Winter '07 Midterm Break

Contact: 310-854-4440

Work party: 2pm-6:30pmPotluck Supper on the porch-6:30-7:3
0pm
Community Drum Circle-7:30-9pm

Join us on Sunday at Alma de Mujer for an afternoon of community work
followed by a potluck supper and a Community Drum Circle facilitated
by Sherry Gingras! Alma is a beautiful socially conscious Retreat
Center, an \"outpost of social change\", owned by the Indigenous Women's
Network and she is in need of some TLC to bring her back into her
glory and let her once again flourish as the wondrous center that she
is! This is a beautiful and magical property across the road from the
Crossings near Volente on Lake Travis. For those of us who have been
around Austin for a while, you may remember her as \"The Laos House\", a
Buddhist Retreat Center and Austin's first real holistic retreat
center ! After years of sharing her beauty and magic with the Austin
Community as well as others from far and wide, Alma now needs US to
give back to her and replenish the space and the land with some loving
care and good vibrations! The garden needs some love and tending, and
various and as sundry fix up and clean up projects are here and
there. Tom Gingras will be there along with Dolly, the woman in charge
at Alma now, at 2pm to show folks the work list and you can simply
pick the task or tasks that you love most and do best and have at it
in the beauty and splendor of this lovely hill country setting.
Potluck Supper will be at 6:30pm and then the Drum Circle will follow at 7:30ish! Please bring a dish to share and plates, cups and utensils
enough for yourself and your guests so clean up will be minimal.
This is a magical , healing spot and it was a vibrant and flourishing
healing center for our community for many, many years. Now the center
needs us to bring some healing energy to it and I have volunteered to
spearhead these \"First Sunday of the Month Community Work party/
potluck supper/ Drum Circle\" experiences to give back to Alma and
help bring life and love and energy back into this space. All are
welcome and you may come to all of it or some of it! If you can only
come to the Drum Circle, by all means come and celebrate this space
and help bring the healing vibrations to Alma. We ask that those who
only come to the circle please donate a love offering of $5 per person
to Alma, or bring a native plant to add to the landscape. This is an
opportunity to share with a community of people the joy of giving and
contributing to a center that is vitally important to our world- a
place where people come together and learn how to be in loving,
supportive, committed community together...honoring each other , the
land we share, and all things. A place where people can gather to
discover and create ways to powerfully affect change in our world.
\"Alma de Mujer was gifted to the Indigenous Women's Network in 1996 by
Genevieve Vaughn as an \"outpost of social change\" and a land base for
Indigenous peoples. Documenting and sharing Indigenous women's
collective knowledge of the natural world and our relationship to the
land and ecosystem is at the heart of our work. Originally built as a
Buddhist retreat center, Alma serves as both a space for retreats and
conferences for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples for the creation
of new models of education, healing, leadership, decision-making and
development. Our wooded wildlife refuge and endangered species
habitat encompasses twenty-one acres in the heartland of the
beautiful Texas Hill Country.
Alma de Mujer is the non-profit Education and Resource Center for
Indigenous Women's Network. Alma's workshops have included
traditional pottery, organic gardening, medicinal plants and healing
seminars, cultural arts camps for youth as well as hosting IWN
international gatherings.
Alma enjoys an established reputation as the site of an on-going
process that envisions and supports holistic and sustainable
communities. Each year we host many spiritual and social justice
non-profit organizations as well as businesses seeking private
planning and training options. Located 20 miles northwest of Austin
our secluded natural setting provides a reflective and nurturing space
for our guests.
Alcohol and drug use is not permitted and our buildings are smoke
free. Alma's staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have
regarding our center and programming. Tours, maps, and additional
information are available. Please call 512-258-3880 or visit
www.almademujer.com\"
This center thrived under the guidance of a woman who gave her heart
and soul to this place for many years,an incredibly gifted sculptor
and artist , a true and deep lover of the land , of nature, and the
natural healing arts, and a very committed and passionate social
activist, Marcia Gomez. Marcia's life ended tragically a number of
year's ago and Alma has never been the same. In honor of Marcia, in
honor of the Indigenous Women's Network, in honor of the beautiful
and magical spirit of the land where this center resides, and in honor
of the power and necessity of creativity and community and the
nurturance of feminine energy in our world today, I invite you and
your family and friends to join Tom and I and the wonderful folks at
Alma, for this and every First Sunday of the month starting Sunday,
March 4th at 2pm! I hope to see you there in the warmth of the sun or
under the starry starry skies( the full moon is Saturday night so the
moon should still be awesome!). For directions and more information

