April 2018, the SDS Annual "Total Self" Meeting - Shea Butter by W.G. Goreja

Each year Sisters of the Desert Sun dedicates a meeting to focus on healthy living - mind, body and soul.  This year we discussed natural skin care products and what we can do to maintain our youthful glow.  Several members live by and recommended shea butter - not commercial products with a 'touch' of shea butter added, but the real deal - African shea butter sold by the pound.  

In addition to what you put on your skin, we also discussed what we put in our bodies.  Our meeting was held at "True Food Kitchen" which was founded by world famous integrative medicine doctor, Andrew Weil.  There we selected from a menu designed to not only be delicious, but to be healthy by scientifically combing anti-inflammatory foods.  

Members left with an abundance of new information about the history and multiple uses for shea butter, soothing music to promote a sense of calm, shea butter samples, natural fragrance oils, African black soap, and information on meditation and yoga.  Members also left with a renewed commitment to making a lifestyle change by increasing their focus on self-care and moving forward positively toward living their best life.
