Reunion is located on the beautiful Guanacaste coast in Costa Rica

Sharing my culture’s sacred Peruvian healing medicines and practices with guests as they transform in harmony with nature is an honor for me.

GUANACASTE, Costa Rica (PRWEB)
June 01, 2023

Reunion Costa Rica, a not-for-profit retreat center founded in 2019 providing transformational plant medicine journeys for healing and personal growth, is proud to welcome five additional Indigenous medicine carriers from across Central and South America as facilitators of its on-going program “The Reunion Experience: An Ayahuasca Journey.”

Reunion’s expanded body of practitioners will provide an integral connection between ancient traditions and modern plant medicine practices for health and wellness.

• 
  Christian Calero Díaz is an 11th generation Peruvian healer and shaman and brings to Reunion a deep reverence for plant medicine and a life-long dedication to these sacred practices.
• Ninawa Pai Da Mata is an ancient wisdom keeper, spiritual leader, and renowned medicine musician of the Amazonian Huni Kuin people, whose work is focused on sharing and spreading Huni Kuin culture through traditional chants and songs.
• Maestra Ynes and her two daughters, Maestra Laura and Maestra Lila, bring to Reunion over 80 years of dedicated medicine experience and ancestral knowledge of the Shipibo tradition. They have devoted their lives to healing and bring with them a wealth of generational and familial knowledge.

Together, the depth and breadth of knowledge that these wisdom keepers bring to Reunion’s ceremonial offerings will enable the organization to better serve the growing plant medicine community as its guests seek to explore authentic, transformative healing experiences.

“Working with wisdom keepers from various Indigenous lineages allows us to facilitate this work in solidarity with the original stewards of the medicines to ensure we are in reciprocity and integrity. Reunion is honored to act as a bridge between Indigenous cultures, medicines, and deep, ancestral practices as they are shared with modern Western cultures through our center in Costa Rica. Our not-for-profit model allows us to facilitate this work without commodification and deeply resonates with our growing family of contributors, which includes practitioners and experienced facilitators,” said Brad Wells, Founder and Steward of Reunion.

“Being at Reunion and working with people from all over the world brings joy and happiness to my heart. Sharing my culture’s sacred Peruvian healing medicines and practices with guests as they transform in harmony with nature is an honor for me. Thank you, Reunion, for welcoming me as family,” said Christian Calero Díaz.

In line with its values of reciprocity, the Reunion Scholarship Program provides financial assistance and greater accessibility for guests who could not otherwise afford the opportunity to undergo transformative healing with plant medicine.

Reunion is also proud to be an Exhibiting Sponsor at the upcoming Psychedelic Science 2023 conference in Denver, Colorado from June 19-23, 2023. Guests at the conference will find Reunion at Booth 816.

“Daxxify is one of the safest, newest and most effective treatments on the market for wrinkles and fine lines for many patients, and with fewer treatments necessary for results compared to Botox and other similar products,” says Dr. Jacob Sedgh.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (PRWEB)
June 01, 2023

Dr. Jacob Sedgh is pleased to announce that DAXXIFY™, the only long-lasting, peptide-powered wrinkle injection treatment, is now available at his practice. Well-respected Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Sedgh is one of just a few select providers to currently offer this innovative treatment to patients. Daxxify is a new injectable wrinkle treatment that’s FDA-approved to improve the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines, frown lines or “elevens” between the eyebrows. It can be used off-label to treat other wrinkles, like forehead furrows, crow’s feet and bunny lines, as well as platysmal bands in the neck and dimpling of the chin. As with other toxins, it can also be injected into the masseter muscles to soften a square, bulky jaw while reducing the clenching and grinding associated with TMJ. Like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, Daxxify (a.k.a. Daxi) works by temporarily blocking the release of the neurotransmitter that causes muscle movement. This smooths the “dynamic wrinkles” and prevents new expression lines from forming. What’s unique about Daxxify is its longevity with clinical studies showing an improvement in frown lines for six to nine months (compared to the standard three to five-month result offered by previously approved neuromodulators, like Botox). Daxxify is safe and effective for most patients and is unique because it is the only formulation that uses a novel peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts. With 20 years of research behind it and the largest phase-3 clinical trial program done on frown line treatment, patients can feel confident that this treatment is safe on most skin types.

