Resource Guide and Directory

"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." John Donne (1572-1631)

As the nation addresses such epidemics as obesity, heart disease and diabetes, we all become aware of how these preventive diseases are affecting the workforce and future generations. We are coming to the realization that there are connections to everything and everyone that affects the health of many. “No man is an island” this means an “all hands on deck” approach. “Government must work with corporations, corporations must work with small business, small business must work with the workforce and all must combine to work for the health of the nation’s poor and underserved.

Our resource guide not only addresses the health of the nation through higher collaborations with public and private health entities, this guide will act as a thread that weaves together holistic, integrative medicine along with public health services, insurance companies and wellness practitioners from all walks of Life. We will present our cultural/ethnic heritage communities through their food, spiritual worship and entertainment; all to demonstrate the power of knowledge of self and others and we will show how changing the dynamics of economics through green job creation and special attention paid to the political climate globally will change the way we eat, drink and interact as human beings.

“Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”… is an oft quoted line in our constitution that bears repeating, time and time again while we remember what made this country a haven for the “tired and poor huddled masses yearning to breathe free…”

Join us as we reveal the avenues to prosperity and open a fascinating world of fitness, spiritual knowledge of diverse cultures and practical applications for economic development through healthier lifestyles.

This guide is a history book that will chronicle the new movement of body, mind and spirit for those generations yet to be born. Your presence within its pages will be that that shows the nation and the world your company, services or organization understands “for whom the bell tolls…” May the Creator bless you all with prosperity, long life and health?
