The Ozark Center for Lifestyle Medicine is hosting its monthly whole food plant-based (WFPB) potluck meal on the second Monday of each month, and we’d love to have you join us tonight!

This community event is a wonderful opportunity to savor beautiful, delicious, healthy food, learn more about plant-based eating, and meet folks who are wanting to take a proactive role in restoring their bodies to optimal health and vitality!

We will hear the stories of some who have experienced the power of a plant-based diet to heal, and you’ll have an opportunity to “ask the doc” of Dr. Morgan, a Lifestyle Medicine physician, any questions you may have about plant-based eating, and lifestyle medicine in general. Dr. Morgan will also give a short presentation on how Lifestyle Medicine can help treat, prevent, and reverse disease.

If you can make it, just bring a dish that is based on whole plants (with minimal to no oil and salt, and no animal products) to share. If you’re not the cooking type, feel free to bring some cut-up fruit or raw veggies. Anything real and minimally processed is welcome! We just want you to come!

Please feel free to invite anyone who may be interested in coming with you! (Your dish will cover for them). Also, if you have children, say 9 and up, who are interested in healthy living, feel free to bring them along as well!

Route 66 is as much an idea as it is a place. Since its creation in 1926, America’s most famous highway has evolved from a 2,400-mile transportation corridor into a powerful symbol of nostalgia, travel, and the American road. Today, it functions as a kind of pilgrimage route, marked by neon signs, roadside attractions, and preserved motels, cafés, and gas stations. In this course, we will explore the history, cultural meaning, and enduring appeal of Route 66. Together, we will examine its origins, rise and decline, late-20th century revival, the role of nostalgia and car culture, preservation efforts, and the possible future of this iconic highway

America has provided fertile ground for new and alternative religions to sprout and grow. Some prosper and eventually become accepted as part of the normal religious landscape, some wither away and are forgotten, and some detonate, creating public scandal and in the worst cases, national tragedy. This course will examine New Religious Movements, popularly known as “cults”, within the US context. We will examine these religious movements both from insider perspectives and outsider perceptions. We will analyze the history, practices, and beliefs of these organizations to better understand them and deconstruct misconceptions. This course covers the 18th and 19th centuries.
