You were either born brainy or perhaps just a dim light but is that that for the rest of your life? Wrong answer! From the field of neuroplasticity, a fascinating area of neurobiology, it is known that synapses, nerve cells, even whole brain areas can continuously change their function and their anatomy depending on how they are used throughout life. With visionary learning and thinking strategies like Image Streaming everyone can become an Einstein. Advance into new spheres in this three-part workshop!

According to an Asian proverb the gut is the gateway to life.

We live in a world of unfolding epidemics of physical and mental illness. Autism, ADHD/ADD and other learning disabilities, schizophrenia, depression, dyslexia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other mental illness, autoimmune problems, allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome and many other physical conditions are becoming more and more common. Why is this happening? Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride will be talking about the root cause of all these epidemics: GAP Syndrome or GAPS, which stands for Gut And Psychology / Gut And Physiology Syndrome. She will explain in her lecture what GAPS is and how to treat it with a sound nutritional protocol, based on common sense and dietary traditions, used by people all over the world for millennia.

Worldwide, every year more than 17 million people die from cardiovascular diseases.

Many risk factors have been identified, which are thought to contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. However, what people hear the most about are cholesterol and dietary fats. We have been waging a war on cholesterol and fats for the last 40 – 50 years. Yet, people in the Western world are having just as many heart attacks and strokes as before, despite following “heart – healthy” diets. So, are we doing something wrong? Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride will be talking about what heart disease really is, what causes it, how it develops and what nutrition has to do with it.

The perfect symmetry of the honeycomb is no accident.

Pesticides, the decrease of biodiversity, parasites and so on are still named as the reasons for the worldwide disappearance of the bees while the disastrous effects of microwaves on the bees are widely ignored. Biologist Daniel Favre explains from his own research results why the bees are disturbed by mobile communication. He will also show that these highly intelligent and fascinating animals construct their bee hive following explicit mathematical rules and not randomly – and that a cosmic law can be recognised in these building plans.

In 2014 the pharmaceutical industry made 17.8 billion dollars profit worldwide through sales of cholesterol reducers.

For decades the industry, media and medical fraternity have presented cholesterol as the single cause for arteriosclerosis and thus as the main reason for cardiovascular diseases – in the Western world the number one cause of death. While huge profits are harvested with pharmaceutical cholesterol reducers the population is neither informed about the dangerous side effects of these medications nor about the indispensable role of the cholesterol for health. In addition, science still hasn’t come up with proof of the effectiveness of the chemical cholesterol reducers. It is about time to set the facts straight. We will show you how you can balance your cholesterol level with natural and wholesome foods yourself – and how in this way you can practice all-round-prevention not only for your heart but for the whole body!

Cells must be able to communicate.

Glyconutrients are sugars, healthy ones! Even more: Glyconutrients are absolutely essential for every cell in our organism. Without these there would be no accurate communication and no regulated biochemical reactions between the body’s cells. Only when communication at the cellular level functions unobstructed is our body capable of delivering its self-healing powers and sustaining its own health.

“Without music, life would be a mistake.” – F.W. Nietzsche

Music comforts, heals, energises, calms, stimulates. But just as music can raise us up, it can also debase, even destroy us. Why does music affect us in such a powerful way – positively or negatively? What do loss of moral values and crime have to do with music? Can music manipulate? And what is meant by “violent music”? Do we have to let this constant acoustic irradiation in public spaces be imposed on us and what is the effect on us?