aphysics,
ancient truths, philosophical traditions, and both Eastern and Western
medicine to create an integrated and harmonic approach to health care
and healing. The Acutonics is an energy-based non-invasive treatment
that is similar to acupuncture. Precision calibrated tuning forks are
applied to specific acupuncture and acupressure points to access the
body's Meridian and Chakra energy systems. Colleen Morris received her

Hey guys, If you are looking for something fun to do on
Friday
the 13th, you should come see me play downtown! Most
of you know, I usually perform as a solo artist, but
if all goes as planned on Friday, I will be playing
with a drummer and maybe more. A little experiment!

It'll be at \"The Mohawk\" on 10th and Red River. The
show starts at 10, but there's gonna be three acts
before me. I will probably go on around 12:30am. I
think it's five bucks to get in.

Here is a flyer:

Good luck on finals, if you have any left!

Dr Shen had put together a group of volunteers in the past t
o come and
do massages and accupuncture for our volunteers. We provide a tent at
the festival grounds and volunteers would bring out their chair/table.
There would be a sign up sheet at the tent and volunteers would come
up and schedule a massage or accupuncture session. Typically there
would be 2 shifts on both Friday and Saturday from 1-5 & 5-9. 

Each volunteer would receive a 4 day with camping pass, volunteer
t-shirt, some drink/food tickets and of course the exposure. We would
like to offer accupuncture so if you could send out to your alumni as
well. If we could nail down someone to be there as a team leader I
could also provide that person/persons a backstage pass which would
allow free food/drink etc.

I know this is extremely short notice as the festival is this weekend!
Once again, thank you very much for sending this out and have anyone
interested call me ASAP.

World Tai Chi & Qigong Day, 
This SATURDAY, April 28th 
ar
rive 9:30am, main event 10am, demonstrations 10:30
Auditorium Shores (Town Lake just off 1st Street on the south side of
the lake, across from Palmer Auditorium near the Stevie Ray Vaughn
statue. Some parking along Riverside, more in the neighborhood, paid
parking in the auditorium.)

On Saturday, April 28, 2007, Austin/Travis County Health and Human
Services Department, Steps to a Healthier Austin and the Mayor's
Fitness Council will join Tai Chi practitioners in celebrating World
Tai Chi & Qigong Day.

This is a worldwide event to promote global health and healing. At
exactly 10 a.m. local time, practitioners and the public worldwide
will do Tai Chi with the intention of sending a wave of healing energy
across the globe.

All Tai Chi schools, families, friends, and the general public are
invited to come to Auditorium Shores for this free event. There will
be free classes and orientation beginning at 9:30 a.m. with
demonstrations starting at 10:30 a.m. This event is currently
celebrated in more than 60 countries across six continents.

Tai Chi is a martial art that provides health benefits for all ages,
including stress reduction, improved coordination and flexibility, as
well as bringing people closer to nature and the environment. Tai Chi
involves a slow series of movements which focus on breathing, balance
and co-ordination.

The forms cultivate qualities like a relaxed and focused mind as well
as a healthy resilient body. And it's a great way to begin the day.
Tai Chi and Qigong help strike a balance between our dynamic
(male/yang) side and our receptive (female/yin) side. Men and women
have both qualities, and these techniques help us balance them.

Research has shown that Tai Chi is an effective technique in
preventing and treating geriatric diseases and delaying the aging
process. The City Parks and Recreation Department is incorporating Tai
Chi into its senior activity program at Oak Hill with great success.

therapist. Also, massage therapists are encouraged to take breaks and
take care of themselves as needed. 

The RIDE needs therapists who meet the following criteria to serve as
volunteers for the 2007 Ride:

• Registered Massage Therapists or those enrolled in a MT program and
allowed to perform massage, or chiropractors, or acupuncturists 
• Available April 28th from 12:00 to 5:00, or a time slot during those
hours

• Has transportation to/ from Krause Springs

As volunteers, all massage therapists and other practitioners are
welcome to have dinner at Krause Springs on Saturday evening and be

AAAOM New Orleans Conference &
Reunification Celebration!

