exciting news

The Flower of Life wellness center is now open and we are beginning to schedule classes and workshops. My Raw Basics series will begin in November with the elemental Green Smoothies 101 class. Other classes in this series include:

Raw in the winter
Fermented foods and Kombucha
Raw on the go
Simple dehydrator snacks
Sprouts and salads

This series of classes teaches you how to prepare the staple foods of the raw and living foods diet. Rather than focus on reinventing favorite cooked meals, which i believe prolongs our emotional attachment to the paradigm of cooked food, i prefer to stress the essential components of vitality through diet. This facilitates optimum immune strength and maximum energy, as well as creating the best environment for healing a variety of conditions and illness.

These classes are perfect for anyone who has made the decision to include more live foods in their daily diet, and certainly for anyone transitioning to a raw lifestyle. Each participant will go home with a packet of recipes and information about the foods prepared. Each class features a different essential element of a live foods diet and promises to be a lively, interactive and inspiring experience.

David Wolfe on Cacao

Raw Cacao has been a part of my daily diet since i went raw in 2007. I didn't know at the time what an amazing superfood it is, i just started putting it into my smoothies because i was thrilled that i could have chocolate without sugar on my raw diet. It wasn't until i went two weeks without cacao that i noticed the difference it had been making in my life. I found myself slowly sinking into depression again, reminiscent of the way my life was before my big lifestyle change. Then i found out that raw cacao is a natural serotonin booster and that it contains more magnesium than any other food. Magnesium deficiencies are common in people with many psychiatric disorders such as bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia, which are most often treated with anti-depressants. I have found raw cacao to be a natural antidepressant that helps me to coast through challenging periods of my life.

I will begin at the beginning very soon, telling the story of why and how i went raw. For now, listen to David Wolfe talk about chocolate.
