Hello Reader,
For all you spontaneous, last-minute folks, now is the time! It’s your last chance to register for our Keeping Your Brain Brilliant Retreat. We still have three spots left, and we would love to have you join us. To help you make a good decision for yourself and your time, you can check out the finalized agenda for the weekend. It is pretty impressive!
I know some of you are familiar with Charis and know what an excellent teacher she is. Now is your big chance to spend the weekend chatting, asking her questions, eating meals together, and enjoying this intimate gathering.
If you haven’t met her yet, you are in for a treat! She is brilliant, fun, and has a great knack for taking scientific information and making it easy to understand. But she doesn’t stop there. She suggests practical activities and lifestyle choices that we can all do to help keep our brains happy!!
Charis arrives here tomorrow from Pennsylvania, and we will be preparing for a retreat that is relaxing, nourishing, valuable, and informative. There will be lots of sound information shared and things you can start doing right away to improve your health and the health of your loved ones.