M
ay 10-13, 2007
Rebuilding the Future

Triumph is in the air, and gaiety will be on hand, when the AAAOM
celebrates the recent nationwide professional organization
Reunification at their upcoming New Orleans Conference from May 10 -
13, 2007! Reuniting and recreating a single united voice for the
professions of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AOM) is a personal
and collective success for us all. It is an honor, a joy, and a true
victory for students and professionals of AOM to stand side by side
together as we work toward rebuilding our cooperative futures.

\"Rising from the foundation of tradition, New Orleans is the perfect
place to celebrate unification!\" The AAAOM is proud to call all
students and professionals of AOM together at the threshold of our new
beginnings near the vibrant undamaged French Quarter of New Orleans,
where all life and energy is focused on community growth and renewal.
No classes or events have been scheduled for the evening time (with
the exception of the AAAOM-SO Student Caucus on Friday), so that
people can enjoy, explore, and experience the local vitality together,
and reconnect with colleagues and friends. 

In the spirit of rebirth, restoration, and solidarity, the AAAOM is
presenting three major New Orleans Conference tracks, including NADA
training, OB/GYN services, and Working Class Acupuncture (WCA). Many
well-known guest speakers will be participating. NADA training will
incorporate caring for the caregivers, offering local off-site
treatment to New Orleans firefighters, EMS, and counselors that cared
for the citizens of New Orleans through Hurricane Katrina. OB/GYN
services will cover women's health and maternity care, including
successfully managing labor and delivery. WCA will bring a viable
cost-efficient model for AOM treatment to Middle America, further
empowering both patients and professionals. Visit www.aaaomonline.org
for the AAAOM New Orleans Conference brochure and further details.

To encourage nationwide Student participation, the AAAOM has extended
early bird specials and drastically reduced student rates. The
AAAOM-SO Student Caucus Meeting and Dinner on Friday, 5/11/07, from
5:00 PM - 10:00 PM is FREE! General Conference pricing for students
has been discounted to just $50.00 (a $10.00 savings!). NADA Didactic
Training cost is now just $325.00 for all four days, Thursday through
Sunday (an amazing $200.00 discount!). Student prices for the OB/GYN
track (Friday and Saturday) and the WCA track (Saturday through
Sunday) have been radically cut as well! Both the OB/GYN and WCA
classes are now available for students only at just $175.00 (a $150.00
savings!). These are extraordinary seminars with nationally renowned
guest speakers! In addition, the luncheon banquet on Saturday is
included at no additional cost for everyone attending the NADA,
OB/GYN, and WCA conferences! You don't want to miss the opportunity
for this exceptional training at these rock bottom prices!

Continental breakfasts are FREE for all Hampton Inn New Orleans
Convention Center guests! The hotel has agreed to accommodate 5
students per room at a cost of just $27.80 per student per night
(taxes not included). Four students sharing a room would cost $32.25
per student per night. Three per room would be $43.00 per student per
night. Two per room would be $64.50 per night per student per night.
The single occupancy rate is $129.00. If 5 students share a room,
the hotel cost for the entire New Orleans Conference (3 nights) would
be just $83.40 per student (includes $10.00 for a roll-away bed)! If
four share a room the entire Conference (3 nights) would be only
$96.75 per student! That's two great opportunities for hotel costs
for the entire New Orleans Conference totaling less than $100.00
(taxes not included)!

To help promote the spirit the AAAOM Reunification Celebration all
students are encouraged to room-share, and to consider ride-sharing if
you'll be coming via car. If you'd like to make a travel connection
with another student, who'll be attending the New Orleans Conference
from your area, please email or call your AAAOM-SO Regional Director
for assistance (see contact list attached). Remember super-saver
airfares also are often available on line.

Be a part of embracing our profession and creating the foundations of
tomorrow. Commit to independent and interdependent personal and
professional growth. Join us at the AAAOM New Orleans Conference, as
we proclaim and celebrate the AAAOM Reunification and the incredible
transformational power of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and as we
unite together to rebuild our collective futures!

For the love of the medicine, for the love of the art, and for the
love of life and health!

Wishing you all the best,

Rhonda Wilbur and Koala Moore,
AAAOM-SO Co-Presidents
