    2 pm–3pm Plant Wisdom holds the Key to Radiant Vitality at Any Age,  Maryann Hesse, Meeting Room #2

      
    Imagine plants growing in pristine virgin soil deep in the heart of the
    Rainforest. Plants store information within them just as humans do. Imagine
    the vast amount of information these whole wild botanicals contain. Theirs is
    a message of ecological harmony and balance going back for generations.

    Scientists now confirm that new discoveries in Rainforest plants hold the keys
    to reversing degenerative disease and accelerating health and vitality for us
    and future generations.

    Come and learn some of the secrets the medicine men and women have known for
    centuries that make it possible to experience a high quality of lifelong,
    radiant vitality. This program will include a tasting of some delicious
    “guilt free” healthy chocolate, sustainably harvested and obtained in a
    ‘more than fair trade’ way.
