Meir Schneider is internationally acclaimed as a pioneer in the field of self-healing techniques. In the words of one doctor: "Meir Schneider offers remarkable techniques that empower you to take charge of your own health and unlock the body's ability to heal itself. Through his innovative therapeutic movements and exercise, he has helped thousands of individuals throughout the world facilitate their own self-healing. I have personally seen functional improvement in a number of patients where the medical community had literally told them 'there was nothing further that could be done.' Meir Schneider is on the cutting edge of improving the quality of our heath and well-being." Learn from the best. First, enjoy a therapeutic vegan dinner planned by a certified Nutrition Consultant, Patricia Allen Koot, NE, NC.

2015 Conscious Eating Conference
United Poultry Concerns' Fourth Annual Conference
SATURDAY APRIL 4TH, 8 AM-5 PM
David Brower Center 2150 Allston Way, Berkeley
Conference Hosts: United Poultry Concerns, Animal Place,
Berkeley Organization for Animal Advocacy
"Conference Synopsis: United Poultry Concerns' Conscious Eating Conference brings expert speakers to Berkeley, California to share their ideas about the best food choices we can make for the planet, ourselves, and other animals. We will explore the ethics of eating and the effect that each food choice has, and why it matters.
Our conference features a fearless investigator who went undercover to document the inside story of animal farming. We will reveal little known facts about the fishing industry, including factory-farm fishing and how the oceans are being affected, and we will hear startling new information about the consciousness and emotional lives of fish. We will examine controversial strategies for farmed animal advocacy - especially the arguments raging over "single-issue" campaigns and confrontational activism in restaurants and supermarkets. Along with our speakers, this year's conference highlights an interactive discussion with the audience on how to heighten our message with the most effective voices and actions. You don't want to miss this exciting day of information exchange and advocacy support!"-from my email
