Strengthening Health Institute: Promoting Health and Well Being Through Macrobiotics

Educational programs that lead individuals to a healthy lifestyle creating lasting health

MACROBIOTICS FOR HEALTH

Macrobiotics is not a diet. Macrobiotics is an orderly approach to diet and lifestyle. Through principles of harmony, balance and change we continually learn how to make healthier choices in our eating habits, diet, activity and lifestyle. We plan our meals around grains, vegetables, soups and a variety of other plant based foods.

Macrobiotics is also based on the understanding that spiritual health, the development of endless appreciation for all of life, leads to mental, emotional and physical health. The healthy choices we each make on a daily basis also benefit society and the environment.

The Strengthening Health Institute (SHI) was founded in 1997, by Denny Waxman, to teach others how to create lasting health and how to discover and live fully their life's dream. In 2002, SHI was incorporated as a not-for-profit school with a mission to:

•	Empower people to make their own wise choices for life and health.

•	Create the model for macrobiotic education for the present and future and to move macrobiotics into the mainstream.

•	Demystify and simplify macrobiotics to allow access to a much larger number of people

From our recent Advanced Training Seminar:
"Wow!! What a wonderful weekend the recent ATS was! It was so much fun seeing familiar faces I hadn't seen in years and the food as always was fantastic! Even after all these years, there's always more to learn about cooking....the hands on cooking classes helped me refine my technique especially with regard to pressed salad. I'm now using less salt and cutting the vegetables even finer for a sweeter taste. I've passed these tips onto my own cooking classes. The w/e really helped lighten up my cooking! Denny's review of auras as well as light/dark diagnosis was fascinating and Patrick's passion for shiatsu was contagious and helpful!" --Rosemary Traille--Natural Health Counselor and Cooking Instructor--Sewickley, PA

Denny Waxman was one of my early students and is outstanding in his knowledge and dedication to macrobiotics. I am proud to have him as one of my associates and regard him one of the leading educators and an outstanding teacher of the macrobiotic lifestyle.

The Strengthening Health Institute's newly re-designed Comprehensive Certificate Program is a streamlined one year program. You will learn more through doing and interacting with fellow students. It is fashioned after the old macrobiotic study house, where people lived, ate, studied, discussed and played together.

The Comprehensive Certificate Program meets monthly and concludes in November. At each meeting during the year, the following five key areas will be covered:

• Macrobiotic Philosophy and Theory
• Shiatsu Massage and Do-In Self Exercise
• Oriental Diagnosis
• Cooking
• Macrobiotic Health Care for Oneself and Others
