Thriving Through Cancer

Cancer treatments often wreak havoc on the body
BUT THEY DON’T HAVE TO!

You or someone you love just received the diagnosis: cancer.

You sit, stunned, trying to absorb all the medical jargon and “what ifs” being thrown at you. Chemo. Radiation. Surgery. Ports. Infusions. These words rattle around your brain, seeking purchase. There’s no doubt about it: you’re in a battle for your life. Your medical team focuses on eliminating your cancer. You wonder, though, what you can do.

In this program,  Thriving Through Cancer: A Whole-istic Approach for Your Journey, you’ll see that you can, in fact, do a lot to improve your health through this process. From what you consume—visually, physically, and emotionally—to the words you choose, you’re in the driver’s seat. This event will offer clear direction, practical tips, and unerring support so that when you ring that bell signifying the end of treatment, you’ll really feel victorious!

Join us and our instructor, Kelly Lutman, in the Light System Room for this amazingly informative event. Snacks available after. There is a minimum 24-hour cancellation policy. Cost: $40 Pre-paid ($115 Value).

Kelly Lutman Biography:  I’ve been practicing as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach for 13 years and have incorporated Applied Functional Medicine for the past 9 years. What drew me to Functional Medicine was the focus on seeking out the root cause of a person’s symptoms and challenges. Traditional medicine responds to symptoms with medications which usually shut down the physiology causing the symptom, but don’t address the root problem.

From the start, what cemented my interest in nutrition was seeing its effect in my own family. Our son’s ADHD diagnosis lead me to research and find a way to heal him naturally … and we did, by carefully and mindfully adjusting his diet and the diet of our whole family. All we did was change his food and the difference in his behavior was amazing!

This was the beginning of a journey dedicated to helping others find the healthiest path to wholeness. Whether they are finally trying to care for themselves with wiser choices, or know that something is wrong and have not felt seen or heard by mainstream providers, or they are struggling with a serious health challenge like cancer, I meet them where they are and provide guidance for them as an individual.

 LifeLine Healing Circle

Margie Kalaluhi, of Heart Centered Wellness, a Certified LifeLine Practitioner since 2007, will facilitate a Healing Circle featuring the LifeLine Technique. Margie was one of the first LifeLine Ambassadors and is certified to teach the LifeLine Ignite Program. This technique was developed by Dr. Darren Weissman, author of “The Power of Infinite Love and Gratitude.” It incorporates several different healing modalities into one easily understood and gently flowing process which allows a connection between the conscious and subconscious minds. Physical symptoms are the body’s way of letting us know there is an imbalance or a blockage of Emotions. The LifeLine Technique uses the Power of Infinite Love and Gratitude to harmonize and release blockages, which then facilitates the healing process. It helps you live your life with passion, purpose and meaning. It can help you change how you approach your personal, professional, and family lives. And you can learn to achieve authenticity and integrity with all your relationships in your life, beginning with yourself. Pain, fear, and stress are not your problem. Rather, they can be used as a portal to bring you into the greatest version of yourself: your mind, body, relationships, and your future. This technique will help you learn to listen to your heart, which is our greatest teacher. Margie will be doing a LifeLine Healing Circle on the group, which will feel like she is only working on you. She will also speak on the Five Acts of Self Love, which includes Water, Food, Rest, Exercise and Owning Your Own Power.

When Regulation Changes Everything: An Introduction to ILF Neurofeedback

Infra-Low Frequency (ILF) Neurofeedback is a cutting-edge, neuroscience-based approach that works directly with the brain’s foundational regulation systems. Rather than training thoughts or behaviors, ILF neurofeedback supports the brain at extremely slow frequencies—where core issues such as emotional regulation, stress tolerance, sleep, trauma response, and cognitive clarity are organized.

This 90-minute talk will explore how ILF neurofeedback helps stabilize the nervous system, why it can be effective when talk therapy alone isn’t enough, and how it is being used to support conditions such as anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, brain fog, and mood instability. Designed for clinicians, wellness professionals, and curious learners, this presentation bridges neuroscience, clinical application, and real-world outcomes—offering a clear understanding of why regulation changes everything.

Jessica Gandolfo, LPC-S is a licensed professional counselor and trauma specialist based in Covington, Louisiana, with over two decades of clinical experience helping adults navigate life transitions, anxiety, and the lasting effects of trauma and PTSD. She integrates evidence-based therapies like EMDR and neurofeedback with a relational, strengths-centered approach designed to support deep and lasting change.

Functional Medicine Worksop

How Gut Health Impacts Your Mind and Body

Your gut isn’t just about digestion — it’s deeply connected to your brain, your nervous system, your immune system, and your overall wellbeing. The exciting part? You have the power to heal and restore it through simple, everyday choices.

Inside your gut live trillions of tiny microorganisms — your gut microbiome. These microbes play a vital role in digestion, immunity, and overall health. They even produce chemicals that influence brain function, mood, and behavior. When your gut is balanced, you feel clearer, lighter, and more energized. But when it’s out of balance, it can show up not only as bloating, gas, or indigestion — but also as brain fog, fatigue, mood changes, achy joints, and poor sleep.

Join us to learn how a healthy gut can improve digestion and brain function, uplift your mood, strengthen immunity, and help you feel more vibrant. 

At this workshop, you’ll gain tools to:

Explore the Gut–Brain Connection
Learn how your gut and brain influence each other — and how this affects your mental and physical wellbeing.

Use Food as Medicine
Which foods nourish a healthy gut + sample delicious options that reduce inflammation, boost good bacteria, and increase energy.

Manage Stress for Better Digestion
How stress impacts the gut (and vice versa) — plus simple tools to calm both belly and mind.

Get to the Root of Digestive Issues
Understand what really drives problems like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or IBS — and explore how to truly heal, not just manage symptoms.

Build Everyday Gut-Healthy Habits
Practical strategies you can start right away to support digestion, restore balance, and boost energy.

Shannon Vinson is a Certified Nurse Practitioner who brings nearly 20 years of conventional medicine experience together with the science of functional medicine to deeply explore the root causes and complexities of illness and imbalances in the body.

The Art of Sleep 2-Hour Workshop: Finding Rest in a Restless World

This nurturing, 2-hour, evening workshop is designed to help you reconnect with the healing power of sleep. Led by Bonnie Poirier, we’ll explore:

• The nature and necessity of sleep
• Common causes of insomnia
• Gentle tools and techniques to help you unwind
• Soothing meditations and calming breathwork
• Reflective journaling prompts
• The use of essential oils and herbal teas
• Creating a peaceful nighttime routine

This workshop offers a sacred space to rest, reflect, and renew. Whether sleep has long eluded you or you simply wish to deepen your rest, this gentle overnight experience is for you.

Bonnie Poirier is an ordained minister with over 30 years of experience in pastoral care and spiritual support. She was ordained in June 1994 through the Congregational Church of Practical Theology and earned her Master’s degree in Pastoral Care in January 1995. Bonnie was also classically trained in clinical hypnotherapy, completing her studies at St. John’s University in December 1994.

Her passion for addressing sleep deprivation began from personal experience with chronic insomnia. But it was the tragic loss of three lives in a car accident—caused by sleep-deprived driving—that stirred her heart into deeper study and advocacy. That moment became a turning point not only in her own life but in her community’s awareness of sleep and its impact on safety and wellness.

Since then, Bonnie has dedicated herself to learning about the science of sleep, the emotional and physical toll of poor rest, and the healing that becomes possible when we honor our need for true, restorative sleep. In this workshop, she blends her years of compassionate ministry with evidence-based tools and spiritual insight to help others rediscover the peace and power of rest.
