Nicole James, CFMP, CNC and wellness therapist at Sturgeon Bay’s Center for Optimal Health will present a seminar at Greens N Grains on Thursday, April 17 that will discuss the most effective ways to detox and cleanse your body.

Whole-body cleansing, colon cleansing, liver cleansing, diet cleansing, stress cleansing… choosing from a multitude of possibilities is challenging. Nicole will show you how to select the right cleanse for you based on your symptoms, habits and the foods you eat.

She will explain how a safe, natural detox uses herbs and other foods to enhance your body’s built-in purification system without depleting the beneficial nutrients that might leave you feeling tired or fatigued. Then, she will provide a collection of lifestyle techniques to keep your detox engine purring.

“Detoxifying your body is the safe way to lose weight and feel great!” says Nicole James. “Come to Greens N Grains at 1 pm on Thursday to learn more about the importance of detox.”

Join Door County’s organic gardening guru, Linda Cockburn for an informative class on planting and seed collecting.

Linda will explain how to start your seed flats, how to maintain them and how to eventually transplant them into your own organic garden. Join Mother Nature as you watch life burst out of the soil! Then, reap the benefits of healthy, pure, natural food that you grew yourself.

Linda will cover all of the gardening options such as straw bale gardening, container gardens and how, when and why you might want to use raised garden beds. Understanding the soil, plant needs and learning how to deal with any little pests from insects to furred or feather friends that crop up, will also be touched upon. Then, Linda will explain how to collect and preserve your own heritage seeds for next year and how best to store your harvest. She will also have earth worm castings (soil) and organic seeds if you want to purchase a “starter kit.”

Growing organic produce for 25 years, Linda Cockburn has had her share of ups and downs, learning from each and every turn in the path. Join her for Lunch and a Lesson at Greens and Grains from 11 am to 1 pm on Saturday, April 5.

The diet industry is a multi-billion dollar operation in America.

Two-thirds of women and one-third of men are on some sort of diet. But the worst part is that 85% of those people who begin with the best of intentions and even have some success at losing weight, only find themselves slipping back over time, gaining the weight back and then some.

Why are Americans really good at losing weight but terrible at keeping it off? Because diets simply don’t work. On Thursday, March 13 at 1 pm, Nicole Dersé, CNC invites you to learn the secrets of successful weight loss, discover the key fat-burning foods and learn how to detoxify your body for increased metabolism and optimal health in her complimentary presentation.

Each month Nicole visits Greens N Grains in Egg Harbor to share valuable, healthy nutrition-based approaches to achieving your potential in well being.

The journey to good health can sometimes feel too overwhelming to start. As a complement to Nicole’s afternoon workshop, Greens N Grains Dinner and a Movie will present a documentary film entitled, Food Matters on Thursday evening. It is both entertaining and a solution-oriented springboard for taking your first step toward feeling good. Food Matters does not involve hours of lecturing scientists or extremist New Age diet ideas. It’s just eighty minutes of powerful common-sense, practical solutions to our current health crisis.

“It is impossible to pretend that our current healthcare problems don’t exist,” says Kathy Navis, owner of Greens N Grains and collaborator and Nicole Dersé. “What we have come to realize is that we may never be able to completely change the way people eat, but we can do our very best to help people make choices that serve their bodies and our planet.”

In what promises to be the most contentious idea put forward, filmmakers James Colqhuoun and Laurentine ten Bosch present a number of world leaders in nutrition and natural healing who claim that not only are we harming our bodies with improper nutrition, but with the right kind of foods, supplements and detoxification we can treat chronic illnesses as fatal as terminally diagnosed cancer.

Food Matters delivers the message that only you are capable of transcending the madness of our current ‘sickcare industry’ to reclaim the vibrant health that is rightfully yours.

Over the past 15 years, numerous colonies of bees have been decimated throughout the world, but the causes of this disaster remain unknown.

Markus Imhoof

Honey bees have become chain workers, a machine expected to function upon the simple push of a button. In the struggle between bees and the neo-liberal market economy, bee brokers push beekeepers, who respond by pushing bees, to further increase their performance.

“In that sense, and assuming the risk of sounding presumptuous,” says film director Markus Imhoof, “I could almost say that More Than Honey is a bit like Chaplin’s Modern Times – as told by bees.”

His film examines the crisis at hand by gathering evidence, interviewing and reporting on the beekeepers and their daily work. You can see this important documentary film in Egg Harbor on Thursday, February 27 at Greens N Grains Deli’s next Dinner and a Movie screening.

Learn how to identify what it is that triggers chronic arthritis pain, the main cause of disability among people over fifty-five years of age at the next Greens N Grains seminar presented as a public service by Nicole Dersé, CNC Functional Medicine Clinician & Certified Nutritionist.

The word arthritis comes from the Greek arthron meaning “joint” and the Latin itis meaning “inflammation.” One of the most common chronic health problems in the nation, arthritis is second only to heart disease as a cause of work disability. There are certain foods that irritate the immune system. Learning to avoid these inflammatory foods will reduce arthritis pain. Your diet, lifestyle and  some medications may be contributing to your pain.

On Thursday, January 23 at 1 pm, Nicole Dersé will lead a discussion of the many ways to reduce arthritis pain at Greens N Grains in Egg Harbor. She will also speak about supplements, herbs and botanicals that may be used to reduce inflammation and start rebuilding the joints. You will learn about available nutritional testing methods that assess joint health in order to discover the underlying causes of inflammation and pain.

Greens N Grains Natural Food Store presents free seminars with Nicole Dersé each month to promote a greater understanding of the effects of nutrition on health and wellness. They are open daily in the winter months from 10 am – 5 pm, located in downtown Egg Harbor at 7821 Hwy 42.

