Wise Traditions 2015 is coming up very soon, and I am wishing to encourage all who read this to consider attending this fantastic event, being held at the  Hyatt Regency, Minneapolis MN November 10-13. 

The annual conference of the Weston A Price Foundation is where I first began to truly learn and grasp accurate nutrition information while also forming the vision of what my own family's health  could and should be!

I have personally attended nearly every conference since 2003 and have never been disappointed in the quality of speakers, presentations, information, encouragement, fellowship, and FOOD! Oh, the food...


 Food at a typical conference is generally of no better quality than your average american restaurant: conventional commodities fried in soybean oil, overcooked vegetables, toxin-laden CAFO meats, and foods accented with margarine and MSG. Not so at a Wise Traditions Conference, where there is always the strong message: food matters! The accompanying menu thus must be nothing less than filled to the brim with nutrient-dense deliciousness! The majority of food found on our tables comes from local and small family farms, independent producers, deep oceans and lakes; while having been prepared with knowledgeable, caring hands. It is worth the trip to the conference just to experience the food!

But the caliber of speakers and information presented is equally astounding. Broaching topics as far-reaching as cholesterol and statin drugs, to preparing for healthy babies and the care and feeding of the family; there is something for every health-conscious person willing to open their minds (and hearts) to learn. Homeopathics, farming, traditional diets, vaccinations, heart disease, GMO's, cancer, charcuterie, cures for childhood ailments, raw milk benefits & legal issues, food as medicine, dental disease, thyroid disease, gardening, vegan diets, fiber, food clubs, sulfur, fermented foods, natural skin care, the non-toxic home, small-scale poultry production, weight-loss, curing tooth decay, ... The variety of topics covered in our conferences is vast, and of great importance!

But if the speakers, information and food is not enough to grab your attention, then how about the warmth and encouragement that comes from spending a few days with thoughtful, caring people of like-mind? Many friendships are forged at our conferences, friendships that transform and enhance lives! And there is no need to leave the kids behind; share the adventure with your children by bringing them along and enrolling the younger ones in the activity-packed children's program where they will be nourished, well cared-for, and enjoy making new friends even as their parents are attending lectures and workshops. My own children are making life-long friendships and are encouraged by the adults who surround them, reinforcing the messages of good food and good health that their parents are teaching them. There is plenty of opportunity for family time throughout the days and evenings as well.

 So for about the cost of a typical family vacation you can take advantage of this life-changing experience that will encourage and edify your entire family, helping each of you to thrive for the rest of your lives! So why not? What's holding you back?!
