Big Island’s South Kona Dragonfly Ranch: HEALING ARTS CENTER “where Aloha abounds” is hosting: a four day yoga retreat in July—taught by Kauai’s Diane Cline (yogainspirations.com ) with another yoga week in August taught by Toshi Longhofer; a week of cleansing in September with Angela Leslee (phvibranthealthhawaii.com ); a 6 day lightweaving attunement in October with Kenji Kumara ( www.quantumlightweaving.com ); and a week long Huna Course in November with English author/professor of Huna, Dr. Rima Morrell (www.hunalight.com ).

Each training will include embracing a number of “Healthy Pleasures”: basking in Hawaii’s sunshine; communing with friendly wild dolphins; being nurtured with eco-spa pamperings (lomilomi massage, far infrared sauna, amethyst biomatt); walking a colorful labyrinth; and savoring tasty organic food.

Soul proprietor since 1974, Barbara Moore welcomes you to have fun while experiencing these trainings and enjoying luxuriously rustic accommodations in Kona’s unique upscale “treehouse” --voted #1 B&B in West Hawaii.

Dr. Shanhong Lu, MD, PhD, California board certified medical doctor, will be presenting a free public seminar at 3pm on Sat. June 20 at Dragonfly Ranch: Healing Arts Center in South Kona near the ancient Hawaiian refuge, the Pu’uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park. The general public is welcome to attend.

Dr. Lu’s talk, The Future of Medicine is Integrative, and Preventive Medicine, is about the connections between our genes, our hormones, the environmental electro and chemical pollutions, chronic daily stress, poor sleep, and the ever-climbing epidemic of obesity and premature aging. For those interested in learning, Dr. Lu will offer some natural solutions she has found to be most effective in her practice. “Medical and scientific knowledge doubles every 3.5 years or less,” says Dr. Lu. “Open your minds, because they are like parachutes…they only function when open!”.

As a child, Dr. Lu was raised with two traditions of medicine. From the Eastern tradition, her grandmother was a midwife who practiced Chinese medicine and believed strongly in nature’s ability to heal. Her mother, on the other hand, is an excellent cardiologist and clinical professor, firmly rooted in the science and rescuing power of Western medicine. Dr. Lu has seen the beauty and power in both traditions, and has made an art of integrating the wisdom of the East with the science of the West in her 11 years of practice in Mt. Shasta, California.

After 14 years of study and research with an emphasis on internal medicine, Dr. Lu became interested in the science of anti-aging and regenerative medicine. It now gives her great joy to assist people improving the quality of their lives. “I love to see people getting better sleep, feeling healthier and more energetic and picking up more projects and living a good life.”

Dr. Lu realizes that addressing the potential causes of diseases related to aging, stress, and toxin overload is much more effective and rewarding than treating people “as a pile of lab numbers” and symptoms. “I have a passion in prevention and education”, Dr. Lu says, “I also believe everyone possesses the right to pursue happiness, longevity, and enjoy the sense of wellbeing at any age”.

Owner of the Dragonfly Ranch, Barbara Moore, says, “The public is cordially invited to learn from Dr. Lu. We are fortunate to have such a skilled educator helping us learn how to best take charge of our health to lengthen and improve our lives”. Moore welcomes residents and tourists alike to “come early or stay late” to view her award winning facilities. Voted #1 B&B in West Hawaii, Moore describes her “expansion mansion” as a luxuriously rustic five bedroom upscale “treehouse” with eco-spa pamperings that include a far infrared sauna, organic garden, and colorful labyrinth--”the perfect place for Dr. Lu’s talk about maintaining wellness.” The Dragonfly Ranch is located 1 1/2 miles down Hwy 160, known as the City of Refuge Road.
