OUR PAST EVENTS

Earth Day Event April 2009
In celebration of Earth Day 2009, the Alliance cleaned several section of our community's Rails to Trails hiking paths, primarily in Manchester and Vernon, particularly the trail heads where people park and litter accumulates. We had a great day of camaraderie--getting to know each other better (dirty and tired)--as we came together as caregivers of the community we live and work in. Check out the photo gallery.

Public Wellness Clinic

THE ALLIANCE WILL BE SCHEDULING PUBLIC WELLNESS CLINICS IN THE FUTURE

As part of our community education effort, we will periodically schedule wellness clinics for the general public free of charge. Practitioners associated with the Alliance will offer their services as a means to:

	introduce individuals to alternative and complementary healing modalities;
	help people in their healing process;
	assist people in learning ways to move forward in their lives;
	educate individuals about the benefits of living in synchronicity with their environment.

We have a number of holistic practitioners that rotate these sessions on a monthly basis. A sampling of the modalities being offered include:

	Reiki
	Energy healing and balancing
	Vibrational healing with the Tibetan bowls
	Past life memory recall
	Thai Chi
	Meditation techniques

Focus Group

These clinics are held for an existing support group that would like to further explore methods of healing in a closed group session with their peers. The greatest value to this is being supported in a safe, caring environment where you can share and connect with people whom you already know.

We are looking for any groups that may benefit from this such as woman's shelters, survivor groups or veterans, etc.

If you know of any such groups please contact us or let the group know about us.

We welcome ideas for Community Projects
