text: 'Traditional marriage' group wants Christians to reclaim rainbow symbol from 'gay lobby' The GA Voice Editors December 16, 2010 Culture Morse goes on to say she wore a rainbow-colored scarf to the Prop 8 Court of Appeals hearing "to signify the the supporters of traditional marriage still own the symbol," according to the article. Thanks for the fashion tip. "We can't simply let that go by. Families put rainbows in their children's nurseries. Little Christian preschools will have rainbows… Noah's Ark and all the animals… Those are great Christian symbols, great Jewish symbols," Morse added. I really don't even know how to argue with this woman's statements. She sounds ridiculous, stupid, moronic, idiotic. And those are just all easy words to throw at someone you don't agree with. So we've just got to laugh, I suppose. But it is very important to realize how deep their hatred for us reaches. They want to claim a rainbow. They don't want us to have anything to do with a rainbow. People who are willing to expend energy on such something as seemingly as silly as this is truly scary stuff. It can't be ignored. h/t LGBTQ Nation Top photo: A rainbow flag (via flickr.com/photos/-marlith-) used under Creative Commons 2.0 SHARE ON Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published.

Hi there,
Thanks for your review. Whcih areas did you have the procedure carried out on?
- Reply
I went back and forth for a long time on getting liposuction, and then when I finally decided I would do it I really did a lot of research first. I learned about everything I could and looked for the best doctors in LA. In my searches Dr. Amron came up as one of the top results. I visited to several other offices before meeting with Dr. Amron and his bedside manner made me most comfortable and I decided he was the doctor for me. After going in for consultation I was very excited with what Dr. Amron said he could do for me. Of course, I was a little worried as well because it is surgery. But I still wanted to have the liposuction and I am so incredibly glad that I went through with it.

Why is it that I have no servce, internet, phone and cable, I call, they say someone will be out, but no one shows? This isnt the first time it happened. They say Thursday will be the first time they can get out here. They first say someone else up the street is also out and someone will be out. Can mediacomchad or some else check on things?
I am not currently seeing any issues in the area. Can you send me an IM with your account or phone number?
The local folks are working on it, I'm not for sure what is going on right now. last night when I called back there wasn't an outage, now they are saying there is?
I will be happy to verify this. Send me your account or phone number and I will see what is going on.
Thank You. Let me know if you have any other questions or issues.

I think Comcast has to put that unit in bridge mode.
Another thing you might think about is getting a wireless access point and installing in the middle of your house.
If your house has carpet throughout there is a way to run cat5e between the tack strip and the wall under the carpet.I did that with a neighbor a couple years ago in his house with bad wireless signals and that cured his problem.
Sorry, I just re-read my post. I should have said wireless router, not WAP.With my neighbors problem he had the same modem/wireless router as you have, but was located at one end of the house in the basement and everything on the main floor had terrible signal levels.We had Comcast put the unit in bridge mode and I ran a cat5e to the middle of the main floor and installed a Netgear router there.For some reason he gets excellent signals now in the whole house, even in the basement.....only thing we can figure is the wireless side of the TG862 is pretty weak. Which is the same problem you are having.

