Would you love to enjoy deeper, more rejuvenative sleep...?

That ever-productive energy-conduit Mr. David Wolfe has just released a new free hour-long video series all about optimal rest, sleep and rejuvenation...I *love* the tips shared in this video series, which is actually an exclusive excerpt from the last Longevity Conference in California...indeed I've already implemented many of the ideas shared here into my own life and feel the differences - this is a "must-see" free video series for anyone who'd love to feel more rested, relaxed and rejuvenated - check it all out HERE and enjoy :)

Recently people have sent me links to a few new songs that I've been enjoying online - here are three very diverse gems to explore:

*Whole Foods Parking Lot - if you didn't see this one already with a brother sharing his grievances about shopping at Whole Foods, it's rather entertaining ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UFc1pr2yUU
*Stay Strong - this was sent to me by one reader, Janaki - LOVE it :) It is a very sweet and catchy uplifting "mantra" song, performed by a whole host of yoga/mantra "gurus", as a work of charity - beautiful - check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNFGKfBhtUk

I am excited to be lined up to interview the wonderful Krishna McKenzie, permaculture farmer and musician in Auroville, India, tomorrow evening for The Raw Food World Radio Show. Krishna is the son of Jeanette McKenzie, my mentor and friend who we interviewed a few weeks back on connecting to the truth within... Jeanette's son Krishna has been on a fabulous journey of exploration the last couple of decades...as far as I recall, the story goes that he left England as a teenager declaring that he was going off to India to start a farm...and that's indeed what he did ;)
Solitude Farm in the "eco-city" of Auroville, India, has been thriving as a sustainable farm for many years now under Krishna's strong guidance, practicing all kinds of "natural" farming methods such as organics, permaculture, fukuoka-methods, seed-saving etc... and Krishna and his friends there also produce wonderful music with their band "Emergence", which has even been invited to play at the famous Glastonbury festival in England :) We'll be connecting to Krishna aaaaaaaaall the way over in southern India tomorrow evening, Thursday June the 23rd, at 6pm Eastern, all being well :)

If you're in the UK next weekend, or somewhere in that vicinity, you may love to know about two fabulous upcoming raw-friendly events, which are actually both being held next weekend... ;)

The "Eco-Skills Celebration" gathering runs from September 3rd-5th in West Sussex and is a fund-raising, non-profit celebration, sharing info on permaculture, growing your own food, beekeeping, herbal medicine, biodiesel, wild foods and much more...I would be there in a heartbeat if I was on the other side of the Atlantic ;) Interestingly, all proceeds will be going toward indigenous people in Ecuador...nice synchronicity... ;)
Tickets for the whole weekend run from £25 to £100, depending on what you are willing and able to contribute... Check out http://www.ecoskillscelebration.co.uk for all the info and to book your tickets - enjoy...I'll be there with you in spirit :)

On September the 4th, the "Raw & Wild Festival" will also be held at Plawhatch Farm in West Sussex (West Sussex is apparently the place to be that weekend ;) Plawhatch is a *delightful* old biodynamic farm where Mr. M and I often get produce when we're in England...WELL...they're hosting a FREE raw foodie-friendly one day festival on September the 4th from 10am to 4pm, featuring wild food walks; raw food demos and tasting, talks on raw and wild lifestyles, booths selling yummy treats, natural crafts, raw cafe and the farms' own organic produce shop...childrens' entertainment will be on offer too and volunteers are welcome to help with the day's activities...check out this link HERE for more info and...ENJOY :)
