From the movie's website at http://transitionculture.org/in-transition/ :

Maintaining Your Health in an Energy-Uncertain Future
Part 2 of a 3-Part Series: Creating Your Own Health Everyday
Wednesday, October 7 2009 - 7pm
Unitarian Chapel - 246 S. Church St., Grass Valley
Suggested donation: $3 - $5
Join us for Part 2 of a 3-part presentation on how to create and maintain vibrant health. Tonight, learn how you can safeguard your health by creating a daily lifestyle that is mentally and emotionally balanced.
You may wonder why APPLE is focusing on health care issues. Here's the short version: A new health care paradigm that integrates ancient wisdom and modern allopathic medicine has been slowly emerging, and it can sink deeper roots now — a time when the need to take responsibility for our health is ever more important. Global economic uncertainty and depletion of oil and other resources may eventually affect all aspects of the current health care system. So, the more we know about our physical, mental, and emotional health, the more options we'll have to take care of ourselves and our families in the event of changes in our current access to medical care.
In tonight's program, we'll focus on how our daily habits, thoughts, and feelings influence our health for better and for worse. This idea is now widely accepted in many medical, philosophical, and religious systems. Two local health experts, one a practicing physician and the other a practitioner of Ayurvedic medicine, will share and compare their views.
