Join John Robbins, Cheri Huber, Dr. Lawrence Kushi, Dr. Gordon Saxe, Cynthia and David Briscoe, Dr. Rusty Kallenberg and many other health and environmental teachers for the twentieth annual, 2011 Health Classic at the beautiful Hotel Mar Monte in Santa Barbara, California, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Choose from over forty health, lifestyle, nutrition, cooking and exercise workshops and classes while enjoying the Health Classic's gourmet, vegetarian, organic cuisine amidst the majestic ocean view of California's premier coastal town.
Keynote Presentation: John Robbins
The 2011 Health Classic proudly welcomes back one of America's most articulate and passionate voices in the environmental and natural health movements, Pulitzer Prize nominated best-selling author and the founder of the international environmental organization Earthsave, John Robbins. One of the Health Classic's keynote presenters at the first Health Classic in 1991, John will discuss his landmark work on the effect of diet on the environment as well as his recent writings on how to best live a life that supports individual health as well as the health of the planet.
Keynote Presentation: Dr Lawrence Kushi
Join Dr. Lawrence Kushi, a nutritional epidemiologist, who has been involved in many studies on the role of diet in cancer. He is the Principal Investigator of a large study funded by the National Cancer Institute that examines the role of diet, use of alternative therapies and other factors in breast cancer recurrence and survival. Dr. Kushi is also the son of Michio and Aveline Kushi, two of the leading proponents of macrobiotics. His presentation will focus on the seemingly contradictory, but actually complementary nature of what we know about food, nutrition and cancer from these perspectives.
A Weekend with Cheri Huber
Spend Friday night and all day Saturday with one of American's most distinguished teachers of Zen for over thirty years and the author of twenty books, Cheri Huber. Cheri writes of her Friday presentation, "Our ability to direct our attention is the single greatest aid we have in freeing ourselves from the unconscious, self-destructive habits and behaviors that can prevent us from having the life that is possible for us. Learning to be at choice about where we give our attention can take our lives from bad to good, from good to great, and from great to extraordinary. Knowing what we want for our lives does us no good if we cannot give our attention to having it. Come join us and learn how to focus your attention and have the quality of life you
choose. Of her Saturday two-part workshop, Cheri writes, "Our lives are the result of what we practice." For example, if we practice, "I should be different" or "I'm afraid" or "I don't know what to do" that's the life experience we will have. What we get in life, the life we have, is the result of what we do. If I want to be joyful or peaceful or satisfied I must "do" joyful or peaceful or satisfied. I cannot want one thing, practice another thing, and get the result I want. What I practice is what I have. It is imperative that what I practice is what I want. In this session, learn to 1) recognize what you're currently practicing, 2) clarify the practice you want instead, and 3) learn to practice moment by moment what you choose for you life.
20th Annual Health Classic Special Presentation: Cynthia and David Briscoe
 In commemorating the 20th Annual Health Classic, the 2011 Health Classic proudly presents a special four-day seminar, "Transformations for Daily Life," with senior teachers Cynthia and David Briscoe .

Renew in the New Year with Health Classic Faculty
Renew in the New Year with presentations focusing on personal growth, self-care and well-being in the coming year. In her "Breathing - Stress Reduction" presentation, experienced fitness instructor Anna Shay McEntee explores how to begin the New Year by learning how to turn on "your pilot, your number one vital force," i.e., your breath, and how to direct it throughout your body. Santa Barbara acupuncturist and yoga teacher Aliki St. Denis leads a two-part workshop, "Yoga for Renewal," based on her extensive background in Iyengar yoga. Santa Barbara physician James Kwako presents "The Art of Self Renewal," exploring emotional, health and physical well-being from his years of experience as a family medical doctor. And, the founders of the Seed Restaurant in Venice, California, renowned authors and cooking teachers Eric Lechasseur and Sanae Suzuki teach a beginning of the year cooking class of renewal and inspiration, "Happy New Year, Happy New You."
Doctor's in the Kitchen: Keynote Presentations with Dr. Gordon Saxe
Physician and clinical researcher Dr. Gordon Saxe explores the roles of diet and lifestyle in the prevention and treatment of cancer from the lenses of both Easter and Western medicine in his keynote presentation. Citing both his own and others' research and considering the more holistic perspective of Oriental medicine, he will bridge Eastern and Western thought by presenting a new, integrated philosophy of cancer. On Sunday morning Dr. Saxe enters the kitchen to teach how to cook healthy, nutritious and beautiful foods from his dual perspective as passionate chef and noted and experienced physician.