When Billy Broke His Head …and Other Tales of Wonder is an entertaining, irreverent road movie about disability, civil rights, and the search for intelligent life after brain damage.

“This ain’t exactly your inspirational cripple story.”  – Billy Golfus

Winner of the Sundance Film Festival’s Freedom of Expression Award in 1995, it has been out of print and unavailable for several years. Recently, Kartemquin Films has brought it back to distribution and the Green Door Film Society at Greens N Grains acquired a copy for screening on Thursday, January 23.

“This ain’t your basic inspirational cripple story,” says Billy Golfus, narrator and writer of this pithy and moving documentary.

Following a traffic-accident, award-winning radio host and entertainer Billy Golfus woke from a coma to find himself hospitalized with a massive head-injury, a hemiplegic and totally dependent on others for his survival. The film that resulted is a first-person narrative that tells the story of his personal struggle to make a new life for himself as he discovers pervasive discrimination and the bureaucracy of “helping systems.”

Accompanied by filmmaker David E. Simpson, Billy Golfus travels the USA encountering and engaging with disabled people of all stripes and witnessing the strength and anger that has forged a civil rights movement for disabled Americans. Laced with humor and biting wit, When Billy Broke His Head… is a widely acclaimed, groundbreaking, underground classic, documentary film about our nation’s disability culture – a no holds barred, first-person accounting that refuses to tell the “inspirational” stories we have come to expect from films about the 43 million people with disabilities living in America.

When Billy Broke His Head… And other Tales of Wonder, was funded by the Independent Television Service (ITVS) with funds provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The Green Door Film Society thanks Chicago’s Kartemquin Films for permitting us to screen this film for a small audience of film lovers in Door County.

A keystone species is one which is central to the functioning of the ecosystem as a whole.

They are the ones that many other animals simply cannot do without. The entire ecosystem would unravel without them. In British Colombia, the Pacific Salmon are that keystone species. But, the number of these fish are steadily decreasing, dying mysteriously before they get a chance to lay their eggs… This feature-length documentary asks, why?

Since 2009, corporate fish farms, placed along the wild salmon runways have been infecting the keystone species with ISA virus, a disease that’s creating ecological havoc. And the Canadian government is failing to act.

It gets worse here in the USA…

Any day now, the first genetically modified animal ever to enter our food supply, AquaBounty salmon, could be approved by the Food and Drug Administration. This fish hasn’t been proven safe for humans. But the FDA may approve it based on a limited, flawed, and inadequate study — despite the fact that the same study identified elevated allergy-causing potential, and elevated levels of the IGF-1 growth hormone, which is linked to colon, prostate and breast cancers.

That’s why we’re encouraging readers to join Senator Jeff Merkley in a last-ditch effort to demand the FDA reject approval of GMO salmon.

AquaBounty’s frankenfish is an Atlantic salmon, spliced with genes from an eel pout and growth hormone from a Chinook salmon. The result is a salmon that produces growth hormone year-round and grows twice as fast.

Were GMO salmon to escape its farms into the wild, the fish would pose a serious risk to wild salmon populations. The GMO salmon consume five times more food than wild salmon, and are more aggressive. Introducing these traits into the wild population would be serious – and irreversible.

Separate from any risks, the GMO salmon are less healthy to eat – producing less of the beneficial omega-3 fatty acids than non-GMO salmon – and a less efficient food source – requiring 1.5 to 8 kilograms of wild fish to produce one kilogram of farmed salmon.

Worse still, without GMO labeling, these frankenfish would be totally unlabeled in stores, and indistinguishable from other farmed salmon, so consumers will have no way of making an informed choice.

Tell the FDA: Don’t approve GMO salmon.

When bankrupt GM shuts down the community’s century-old plant, forcing workers to leave their families in search of decent jobs, local business leaders seize the moment to woo new companies with the promise of lower wages, reduced regulation and tax breaks.

“As Goes Janesville, so goes the rest of the Nation,” is the premise upon which documentary filmmaker Brad Lichtenstein built his award-winning film. He follows the establishment of a powerful alliance that community business leaders make with newly-elected Republican governor Scott Walker that begins with an “open for business” manifesto but soon morphs into a “divide and conquer,” anti-union crusade.  The results rip apart the state, triggering a historic recall election and thrust Wisconsin’s civil war onto front pages worldwide. The film follows three years in the lives of laid-off workers struggling to survive, business leaders trying to reinvent their local economy, and a state senator caught in the middle, trying to negotiate a peace for his warring state while protecting workers’ rights.

It’s the next in a biweekly series of Green Door Film Society screenings at Egg Harbor’s Greens N Grains Natural Foods Café shown at 7 pm in the 2^nd floor loft on Thursday, December 5.

As Goes Janesville is a tale of our time that the New York Times calls a “political thriller” and the Baltimore Sun’s TV critic David Zurawik heralds as “the best documentary about what’s happening to the middle class in America today.” Amid a bevy of movies and news reporting, it’s hard to find a more in-depth, enduring, human and even-handed treatment of our country’s continuing economic crisis and the political polarization that perpetuates it.

Noted Psychic Advisor Diana Blagdon, will host a screening discussion on the phenomenon of Walk-Ins following the film.

Wikipedia says a walk-in is, “a new age concept of a person whose original soul has departed his or her body and has been replaced with a new soul, either temporarily or permanently.” Some people believe that the concept is ageless. One of them is metaphysical author Scott Blum who wrote and directed the feature film Walk-In.

Scott Blum

His independent dark comedy is about an ailing engineer named Don Newport who meets an angel named Robert while facing his impending death. Robert ultimately inhabits Don’s previous body while each of them grapples with their new-found incarnations.

The film is inspired by Blum’s bestselling book Summer’s Path. Door County psychic, Diana Blagdon will lead a “spirited” discussion following the film.