Bless you for reaching out and showing interest in the Whole Health Medicine Institute's Health Care Provider Training program. In this program, we'll be teaching you how to use a six-step process for helping clients diagnose the real reason they're sick, getting clear on what their bodies are trying to communicate with them, making life decisions aimed at improving the health of their minds, and learning how to use their intuition to combine Western medicine with self-healing mind-body medicine techniques aimed at decreasing the body's "fight-or-flight" stress responses and activating the body's innate natural self-repair mechanisms. We'll also be empowering you to heal yourself so you can offer your healing art from a place of fullness, rather than from depletion.
The Whole Health Medicine Institute Physician Training program has been training health care providers to practice medicine according to Lissa Rankin, MD's Mind Over Medicine philosophy, as shared in her New York Times bestselling book, featured on her National Public Television special Heal Yourself: Mind Over Medicine, and communicated in three TEDx talks. But many aligned physicians, even those who have been trained to do so, lack the time to work clients through the six steps to healing yourself. When we interviewed some of the doctors who graduated from previous programs, they expressed a strong desire to collaborate with other like-minded health care providers who might have more time to work one-on-one with clients. That's when we decided to extend this program to those who might work independently or in harmony with health care providers like the Whole Health Medicine Institute doctors.
That's where you come in. Healing health care will take a village, and we need you and your gifts in their most fully expressed form. For this round of the Whole Health Medicine Institute, we'll be accepting 120 health care providers. Those qualified to participate include any licensed health care provider, such as nurses, nurse practitioners, midwives, physician assistants, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, acupuncturists, naturopaths, nutritionists, dentists, life coaches, health coaches, and other non-MD health care providers and healers.
Are you the right healer to embark upon a program like this?
Take this little pop quiz to find out.
If you answered at least one of these questions with a rousing "Hell yeah," you're one of us- the team of visionary healers who will help transform health care from the inside out, though it's possible you don't feel so visionary quite yet. And that's okay. We trust you. You'll get there…
You were probably called to your field because you have the heart of a healer, and you are part of a lineage of healers that predates conventional medicine by millennia. Yet our health care system may have left you feeling dissociated from this lineage. Whether you work in an office, a hospital, or virtually, you may feel frustrated with feeling pressured to see more and more clients in less and less time. Or maybe you've escaped the system and you've hung out a shingle in a cash-based practice in order to have more quality time with your clients, but now you're struggling to create a thriving practice amidst a stunted economy. Or perhaps you've even left medicine altogether because you were tired of selling out your health, happiness, or integrity in exchange for rising demands on your time and energy combined with plummeting reimbursement.
But what's a responsible healer to do?
We know how frustrating it can be to walk the visionary healer's path, especially in the world of conventional medicine.
If this sounds like you, you are SO not alone. Most of the teachers at the Whole Health Medicine Institute felt exactly the same way at one point in their careers. That's why we've developed a 4 month training program just for health care providers like you to teach you what pioneering mind-body medicine health care providers like Bernie Siegel, Larry Dossey, Rachel Naomi Remen, and Lissa Rankin have learned, as well as what gifted teachers like life coach Martha Beck, and cell biologist Bruce Lipton have garnered from their risk-taking experiences.
We designed this unique 4 month training program to offer you:
You may have spent your whole life serving others at the expense of yourself, but now it is finally time to fill yourself first and fully step into your role as a healer so you can heal the world. This is YOUR time. The world needs you to bring your vision to life NOW.
Dr. Lissa Rankin's Whole Health Medicine Institute Health Care Provider Training will accept 120 special healers on a first-come, first-serve basis. (We have a long waiting list and expect this program to fill quickly, so please register soon if you hope to participate in the 2014 class.) If you are among the 120 healers, your commitment to showing up bodily, mentally, energetically, and spiritually are integral to your success. This program is not for someone who does things half-assed. You'll be asked to commit revolutionary acts of greatness – and that's not always easy.
This program is a commitment, on the part of you and your teachers. We are all entering into a sacred contract together that is capable of radically changing not just your practice, but your whole life.
But let's be clear. It's not going to be all roses and violets. We're inviting you to step up to the plate as one of the leaders that will help transform our health care system – and with things as challenging as they are in the health care system, the world needs you now. This program is dedicated to helping illuminate any limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors that might be holding you back from being the force of healing you know you're meant to be.
In order to facilitate big change in our health care system – and in the way you interact with clients – we're going to be asking big things of you – big, revolutionary things that may have felt too scary to embark upon alone or to achieve in the culture of our medical establishment. We'll be asking you to consider radical acts of courage that may leave you feeling tempted to run for the hills.
But we ask that you trust the process and know that this learning community will be here, holding sacred space for you, guiding your path, trusting your journey, and empowering you to muster up the moxie it will require to become who we know you can be. You will not be alone in your attempt to accomplish these big goals. This program is designed to facilitate these changes, not just in how you practice your healing art, but in how you show up in your life and in the world as a leader.
