“I began my personal training in the Non-Violent System (NVS) of selfdefense with Grandmaster Verkerke in 1996,” says Eddie Rose, senior instructor of NVS Peace in the Midst of Non-Violence at Shangri-La Springs, in Bonita Springs, Florida. This aspect of the martial art form seicho jutsu was created by Canadian Daniel Verkerke, Ph.D., as a simple self-defense system to teach and perpetuate nonviolence; he continues to share it with the public, law enforcement, corporations and private security firms in the U.S. and internationally.

Chiropractic Care for Chronic Pain by Dr. Brendt Mendelblatt
Chronic pain can affect anybody, anywhere.

Resilience Fitness for Pain Management by Sifu Ed D’Urso
Do you seek a pain-free life? Or would you rather the ability to master pain and gain from it? Truly, we really only have two choices: comfort or power. Most people would opt for the pain-free life, and there are plenty of products out there that promise freedom from pain in exchange for dependence on that freedom.

Garlic Greens Recipes from Rusty Plough Farm by Nadia Maczaj
Garlic greens are a true seasonal treat. At Rusty Plough Farm we plant our garlic in the fall. When the cloves sprout in the spring, we harvest some of the smaller, young, green plants. These fresh greens, along with the soft, white bulb, offer a slightly milder taste than the clove garlic, which is harvested later in the summer. The chopped garlic greens are great in sautés, soups, burgers, tuna salad, egg salad and even in your favorite home-made salad dressing. They’re lovely tossed with pasta and some fresh parmesan cheese. You even can add them to your garlic bread for some zesty color.

The Evolving Scope of MEN’S WORK by Tom Kelley
About 5 years ago I wrote an article for this magazine about the value of men’s groups for men’s wellness. The men’s group I founded in Nyack in 2010 still meets every other week, starting with a grounding exercise to fully arrive and leave our days behind. We check in with what we have been up to and more importantly, what about it has made an impact – the lessons, feelings and perspectives.
