ances are hazardous to our health,” Sunshine says. “Our body is an energy system which can be drained and interrupted by opposing electro-magnetic fields, potentially damaging the hu- man cell and affecting the DNA. This can disrupt brain waves and cause stress, headaches, fatigue, sleep disturbances and muscle pain.” Sunshine will address CHEO’s Loudon/Monroe Community
Group, which meets at 7 p.m. the fourth Wednesday of each month at Rarity Bay Community Activity Center in Vonore, Ten- nessee. He will explain the dangers of electro-magnetic fields and how to protect against them, and there will be two drawings for products designed to protect against electromagnetic fields generated by cell phones. CHEO of the Greater Knoxville Area has two community
groups that conduct monthly educational meetings, the Loudon/ Monroe Community Group and the Knoxville Community Group, which meets the first Monday of each month at Parkwest Medical Center classrooms in Knoxville. Members and first-time guests attend free of charge; there is a suggested donation of $5 for returning guests.

Drum Circle Memorializes 9/11 Victims
T
he Center for Peace—a holistic, non-denominational spiritual
center located in Seymour, Tennes- see—will host an open house and community drum circle event on September 11, the ninth anniversary of the terror attacks on New York, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania. The “Calling All Drums” event
will begin at 3 p.m. with an open house, where refreshments will be served. The group will then move to the meadow for a butterfly release to be held in memory of the victims of 9/11 and in honor of the emergency personnel who served that day and during the after- math. Tuatha Dea Drum Nation will then facilitate a community
drumming circle led by Damasqhs, who is also the founder of the local Tuatha Dea Celtic Tribal Drum Ensemble. “Our goal is to serve the community through the interaction and exchange of the drum’s energy,” he says, adding that such events help to break down barriers “while promoting self confidence, team- building, self-expression and overall personal health through the power of rhythm.” Prior drumming experience is not required, and everyone is welcome to participate equally. “Everyone has a drummer in them,” Damasqhs says. Participants are invited to bring their own drums, bongos,
rattles, tambourines or other instruments. Local drum importer Djembe Drums & Skins of Seymour will be on hand with drums to share for those who don’t bring their own. The Center for Peace is located at 880 Graves-Delozier Rd.,
about 45 minutes from downtown Knoxville. For more informa- tion, call the Center 865-428-3070, or visit
