in fact, we believe that the spa industry can be a leading force in helping people to take better care of themselves - not only by coming to a spa or receiving a massage now and then, but also in training people to more better take care of themselves in their day-to-day lives.

	We are happy to see that more and more clients and spas are seeing the remarkable benefits of our new kansa face and foot wands.   Whether you use our PediKarma service or do any other form of foot treatment, this kansa foot massager will take your treatment to a whole new level.  We also carry in stock a slightly smaller version which can be used on the face and body.

        This fall we launched a new initiative in association with Brig. General James Cook of the US Army Reserves and his project, the Warrior Water Center. The project is called Welcoming Warriors Home. The goal is to provide FREE introductory spa, yoga center, and therapeutic opportunities for our returning veterans and their families.  It has been established that massage, yoga, and meditation are extremely effective helping these men and women adjust back into civilian life.  More and more people are signing up to be a part of this initiative.  Contact us if you would like to be included.

                                                   May all beings benefit!