If you're not ready to commit revolutionary acts of greatness and put 1,000% of your energy and resources towards committing to your visionary healer dreams, opening your mind and your heart to new ways of thinking and being, mustering up the courage to take a stand within a system that strives to keep you in step with the status quo, being willing to break out of your comfort zone, and stepping fully into being the healer we KNOW you can become, you might as well stop reading now.
We mean – DONE - with being stealth health care revolutionaries. This program is for those who are ready to lead the way NOW.
This program is right for you if you know there's a divine spark within you – and you can see a similar spark within your clients, but you know how easily it gets clouded with fear, anxiety, and ultimately, illness. You know you have big work to do in this world, and you long to be part of the solution in health care, rather than grinding away, practicing in a way you just know doesn't optimize what you have to offer.
But you also know you haven't been able to achieve it alone. You need a team of like-minded healers to help you blaze new trails and link arms with you as you become the change you long to see in the world.
This program is for healers who are READY – really ready – to step fully into the life they're meant to create, in service to the people who are just waiting for you to show up and lead them to a better life.
This is the first year we're expanding the Whole Health Medicine Institute beyond physicians, but we wanted to share with you what our doctors are saying.
"The Whole Health Medicine Institute came into my life at just the right moment. I felt the familiar pressures in my medical practice to see more patients, meet budget, document every move, yet keep the integrity of comprehensive and compassionate care for my patients. It was exhausting. I asked to be shown what I was doing to deplete not only my energy, but also my soul. Lissa, the five-star faculty, and fifteen other doctors of the WHMI fulfilled that wish. They taught, encouraged, and embodied deep self-inquiry, self-reflection, and self-care. These often forgotten actions, I now know, are fundamental to becoming a fully actualized physician, leader and human being. No place have I found such an innovative and intuitively designed program. Nowhere have I found such kinship of like-minded souls. Each one of them benevolently challenged my limiting beliefs and allowed me to defy the rules with grace. I have since resigned from my current position as a hospital employed physician, ready to create my dream practice aligned with my ideals and live life in fullest expression. Truly, I am honored to be among this new generation of visionary physicians at cause to heal patients, communities, health care and humanity one person at a time. I am forever grateful to Lissa and the WHMI for breaking open my heart and mind to possibility." Kay Corpus, MD
"Through Whole Health Medicine Institute, Dr Lissa Rankin has connected brilliant coaches, powerful faculty and an amazing group of physicians destined to be thought leaders in the brave new paradigm of true medicine. I found the experience to be healing, challenging, intellectually stimulating, and profoundly inspiring. Our group developed strong bonds that form a synergistic support network that transcends our geography and clinical practices." Susan M. Mathison, MD
"The WHMI Visionary Physician program is unlike any other training I have ever been a part of. In addition to having the benefit of learning from Lissa Rankin MD, Martha Beck, PhD, Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, Christiane Northrup, MD and other luminaries in the field of progressive medicine, the personal growth that is offered in this program is unparalleled. I saw myself and my fellow physicians become leaders seemingly overnight. We are all transformed by this experience and looking forward to expanded careers in clinical and non-clinical medicine. The teachings in Mind Over Medicine, allowed me to take my practice to the next level and the strategic sessions opened my eyes to new ways to serve as a medical doctor in the broadest sense. I highly recommend this program to any physician who is ready to grow into their full potential, whether caring for individual patients or healing the world." Susan Ortiz, MD
When I took a leap of faith and left my stable, lucrative, and unfulfilling job as a full time physician in a busy managed care OB/GYN practice, I knew I was called to be a healer, but practicing medicine that way was sucking my soul dry. Seeing 40 clients a day – often double booked in 15 minute slots – just wasn't what I was called to do. At the end of every day, I felt depleted, not just because I was exhausted from working 36 hour shifts every fourth night and 72 hour call shifts every few weekends, but because I knew I had so much more to offer my clients. But I didn't know how to navigate the restrictions of the system in order to serve in the way my heart longed to serve.
On top of all that, by the time I was 33, I was twice-divorced, I was taking seven pharmaceuticals that weren't working for a host of chronic health conditions that plagued me, and I couldn't remember the last time I had really laughed or felt vital. I fantasized about how "normal" people lived and dreamed of one day being happy – maybe after I retired at 65.
Then my Perfect Storm hit. I gave birth to my daughter by C-section, my dog died, my brother wound up in the ICU in full blown liver failure as a side effect from the Zithromax he was taking for a sinus infection, and my beloved father (also a physician) died from metastatic melanoma.
Six months later, when I was just starting to breathe again, my husband (husband #3, I'm embarrassed to say), who was the stay home daddy for our newborn, cut two fingers off his hand with a table saw and couldn't care for our daughter.
All hell broke loose. I wound up asking myself, "If I knew I had only three months left to live – the way my father did – would I be doing what I'm doing now?" My answer was a resounding "Hell no!" And this realization changed everything.
When I asked myself the first thing I would change, I was horrified to realize the first thing I would do if I found out I was dying was to quit my job. But I couldn't do that! I had a newborn, an unemployed husband, two mortgages, and a boatload of debt. But when I searched my soul, I kept coming up with the same answer. I couldn't keep selling out my happiness or professional integrity in exchange for the security my job provided. So I took a huge leap of faith and quit my job.
