The Full Moon Parasite Protocol: Timing Your Body's Natural Protocol

Headaches. Brain fog. Bloating. Fatigue that won't quit no matter how much sleep you get. These symptoms are common—but they're not something you should have to live with. And what if the root cause isn't what you've been told? Parasites are far more prevalent than most people realize, and they're often overlooked by conventional medicine. The good news? Your body has a natural rhythm that creates a strategic window for addressing them—and it's tied to the lunar cycle. During the full moon, your body's serotonin levels rise. Parasites use this neurotransmitter to become more active and mobile—which sounds concerning, but it's actually an opportunity. When they're on the move, they're more vulnerable to elimination. Join us to discover: → How to recognize if parasites might be affecting your health → Why timing matters—and how to work with your body's natural cycles → Whether your body is prepared for a cleanse (and what to do if it's not) → A step-by-step approach to safe, effective parasite detoxification This workshop is designed to give you clarity and confidence—whether you're new to this concept or ready to take action.

With high construction costs, every square foot matters in the battle to produce affordable housing. This presentation will introduce the building code requirements currently in effect in several U.S. jurisdictions, their intended application to address life-safety risks, and how they enable the creation of more cost-efficient buildings, such as single-egress stair (SES) buildings. Small, single-egress stair (SES) buildings up to six stories are currently a hot topic in the housing industry. Housing advocates and community leaders are advocating for them as a solution to build more affordable housing. Other entities, often including fire officials, have concerns that these SES buildings are not as safe and may compromise occupants’ and firefighters’ safety. Simpson Gumpertz & Heger’s Associate Principal Joshua Greene’s presentation will address key life-safety considerations for residential buildings and how they can be used to maximize housing. Questions and discussion during the presentation are encouraged. Josh Greene is an Associate Principal in the fire protection engineering practice of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger in Waltham, MA. Josh is a licensed professional engineer in nine states, including Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and Rhode Island. He has over twenty-seven years of experience in building and fire code consulting, fire protection system design, smoke control analyses, and system commissioning and construction administration services. Josh specializes in assessing unique and challenging designs and employing performance-based concepts for alternative solutions to prescriptive code requirements. He is active in numerous professional organizations, including leadership roles in technical committees and working groups for the Society of Fire Protection Engineers and the National Fire Protection Association. This event is sponsored by Norway Savings Bank.

Join us at Fields Pond Audubon Center for a screening of Clear Day Thunder: Rescuing the American Chestnut. This compelling 51-minute documentary chronicles the remarkable history of the American Chestnut, once known as the “redwood of the East,” and its devastating loss to chestnut blight in the early 20th century. The film explores ongoing restoration efforts to bring this iconic tree back from the brink of extinction. Following the screening, participants will have the opportunity to plant American Chestnut seedlings, directly contributing to the restoration of this native species to its historic range. Armed with this new knowledge, we’ll put conservation into action to support the resilience of nature.
