Join Meg O'Rourke of Harmony With Food for her second session of 4. In this session, Meg will speak to how weight loss resistance can stem from factors often overlooked in standard medical evaluations.
Micronutrient deficiencies, termed "hidden hunger," may disrupt metabolism, endocrine, and immune functions, yet routine tests often miss these deficiencies. By focusing on root causes rather than temporary solutions, individuals can achieve sustainable weight loss and improved overall health.

Join Sandy Waters as she shares her journey into mediumship!
Her years of learning and teaching have taught her that we all have the gift of connecting to the other side. Like learning any language, it’s about investing time to learn how it works.
She will share ways that your loved ones connect with each of you followed by sharing a few messages. The event will end allowing time for questions and answers.
About Sandy Waters:
Sandy Waters is a gifted medium based in the Boston area, celebrated for her heartfelt private readings and sought-after group events that often sell out. Her path to mediumship began in 2012 following the profound loss of her father. Through messages received from other mediums, Sandy found comfort in knowing her father's spirit was still with her, inspiring her to help others find the same peace.
Guided by exceptional teachers, she developed her intuitive gifts to bring healing to those navigating the pain of loss. Sandy’s work, whether in one-on-one sessions or in larger gatherings, focuses on delivering meaningful connections with loved ones in spirit, offering hope and comfort to those who seek it. | Note: Space is limited and fills up quickly.

In this virtual session with Meg O'Rourke of Harmony With Food, Meg will speak about Firmicutes and how studies have shown that a higher abundance of Firmicutes in the gut microbiome is associated with increased energy absorption and fat deposition, potentially leading to weight gain.
This suggests that an imbalance in gut bacteria may contribute to weight loss resistance. Addressing such imbalances through dietary changes and functional nutrition approaches could aid in achieving sustainable weight loss and improved health.
At Harmony with Food, we aim to empower patients with the knowledge and tools to optimize their health through functional medicine.
A link to the event will be emailed the day before the event. |

Join Jill Briansky of Purple Lotus for this grounding meditation.
Within each of us lives a rich inner world made up of many parts—each holding unique energy, emotion, and wisdom. Some parts protect us, some carry old stories, and others are waiting to be seen and embraced. In this heart-centered talk, we’ll explore the nature of these internal energy parts and how they influence the way we move.
Through gentle guidance and embodied presence, you'll be led in a grounding meditation to meet and connect with one of your inner parts—the one that’s ready to step forward and be witnessed. This experience is an invitation to deepen your self-awareness, soften into compassion, and begin (or continue) the healing dialogue within.
Whether you're familiar with inner parts work or just beginning to explore your energetic landscape, this experience offers a sacred space for insight, healing, and connection to your true essence.