Leaving my conventional medical practice was a huge risk. We had to sell our house, liquidate our retirement account, and move to the country in order to afford to pay the medical malpractice tail I had to cough up in order to buy my freedom. But what choice did I have? I couldn't keep selling out my health or happiness. And I just wasn't willing to keep slogging away for the next thirty years until one day, I could finally start living.
So I leaped. I spent two years painting, writing, and living off credit cards, during what I came to call my "waiting and becoming" years. It wasn't easy. I was terrified most of the time, and the people who loved me thought I had officially lost it. I had to protect myself with a mostly artificial bubble of supposed "fearlessness." But deep down, I was plagued with self-doubt, and the Gremlins of fear chattered away incessantly.
Yet, somehow, deep down, a seed of truth had taken root, and I knew I could never go back. The roots of my future had started digging into the soil, and I could only move forward, in spite of all evidence that the path I was blazing was more of a cautionary tale than an inspiration.
I almost bailed and ran back to the hospital, tail between my legs, dozens of times during this "waiting and becoming" time. I was falling deeper and deeper into debt, and the recruiters were calling incessantly like the devil, tempting me to betray my intuition and move to Podunk, Nowhere, in exchange for half a million dollars a year. But everything in my heart screamed, "No! There's something else you're supposed to do, if only you'll trust." I had to tap into something deep and quiet within, something essentially true, a voice I hadn't heard clearly for years, one I ultimately came to call my "Inner Pilot Light."
My Inner Pilot Light helped me keep repairing the chinks in my "fearless" bubble, and it encouraged me to trust that I was on the right path, even though I didn't know where I was going. During this scary, growth-filled, and wildly spiritual time, I rediscovered my calling and crystallized my vision – to help people heal, connect, and thrive, not just in their physical health, but in all aspects of their lives.
I also got clear on the message I wanted to help spread in the world. As a physician, I knew it wasn't enough to treat only the biochemical elements of a healthy lifestyle. Sure, diet, exercise, a good night's sleep, and taking your vitamins are key to a healthy life. But if you're in an abusive marriage, you hate your job, you feel spiritually disconnected, you feel creatively thwarted, you can't stand where you live, and you haven't found your supportive community, no drug, surgery, supplement, or diet plan is going to save you. I came to believe that the body is a mirror of how we live our lives. By digging deep into the medical literature for proof of what I was coming to believe, I found evidence that our bodies sometimes have the power to enable spontaneous remissions from seemingly "incurable" diseases when we change our beliefs and how we think about our health while doing whatever it takes to bring our bodies into harmony with what is true in our relationships, our professional lives, our creative lives, our sex lives, our environment, our financial lives, and more. This realization felt profoundly important to me – and I wanted the world to know it.
What ensued was a burning desire to create a revolution in health care, to change how we think about health and healing, and to start a grass roots campaign to shift the paradigm of modern medicine. I started spreading my ideas, first on my blog, then in my book Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself, my National Public Television special Heal Yourself: Mind Over Medicine, three widely viewed TEDx talks, and from stages across the country.
But here's the kicker. As I was spreading these ideas, I started getting hundreds of emails from clients across the globe asking where they can find doctors and other health care providers who embrace similar ideas about health. But I didn't know where to refer these clients. I know many wonderful functional medicine and integrative medicine doctors, but even still, these ways of practicing, while so much more holistic than managed care practice models, are still largely biochemically-based allopathic models. Even functional and integrative medicine philosophies, such as those taught in Dr. Andrew Weil's Integrative Medicine fellowship, often focus primarily on supplements, herbal treatments, natural medicine, and alternative medicine treatments such as acupuncture or homeopathy. I support any treatment modality a patient believes will help, so I'm a big fan of all these modalities. But I think even the most alternative treatments are insufficient if the health care provider isn't also addressing other mind-body-spirit factors that are just as important to your health – not just whether your hormones are in balance or whether you're taking the right supplements, but whether you're healthy in your relationships, your professional life, your spiritual life, and so forth.
I finally came to realize I needed to develop a training program to teach what I've learned so I could certify health care providers to practice Whole Health Medicine. At the institute, our team is currently training the second class of health care providers at the Whole Health Medicine Institute, but much to my surprise, when we were enrolling both classes of physicians, we got hundreds of emails from other health care providers, asking if they might participate as well. Because the physician training program is designed specifically for MD's and DO's only, we had to disappoint a lot of very interested healers. But your requests sparked a flame within us that gained fuel after the doctors in our programs expressed interest in collaborating with like-minded health care providers who are trained in a similar philosophy. And that's how the Whole Health Medicine Institute Health Care Provider Training was born.
We know it will take a village to heal health care and change how we all view health. We need your help in order to lead the troops in the mission to transform our system. You are the spiritual warriors who will bring the heart of medicine back to the center of our profession, and we are so grateful you are among us. Many healers feel unappreciated by the health care providers that rely on their collaboration, but that's not how we view things at the Whole Health Medicine Institute. We know that clients sit at the head of what we call "The Healing Round Table," and your presence at the table is every bit as vital as any physician. We value you, and we're so happy you're here.

