Magi Offers Special Reiki Sessions at Alive & Well
A
cost-saving opportunity to experience the stress-reducing, healing energy of Reiki is available in Fort Myers for most of this month. Samantha Magi, who has taught and practiced the method for more than 18 years, is offering 45-minute mini-classes and sessions at half price from September 9 to 30, plus discounts on Reiki I sessions in October, at Alive & Well Holistic Center.
Magi, a veteran holistic healer, counselor, energy healer and intuitive, has been provid- ing Reiki at the center since last spring. She has worked with the AIDS Support Group for Families & Caregivers in Phoenix, Arizona, teaching visualization and doing Reiki; with Hospice in New Mexico, where she also provided Reiki; and she was a Florida volunteer crisis counselor. Magi was taught by one of the 22 original Reiki Masters initiated by the original American Master, Hawayo Takata.

USDA to Fund Area Wetlands Restoration
F
lorida recently received encouraging news about area water and land resto- ration. On August 11, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack an- nounced $100 million in financial assistance to ac-
quire permanent easements from eligible landowners in four counties and assist with wetlands restoration on nearly 24,000 acres of agricultural land in the Northern Everglades Watershed. Senator Bill Nelson, who met with cabinet officers last spring to ask for such action, says, “The announcement is an- other signal that the administration is fully behind restoration of the River of Grass.” He adds that the action also supports Florida’s ranching heritage and builds on the conservation easements at Fisheating Creek, acquired last year, and the proposed Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area.
