Three Creative Raw Goddesses... :)

I have three gorgeous raw goddess creative flows to share with you today...

Firstly, our dear friend in California, Shea Lynn Baird, has an absolutely fabulous offer to share with you all...

Some of you will know Shea already, as a superb colon hydrotherapist, long-time raw foodie and host of the free "Monday Night LIVE!" raw food talk sessions at Cafe Gratitude in N. California.
In 2009, Shea and her husband Stephen hosted a free live talk at Cafe Gratitude in Healdsburg EVERY Monday night...and now they're doing it again, all through 2010 ;O That's dedication...
They have hosted many oustanding speakers already and the line-up just keeps on going - this is such a wonderful way to share the raw message.
Shea and Stephen were also kind enough to FILM every single talk that has been shared so far, which equates to over 100 hours of footage already, from speakers such as:

Elaina Love, Laura Fox, Kevin and Annmarie Gianni, Cherie Soria, Dr.Rick Dina, John Kohler, Dr. Doug Graham, Paul Nison, Steve Adler, Jennifer Cornbleet, Bunny Berry, our very selves aaaaaaaand they even hosted four q&a panels with raw chefs, raw doctors and raw athletes...

...and NOW, they are offering "Access All Areas" online passes to anyone who did not make the talks in person, or would LOVE to see them again, so you can view all the footage online - cool :)
They have three options for you, all at extremely reasonable prices, IMO, considering the WEALTH of information these passes will give you access to:

*All Access 2009 AND 2010 - $49.95

*All Access 2010 - $39.95

*All Access 2009 - $39.95

To see more details and to access all these areas, you can visit Shea and Stephen's site HERE - enjoy :)))

Another yummy raw diva friend, Joyce Oliveto, would also love to let y'all know about the upcoming Third Annual Raw Living Health Festival that she is hosting again this year in Brighton, Michigan.
You may recall the lovely Joyce from the series of "Ann Wigmore Retrospective" videos we filmed with her last year - Joyce has been in this movement for decades and has a huge amount to share ;)
The festival this year will be held on Saturday September the 18th, from 10am to 8pm and will feature live raw food demos and sample, live music, wild edible walks, booths, live blood cell analysis, body workers and more - full deets can be found over HERE.

...and remember, a few weeks back I did a whole write-up of the upcoming raw-friendly festies this summer, worldwide - you can check that out HERE...plus some extras HERE too - enjoy :)

All blessings and abundant flow to you and through you,
Ms. S-M. xxx

May I Be Frank...?

EXCITING: have you seen anything about the new ‘raw transformation’ documentary that’s in the works called ‘May I be Frank?’? I think it looks GREAT :) One reader, Gina, sent me THIS LINK this week to an article in Ode Magazine about the ‘star’ of the film, Frank Ferrante, who agreed to participate in this ‘sort of reverse Super Size Me’ production, with the assistance of some of those beautiful people from Café Gratitude.
55-year-old Frank’s background involves a working-class Brooklyn upbringing, drug addiction, alcoholism, arrests, periods in mental institutions, suicide attempts, obesity, hepatitis, heavy medications and strained relationships. PHEW...quite a bit to work through then, potentially ;) It looks like it will be a very entertaining, moving and inspiring film, especially to share with loved ones. You can watch the trailer HERE – it’s so well put together – I love it and look forward to seeing the full-length film when it’s ready – ENJOY :)


on August the 19th I had:

1 quart water
3 cups veggie juice: celery, cucumber, fennel, endive, carrot, ginger
2 cups ‘energy soup’ with diced bell pepper and dulse pieces. Followed by a little hazelnut butter mixed with raw carob powder
1 quart water
3 cups veggie juice: celery, cucumber, fennel, endive, carrot, ginger
2 cups ‘energy soup’ with diced bell pepper and dulse pieces. Followed by a bowl of durian/hemp ice cream with lucuma and carob powders – YUM :)
mug of peppermint tea
2 cups water

YUMMY – a fantastic new raw food hangout has opened here in Brighton and I’m VERY excited about it :) It’s called ‘Manna’ and is hosted by the lovely Warren and Andreas. We shimmied along there yesterday to see how things are unfolding in their opening days. I think it is looking very beautiful – a light, bright, welcoming space painted in tranquil greens and yellows, with a generous deli counter packed with fresh greens, musical instruments hanging on the walls for customers to jam with, knowledgeable, friendly service, a lovely garden space with grape vines, a shop space with all kinds of pre-packaged goodies for sale and of course fresh juices, smoothies, raw meals, teas and more. I think this is a VERY exciting development for the UK raw food scene...
We tried the raw ‘burger’ dish and it was truly superlative. The venue has a late license, so the plan is to host events/jam sessions etc in the evenings, which will be such a blessing, to have a ‘clean’ space like this for people to gather and connect. WONDERFUL :)
If you’d love to get on down to Manna, here is the address:

Manna
24 Coombe Road
Brighton
BN2 4EA