"Dr. Lissa Rankin's role in reminding doctors of our ancient lineage as healers is heart-opening, life-changing, and what medicine is really all about. I applaud her and highly recommend her work. What a pleasure it is to see the next generation of physicians waking up to what I call real medicine – the kind that acknowledges our true power to heal and be well."
"Medical training needs to provide not just medical information about disease and drugs, but a true education about caring for people and what they are experiencing. It also needs to prepare doctors for what they will experience when truly caring for people and not just treating a disease. There is a big difference between detached concern and rational caring. Dr. Lissa Rankin's Whole Health Medicine Institute training program helps to provide doctors with what is needed in order to give up the delusion that we are medical deities so we can remember who we are as doctors."
"Lissa Rankin, MD clearly states what many health care providers (not to mention patients) already know: the way our society's physicians are trained, pressured, and overworked is in many ways inimical to the process of healing. In her life, her work, and her words, Dr. Rankin demonstrates a new way to combine the brilliance of modern science with the wisdom of the heart. Anyone who will ever need a doctor, and certainly anyone who will ever be a doctor, will be enriched and enlightened by her ideas. Just reading MIND OVER MEDICINE is a genuinely healing experience."
"Body and spirit are twins: God only knows which is which,' Swinburne wisely said more than a century ago. But for most of the twentieth century, the body has hogged the show. Now consciousness, mind, and spirit are back in center stage in medicine. In Mind Over Medicine, Dr. Lissa Rankin shows why. This is a compelling, clear, and reader-friendly vision of where medicine and healing are headed, written by an expert medical insider who's been there. Buy two copies—one for you and one for your doctor."
You want to know that your practice, your business – and your life – will be transformed by this program, right? So how will the Whole Health Medicine Institute Health Care Provider Training change everything for you?
The Whole Health Medicine Institute Health Care Provider Training will launch off with a 3 day, hands-on, jump-right-in workshop intended to introduce you to your teachers and healer colleagues while also reminding you that, in order to heal others, you must heal yourself first.
Kick off your weekend on Friday night with Lissa Rankin and Martha Beck welcoming you together as a tribe of revolutionaries. Expect to feel the bond of connection with your fellow healers by the end of your first night together. Friday night begins the process of healing YOU so you can heal others, not from a place of depletion, but from overflowing abundance of life force. Saturday morning, we'll spend the morning with our tribal elder and mind-body medicine pioneer Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen, who will initiate you into your journey and remind you who you are and why you were called to do what you do. Saturday afternoon, you'll go to "Magic Camp" with Martha, who will evoke in you your inner mystic and help you demonstrate to yourself that when you marry magic and medicine, miracles happen. Lissa and Anne Davin close out the weekend on Sunday by calling you into your higher purpose, invoking the leader within you, getting you ready for the four month journey that lies ahead.
In this workshop, you can expect to:

