Raw Parenting Summit

From Monday, June 22 through Tuesday, June 30 there will be the RAW MOM SUMMIT.

If you are a mom or grandmom, have children or are pregnant - or if you know people that would be interested - you should attend this great event, and also spread the word!

I know from the extensive feedback I receive how many of you are interested, involved and concerned with raising a healthy child or grandchild in today's SAD cooked world.

I also agree that there isn't a lot of good guidance out there for raw parents and grandparents. Tara and her staff have addressed this issue in a wonderful manner.

The seminar is totally free of charge. There will be 27 interviews with leading raw fooders from around the world. All you have to do is listen to the interviews all those great people share with you.

You can learn all about the summit here: http://tinyurl.com/chiMoms

Some of the 27 speakers are Jean Liedloff (author of The Continuum Concept), Victoria and Valya Boutenko (part of the "Raw Family"), Byron Katie (author of The Work), Shazzie, Dr. Gabriel Cousens, David Wolfe, Paul Nison and many more!!

I truly want to share this wonderful summit with you!

Yours in great health,

Who and What is the WLC?
The best of local - honey, meat, eggs, chickens, cheese, and more. The best of regional - berries, fruit, and even better. The best from all over - coconut oil, palm oil, laundry detergent, organic cotton and organic clothing, personal care items and beyond. The Whole Life Co-op is a group of people in Louisville, KY who are pursuing the following things...

1. Local, sustainable, ecologically sound farming, communities, and economies. We seek to find local farmers and encourage cottage industries to flourish here in Louisville, that we might build an economy where real people really care for their land and resources and provide real products at real prices (prices that reflect the true value and costs) to real people. To fulfill this goal, we have a buying club that offers the very best in local foods, including cheeses, eggs, beef, chicken, turkey, and more!

2. Simple living. Americans have accustomed themselves to a level and style of living that is not only unsustainable, but that is the height of selfishness and waste. We teach people why this is wrong, how it is robbing people around the world and here at home, including our children, and how to make changes. For more info, we encourage you to check out "The Story of Stuff" before joining.
To fulfill this goal, we educate and equip our families to do things like make their own cleaners, toothpaste, etc... and how to generally live with and on less.

3. Nutrient dense foods and prepared parenting. Traditional cultures produced generation after generation of vibrant parents and beautiful, strong, healthy babies... needless to say, that is no longer true here in America and many other parts of the world as the displacing foods of modern commerce - refined grains and sugars, canned foods, and vegetable oils, among others - have overtaken our grocery stores. We help equip people and point them back down the path to radiant health for them and their families.

4. More to come!

Hello and thank you for the post.

Wonderful timing. We shall be starting a group just outside of Nashua NH in May, with the newly revised Home Study Program.

I am currently in N. India working with the Tibetan Community and planning to start a Raw Food clinic in Dharmsala, and wow what happenings going on there now! I am sure it will be good timing to offer some help there.

I met Dr. Ann when she was traveling to India many years ago, and what a great thrill to starting her program both in NH and possibly N. India as well.

Right now, I am looking to meet up with some folks, would like to go through the Home Study together and perhaps order some bulk products and supplies.

I will be staying just outside of Nashua with a wonderful friend..and we will be building a grow room and starting a Garden pretty much from scratch so a great time and place to start from the bottom up!
 
Happy St Patty's Day

Thank you for the feedback!

Feedback - Gary

Hello my name is Gary Harrell in Arlington Heights, Illinois approx. 1/2 hour NW of O'Hare Airport (Chicago). I would like to try going Raw and do Colonics to detoxify however I know my weakness and my strengths I need some handholding I hate to say to get me on track long enough to start feeling confident. Any suggestions you would know of up here in my part of Illinois?

--------------------------

I understand. Try http://rawlivingfoods.typepad.com/1/regular_meetings_and_events/index.html and http://rawlivingfoods.typepad.com/1/special_events/index.html. I know that there’s a large Raw group in Chicago.

I find a constant repetition of raw videos and books keeps me inspired when I’m down here on the farm in deep-fried GA. <g>

Good luck!
Jim Carey

Meetings and Events

"The gathering of people is what most frightens oppressive government. Wherever freedom reigns in the world, there is open communication amongst people. When we gather, we gain power. When we fail to gather, we only fail ourselves. Therefore, let us not forsake the gathering of ourselves together. It is as vital now as it has ever been." - Jay North

Building a raw support group

One of the important steps of going and staying Raw is having a support group.

If you can't find a Raw Foodies support group in your area, it's not hard to start one. Forward a copy of the Raw Living Foods newsletter (www.chidiet.com/news/) to people you know that are sick and tired of being sick and tired, with a personal note at the top about why you're forwarding the newsletter.

Use this initial contact to open a dialog about raw foods and what you've learned about them. Suggest you meet one evening - perhaps at a local park - and each bring your own favorite raw yummie.

Before you know it you'll have the support group you've needed.
