Spiritual Speaker: Leslie Zehr

The Body Temple

Each of us is provided with a sacred space to house our soul. That is the body temple. How we nurture and tend this body is a reflection and manifestation of our spiritual beliefs. Join us as we explore sacred living, or conscious living, which includes taking care of our temple and the importance of diet, cooking, honoring food and the different philosophies behind these practices.

Leslie Zehr left western culture in 1986 to make her home in Egypt. Leslie was born in Lima, PerĂº but received most of her education in the USA. She is the author of The Alchemy of Dance: Sacred Dance as a Path to the Universal Dancer. In 1995 Leslie started the Women’s Group for Health and Well-being in Egypt. The group sponsors monthly gatherings as well as lectures and workshops in different areas of health and well-being. Leslie has International Certifications in Hypnotherapy, Touch for Health and Aromatherapy as well as Diplomas in Homeopathy and Sandplay therapy. She is a Reiki Master and holds a BS in Psychology from VPI, where she also studied Biochemistry. She is Cairo’s most prominent Aromatherapist. In February 2006 she presented a talk to the Doctors at the National Research Center of Egypt as a way to introduce Aromatherapy to Department of Complementary Therapies. Leslie’s work with plants has led her to develop the Al-chemia Remedies a line of Egyptian Flower and Sacred Sites Remedies. Her main work is with The Universal Dancer which incorporates Sacred Dance and esoteric wisdom which she teaches both in Egypt and abroad. As well as her book she has published numerous articles on Sacred Dance, Aromatherapy, Spiritual Astrology, The Mayan Calendar, Personal Alchemy and the Al-chemia Remedies.

  1. So you are bringing a quack who will promote unscientific 'remedies' that asks people to put their minds on hold and ignore mountains of evidence, science and theory to promote vegetarianism?

    Don't you think this will give your cause a bad name?

  2. Dear Moftasa,

    It is very derogatory of you to use a term such as "quack" to refer to someone as knowledgeable as Ms Leslie Zehr.

    Also, we are arguing for vegetarianism from more than one perspective: from the point of view of the environment, animal rights, and health--which in essence is spiritual. We respect scientific viewpoints as well as spiritual/mystical ones. Integration and respect are key.

    I hope you reconsider your comment.

    It's comments like yours that make a bad name for yourself.

    Think of this event as a new fresh event filled with hope.