Module 1: July 22, Change the World of Healthcare, Guest Speaker Larry Dossey, MD
This "Core Curriculum" and "Business Development" module focuses on what we as a collective need to do in order to heal our broken health care system. What needs to change externally in the system? What needs to change internally within doctors and clients? What leadership role will you play in being part of the change?

Module 2: July 29, How To Use The Whole Health Cairn
The Whole Health Cairn, a wellness model that was introduced in Mind Over Medicine, serves as the foundation of the perspective you will be taught at the Institute.

You will also be expected to work through your own Whole Health Cairn with your "practice partner", and you will be leading your "practice partner" through the process as a way to practice the tools you will be taught. As such, this module falls under both "Core Curriculum" and "Heal the Healer."
Module 3: August 5, Communication Skills
This module is designed to expose you to a series of basic communication skills that you can use with clients. Based on the work of Carl Rogers, the father of humanistic psychology, 10 tools and a philosophy for how to "presence" oneself as a helper will be taught. This course is lead by Anne Davin PhD, past director of the Counseling Skills program at the University of California, Santa Barbara. This falls under the "Core Curriculum" pillar of the program.

Module 5: August 19, The Placebo & Nocebo Effect
This "Core Curriculum" module focuses on how a combination of positive belief and nurturing care can heal not just the mind, but also the physiology of the body. You will be taught the science proving that the placebo effect and it's evil twin, the nocebo effect, are not only real, but their effects are reproducible even without sugar pills. You will also be taught the scientific nechanism by which a combination of positive belief and nurturing care improves health outcomes, while negative belief and poor bedside manners negatively affect health outcomes. As preparation for this module, you will be given an unpublished chapter that was cut from Mind Over Medicine, and a discussion will ensue about the ethics of using placebos in clinical medicine.
Module 6: August 26, The Six Steps to Healing Yourself Part II: Steps 3-4

Module 7: September 2, The Body As A Compass, Guest Speaker Steve Sisgold

Steve's work also focuses on how our bodies store limiting, self-sabotaging beliefs, and how even if we change our minds, our bodies may betray us unless we release these beliefs from the body. Steve teaches practical tools you can use on yourself, which will also be helpful when you work with clients. You will have the opportunity to practice these tools with your practice partner.
Module 8: September 9, Outrageous Openness, Guest Speaker Tosha Silver
Guest teacher Tosha Silver, author of Outrageous Openness, will teach how Step 6 should really be Step 1. Her teaching focuses on the "how to" of surrender, so we can help our clients do everything within their power to achieve optimal health outcomes, but ultimately, we are not in control, and neither are our clients. This overtly spiritual module also offers practical advice on how to make an "offering" to the Universe to help bring your intentions into being in a way that honors your desire to live in alignment with your soul's values.
Module 9: September 16, The Six Steps To Healing Yourself: Steps 5-6
This "Core Curriculum" module focuses on Step 5 (Write Your Own Prescription) and Step 6 (Surrender attachment to outcomes) of the 6 Steps to Healing Yourself. You will be given tools to help facilitate these steps with your clients and will be given the opportunity to practice these tools with your "practice partner."

Module 10: September 23, You Are Not A Victim Of Your Genes, Guest Speaker Bruce Lipton, PhD
This "Core Curriculum" module focuses on dispelling myths about genetic determinism that you may have been taught during your medical education and proves to you that you and your clients are not victims of their genes. Bruce Lipton will be sharing the findings of his research, which were published in his bestselling book The Biology Of Belief.

This "Core Curriculum" module focuses on how to offer inspiration and guidance to patients in their process of living more powerfully and authentically, and being more actively creative on a daily basis.

You will learn how to let gladness expand into your heart and touch that place deep inside of you—your inner Wise Self—that already knows everything you'll ever need in this world is within you.
Module 12: October 7, The Fear Cure
Once you've worked through the 6 Steps To Healing Yourself with a client, you're likely to run into one big stumbling block- fear. Module 12 previews content from Lissa's next book The Fear Cure to help you and your clients overcome unnecessary fear, as well as learn how to differentiate healthy fear from unhealthy fear. You'll learn practical tools intended to help you and your clients make decisions from the soul's wisdom rather than the small self's fears in order to cultivate the kind of courage you'll need in order to live a soul-driven life.
Module 13: October 14, SURPRISE!
We had two celebrity doctors in mind to teach Module 13, but then we decided to surprise you. All Divinely-led programs need space for synchronicity and serendipity, so we're trusting that the perfect guest speaker will make him or herself known in order to knock your socks off on October 14.