“Daxxify is one of the safest, newest and most effective treatments on the market for wrinkles and fine lines for many patients, and with fewer treatments necessary for results compared to Botox and other similar products,” says Dr. Jacob Sedgh.

More about Dr. Jacob Sedgh:

With the benefit of two decades of medical training and practical experience at top medical institutions in the United States, Dr. Jacob Sedgh combines mastery of medical knowledge and surgical skills with the attention and perfection of a sculptor, delivering highly-personalized patient care. Dr. Sedgh attended the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, receiving honors and recognition signifying his achievements as a top-tier graduate and completed a surgical internship at the University of California, San Francisco. He concluded his residency in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery at the prestigious University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Dr. Sedgh then completed a fellowship at Penn State Hershey Medical Center focusing on facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Whether it is the finesse of rhinoplasty to achieve a refined nose or the extensive reconstructive work on cancer patients to optimally restore form and function, board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jacob Sedgh creates beautiful, natural results at his clinic located at 9201 Sunset Blvd, Suite 404 in West Hollywood, CA.

Seeking Indiegogo backers for the Minuendo LIVE earplugs

We are very pleased to announce the launch of our Indiegogo campaign, and look forward to bringing our third Minuendo earplug to market, with support of the Indiegogo community.

OSLO, Norway (PRWEB)
June 01, 2023

Minuendo, a leading manufacturer of patented earplugs, announced the launch of an Indiegogo campaign. Minuendo requests financial support and resources from the Indiegogo community, so that it can start manufacturing and shipping its new earplug product, Minuendo LIVE 17dB. Campaign pricing for Minuendo LIVE earplugs is heavily discounted for early backers.

Hearing is critical to communication with family, friends, in work settings, and when out in public. Minuendo strives to increase the longevity of this communication, through education about hearing health, and by offering methods for protection. Its products aim to provide safe auditory experiences for consumers, including concertgoers and musicians.

Moderate sound levels in concert performance situations can be harmful over time. For those who have frequent exposure to loud sound levels, they may suffer from hearing damage and tinnitus. Some damage can occur near-instantaneously, such as when exposed to loudspeaker feedback during a concert. The development of some hearing loss conditions is cumulative over time. This includes Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). There are no current treatments that have shown to be effective in reversing the course of hearing loss.

By using a patented membrane system, Minuendo’s approach to hearing protection is considered by many to be more advanced than many other products in the hearing protection market. Building on the success of its Adjustable earplugs,the company has created Minuendo LIVE to provide consumers with the perfect balance between sound reduction and quality – all at a lower price point than the adjustable model. Supporting this campaign will allow Minuendo to bring a much-needed new product to consumers that need a well-rounded hearing protection solution.

“We are very pleased to announce the launch of our Indiegogo campaign, and look forward to bringing our third Minuendo earplug to market, with support of the Indiegogo community,” said Chief Product Officer and Co-founder, Tom Trones, Minuendo. “This campaign will help us bring our LIVE earplugs to consumers who want to protect themselves without compromising on the experience.”

Key Features:

• 
  Natural flat frequency response
• 17dB attenuation
• Superior sound quality
• Designed for comfort
• Based on patented membrane design
• No electronics or batteries
• Selection of 11 ear tips
• Premium accessories
• Designed and manufactured in Norway

Although Minuendo earplugs are primarily designed for concertgoers and musicians, early results have shown they are beneficial in other use cases. This includes riding motorbikes, bartending, working with children, and hyperacusis treatment.
