Join Our Team at Raw Spirit Fest :)

MmMmmm, exciting opportunity alert: would you love to come and help out at our ‘Raw Food World’ booth at the Santa Barbara Raw Spirit Festival next weekend – June 5–7th? We are looking for two more lovely helpers.
In return for helping out at the booth roughly half of each day, you will receive a complimentary admission pass for the whole festival. You will be working in a team of around 6 people – this will likely equate to working around 3–5 hours each day, from Friday to Sunday. Roles might include serving customers, answering questions, setting up and packing down the booth, re–stocking the booth, running miscellaneous errands and so on.
Accommodation and travel are not provided – camping is easily available onsite however. We would love to welcome two people to the team who are good communicators, honest, co–operative, diligent, fun, heart–centered, active, experienced with raw foods, quick–thinking, self–motivated and with high integrity. If that sounds like you and you’d love to join us for this event, please email angela@rawreform.com and let us know in one paragraph or less why you think you’d be ideal for this role – thanks ;)

on May the 27th I had:

1 quart water
chia meal: chia seed soaked in blended mango and water, with fresh cherries/strawberries and freeze–dried durian on the side
1 quart water
30 chlorella ‘nuts’
big salad: masses of fresh leafy greens smothered in a dressing (tahini, pumpkin seed butter, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, water, touch of Himalayan salt and stevia), followed by a little ‘Yoga Bar’ from Everything Raw
3 cups water

Here are two little gems of insight that people shared with me recently on our travels that I’d love to pass on:

i) via Betsy, the raw reflexologist in Michigan: many people carry ‘S.H.O.U.L.D’s on their S.H.O.U.L.Ders’ – see the connection? I’d never noticed that before, that the word ‘shoulders’ carries a 'hidden should’ ;) I see the imagery of people walking around feeling ‘the weight of the world on their shoulders’, concerned about all the things they feel they ‘should’ do... Mmmmmm...personally I very rarely use the word ‘should’ towards myself or anyone else – every moment is a choice ;)

ii) I loved a recent conversation with a young raw couple in which they conveyed their current intention to no longer eat ‘anything with a barcode on it’ ;) lol – I love that...such a great image...I often share in our talks a saying from my friend Kathy that in the supermarkets ‘the middle aisles will kill you’ – this barcode imagery resonates along the same lines for me – how many barcodes do we see in nature...??? ;)