Is ONLY Right For You If:
You do NOT need to already have a clear idea of HOW to achieve what you desire, either personally or professionally. You merely have to know – just know - that you're done settling for how most health care providers spend their careers and lives. You have to have a strong desire to change the rules, make a difference, and help people transform not just their health, but their lives. You have to be ready to play bigger than you ever have so far.
This program is for visionary health care providers who are tired of the status quo, are ready for change, are sick of playing small, and are 1,000% committed to bringing into the world what yearns to be born.
(Yes, we're talking about you!)
If You Choose To Become One Of The 120 Health Care Providers In Dr. Lissa Rankin's Whole Health Medicine Institute Physician Training:
The investment for this life-altering program is $3,497.
Payment Plan 1: $3,497 is due immediately upon acceptance.
Payment Plan 2 (Installment Plan): $1,347 non-refundable deposit immediately upon acceptance, then two additional monthly payments of $1,347.
Optional Badge of Completion: This separate fee of $149 is paid at the time of purchase if you so choose to complete the Badge.
Yes. We know you may have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars becoming a healer already. We also remember how scary it was to invest in a dream you can't guarantee will come to fruition. Most of your teachers at the Whole Health Medicine Institute took huge personal, professional, and financial risks to get where we are professionally. Most of us also invested hundreds of thousands of dollars building our visionary businesses.
We also know that sometimes The Universe tests us to see whether we're really, truly, 100% IN. If your Inner Pilot Light just knows this is the next step for you, taking a leap of faith like this can be your way of telling The Universe you'll do whatever it takes to realize your vision, even if it feels like a huge stretch.
Keep in mind that because of the nature of what you will learn in this program, you can expect a return on your investment that has the possibility not only to lead to revenue generation for your business, but also to teach you tools to continue generating revenue beyond when this program ends so that your visionary health care business becomes a sustainable source of revenue generation.
The Whole Health Medicine Institute Health Care Provider Training program is a FOUR MONTH commitment. If for any reason you choose not to continue – or you stop participating – you will continue to be liable for the fees of this program.
This kind of program is a powerful transformational process and at times, you may feel "up against a wall," as if your visionary dreams are not happening or something isn't working. This is often a perfect sign that you are releasing obstacles and overcoming limiting beliefs. Our request is that any and all concerns with regard to these kinds of feelings be addressed with your teachers so we can do our best to meet your needs. When brought to light, we can use these feelings as an opportunity to deal with any blocks that are coming to light so we can go deeper. Working together, we will make sure your needs are met.
At the Whole Health Medicine Institute, we are passionate about YOU, the well-being of YOUR CLIENTS, your RADICAL, VITAL, VISIONARY LIFE, and YOUR professional success – no matter what!
What does the wisdom of your intuition tell you? Is this Whole Health Medicine Institute Health Care Provider Training opportunity right for you, your body, your mind, your heart, your soul, your spirit, and your business?
Only you know the answer, but I can promise you this. No other program combines this kind of education from the pioneers in the fields of mind-body medicine into one comprehensive training program. There is also no other program that combines the life and professional experience of visionaries with the medical expertise of physicians, the knowledge of successful business men and women, and the guidance of experienced coaches who are ready to help you achieve REVOLUTIONARY VISIONARY SUCCESS as a healer, so you can skyrocket to the stratosphere, in your own unique way, in both your personal and professional life.
Close your eyes, take a breath, and tap into the wisdom of your wise self. Ask yourself what is best for you, but be aware of how your fears start butting in with lies like "You're not good enough," "You don't deserve this," "You can't afford it," "You don't have the time," "This won't work for you," "People will think you're crazy," "You're not ready for this yet," "You're not really a leader," and other evil nothings. This is simply The Gremlin's way of getting in your way and keeping you stuck, when the world is your oyster, we need you to step into your power, and this is the time.
Trust us, as visionaries, we know how scary choosing to do something like this can feel. It takes courage to GO FOR IT. We remember the quivering in our stomachs as we stood at the edge of that cliff and looked down into the abyss – then screaming "GERONIMO!" just as we discovered that not only were we not falling – we were FLYING!
We know it feels overwhelming to think that any of us could have the power to truly heal ourselves, much less to heal health care, when the system is so broken. But as Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
The world needs us to step up to the plate, and as Dr. Larry Dossey recently told Lissa, "The time is now."
If your inner knowing is whispering, "YES! THIS IS WHAT I NEED!" then the next step is easy.
These next 4 months have the power to change your life – and those of the clients you serve – forever, but only if you take the brave first step and request and complete your application today.
Is this right for you? Aren't you ready?
With love and faith in your journey,
Lissa Rankin, M.D.

Plastic trombone with special finish.
The advent of extrusion technologies and wild imaginations on the part of musical instrument builders has resulted in the availability of a generation of plastic construction instruments. The first such instrument to hit the market was a plastic trombone. This is the ATB100M Aere Plastic Trombone, a low-cost alternative to a brass trombone. This is the Custom Series, which features your choice of metallic finishes.
The most important criterion in selecting an instrument is sound quality, and each ATB100M Aere plastic trombone is precision-made to a detailed specification developed through extensive research. The result is a truly responsive instrument suitable for novice and pro players alike.
Made from lightweight super-resilient toughened ABS plastic, Aere instruments are easy to hold and easy to transport, and no more worries about dents and damage.
- Lightweight
- Great sound
- Metallic finishes
- No dents
Order today and build some trombone chops.

