Malaysia will be hosting the inaugural International Macrobiotic Conference, this coming October 24-26, 2008. Organised by June Ka Lim, founder of Woods Macrobiotics Malaysia , the event is the first of its kind ever to be held in Southeast Asia in conjunction with World Vegan Day.
According to Lim, “Macrobiotics is a Greek word, in which Macro means ‘long’, and bio means ‘life’. Thus, Macrobiotics literally means a long life diet and has a history of more than 2000 years based on the total mind, body and spirit health concept. It is a lifestyle that is in harmony with nature.”
Themed ‘Alternative Healing Through Macrobiotic Food’, the conference features a panel of international guest speakers namely, Alex Jack from Europe, Selina and Carla Delangre from the United States of America, Mitsuko Mikami from Japan and Lim herself who pioneered the Macrobiotic movement in Malaysia.
Members of the public are invited to attend the event which will incorporate a 3 days/2 nights’ wellness retreat, giving participants an introduction to macrobiotics in the Malaysian context. Highlights include informative lectures on how global climate changes are impacting health and how a macrobiotic approach can prevent diseases. Attendees will also learn about macrobiotic cooking and specific menu planning, detoxification for slimming and beauty purposes, mind detoxification and how to read the face for health, among others.
