RakSa's "Youthful Living" Health Fair

RakSa in Culver City proudly announces its 1st Health Fair called “Youthful Living”, taking place on Saturday, July 30, 2011 from 11am-4pm. RakSa, which means, “To Heal,” was created to provide a sacred place for transformative education, movement awareness, and holistic medicines.

This signature event will feature an afternoon of holistic information, sample treatments, refreshments and a number of prominent speakers, panelists and experts in the holistic world for guests to experience. During this free event, which is open to the public, RakSa will address the concept of aging; diet and beauty from a perspective that will help you discover your own fountain of youth from the inside out.

“We developed the Health Fair to give even more members of the local community a chance to enter our doors and experience what RakSa is all about,” says RakSa Founder & Owner, Apinya Pokachaiyapat. “We want as many people as possible to receive the education and tools to achieve a better well-being that RakSa can provide in a safe and holistic environment.”

The incredible group of panelists will show you that it’s not just food and exercise that promotes our well-being, but how we relate to said food and exercise. Our component parts are linked in such a complex way that neglecting one, as insignificant as it may appear to us, gradually affects the whole being that we are. 

PANEL SCHEDULE:

CHANGE YOUR AGE™                          11:15-11:45am

Our bodies are constantly being shaped and reshaped by the moves we make. As we grow up, we learn to walk, eat, sleep, dance, make love and think in certain ways. As we mature, unfortunately, we often move less, become creatures of our own habits and stop learning to move in new ways. We find ourselves with aches and pains, rigidities and limits. The good news is we can continue learning new ways at any age to look, move and feel younger. Feldenkrais Practitioner and Acupuncturist, Lucien Demaris will address the issues and how we can feel younger through the comfort of a balanced mind and body.

EAT RIGHT FOR YOUR BEING             12:15-1:15pm

Have you wondered why there is food that nourishes not only your physical hunger but your hunger for life? And why there are others that you just can’t touch? Maybe you’ve questioned why you haven’t found soup that tasted and felt nearly as good as your Grandmother’s recipe? Your body is sending you a message through food and telling you how to take care of yourself and others. Ryland Englehart, General Manager of Café Gratitude and Sustainable Food Systems Consultant and Healing Arts Practitioner, Cedar Laughingbrook Landsman, join Nutritionist Health Consultant, Jess Hilton to guide you on what to eat and how to eat what is truly right for you.

HOLISTIC BEAUTY                                2:15-3:15pm

Our relationship with beauty is a very important human concern. Appearance and image are foundational parts of self-esteem and self-confidence. However, we have turned our concern into how others see us placed less emphasis on how we see ourselves. Self-confidence and self-esteem can only come from a deeper place. The most beautiful people at any age are the ones who show their authentic soul and humanity in their faces. Find out how beauty can be fully reflected and expressed from the inside out with our beauty panelists: Ashley Beckman, Owner of Golden Path Alchemy, RakSa’s Ayurveda Practitioner, Jennie Erke and Alexandra Spunt, Co-Author of “No More Dirty Looks: The Truth About Your Beauty Products and the Ultimate Guide to Safe and Clean Cosmetics.

In addition to this incredible group of holistic panelists, there will be open rooms for guests to enjoy from 11:30am-3:30pm. Experience Ayurveda, Reflexology and Acupuncture, Hypnotherapy and Facials. Guests will also enjoy complimentary organic and vegan sweet treats from PALETA and complimentary drinks from O.N.E.

The first 10 guests to RSVP will receive a RakSa gift bag, redeemable the day of the event. In addition, all guests who RSVP and attend are automatically entered into the 2 RakSa raffles happening throughout the event. Winners will receive various RakSa complimentary sessions.