Hermon, Swartland
Once you've booked your accommodation in Hermon, explore our pages for info on attractions and what to do in Hermon.
Lying on the route between Wellington and Gouda, Hermon might be but a blip on the map but it is actually a little village that has been here since forever - families have lived here for generations. It is one of four towns that make up the Riebeek Valley now so popular with Capetonians.
Hermon lies just outside Riebeeck Kasteel, the town that has endeared itself as a weekend getaway, filled with foodie type venues and trendy delis and shops. The surrounds are a tapestry of vineyards, olive groves and fields of wheat, a number of the farms now offering luxury manor house type accommodation, and the town of Riebeek Kasteel and Riebeek West serving as major drawcards to those in search of lunch venues or a morning of sanctuary away from Cape Town.
Beautiful mountains, olives, good food and an excellent wine route combine to make the magic of the area easily capable of entertaining one for a weekend or more.
There are also local projects worth visiting like the Riebeek Kasteel Community Garden Project, where locals have their own allotment vegetable gardens, the Steel Band Project run by David Wickham, and the Community Theatre. Two weekend markets - the Riebeek Kasteel Village Market, and the Riebeek West Fresh Funky Market are welcome respites, and make time to hike up the Kasteelberg which give you some incredible views over the Swartland.

About Us
Founded in 1984, Merriconeag Waldorf School serves some 240 students in early childhood through high school. The school's main location is in Freeport, a town on the southern coast of Maine. Merriconeag's high school is a short distance away, in the town of New Gloucester. The region served by the school is known for its beautiful and varied natural environment and its rich cultural life.
As a Waldorf school, the curriculum is based on research into child development conducted by Austrian educator and philosopher, Rudolf Steiner (1861 – 1925). Fundamental to Waldorf education is the recognition that each human being is a unique individual who passes through distinct life stages and that it is the responsibility of education to address the intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual needs of each developmental stage.
A Waldorf student learns about the world through an experience of the hands and the heart, as well as the mind. Subjects are presented imaginatively to engage the wholehearted participation of the students and to cultivate a real inner enthusiasm for learning. The educational environment is designed with care and infused with beauty. To foster compassionate people who value learning for its own sake, Waldorf education deemphasizes grades and exams, assessing student progress through individualized written appraisals and frequent parent-teacher conferences.
While independent, Merriconeag is part of a worldwide Waldorf school movement that encompasses more than 1,000 schools and 1,600 early childhood programs on five continents. Merriconeag is a member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) and is also accredited by that organization.
The name "Merriconeag" (MER-e-con-EEG) comes from an Abenaki word for "a place of easy portage or passage." Freeport is located on Casco Bay, which has a Merriconeag Sound and a Merriconeag Neck, so the name has regional as well as poetic significance.
The school seeks to develop a diverse community and welcomes families of all ethnic, social, economic and religious backgrounds.
Mission Statement
The mission of Merriconeag Waldorf School is to awaken the highest potential
in every student by fostering clarity of thought, warmth of heart, and strength of
resolve to make a difference in the world.
Vision Statement
wonder, meaning, and compassion, so that they may freely meet their
destinies. Inspired by Rudolf Steiner's educational insights, we teach
according to a developmental curriculum that honors each student's
unfolding individuality. To this end, we strive to educate the whole human
being through a balance of will-strengthening, artistic, and intellectual
Our aim is to preserve in our students a spiritual openness that will
enable them to develop creative, independent thinking, an abiding love
of learning, and a deep sense of responsibility toward the world. In pursuit
of our mission, we are guided by the following intentions:
in the hope that Merriconeag will serve as a center of cultural renewal.
time, our stewardship will inspire others to live in harmony with the
increasingly worthy of its original Wabanaki meaning:
place of safe portage.

Chanelle Waters/Lucy Hale/18/OPEN
Power: Telepathy- Able to read the thoughts or communicate mentally with others, until they have learnt how to put up a shield.
Personality: It started with faint whispers of thoughts in the school hallways, and soon Chanelle could hear anyone's thoughts when she concentrated on them. Unlike most students in the school, Chanelle will only use her powers if it's absolutely needed because she thinks it's rude to peer into people's minds. She is a very prim and proper young lady who loves getting dressed up, but would never swear if her life depended on it.
