A Space of Love... :)

Are you ready for the beautiful Space of Love/Funky Raw festie coming up next weekend – August 14th–17th – in the UK?
Mmmmm, I would be there in a split second with fairy bells on if I were in the UK right now – I went to the festie last year in the Sussex countryside and loved it sooooo much, I was beaming the whole weekend ;) I'm in New England right now though, rather than the 'original' England, so I'll be sending blissings from here instead... ;) Some of the intended delights of the festie include: raw food workshops/demos/talks, yoga, live music, wild food walks, healing area, drumming circle, trance dance, permaculture, sauna, kids' area and sound healing – yummmmmmm ;)
You can check out all the details and reserve your space on the SpaceofLove site, HERE. Enjoooyyyyyyy...

on August the 5th I had:

1 quart water
mug of the Rawtographer's outrageously potent herbal tea with schizandra berries, goji berries, medicinal mushrooms, pau d'arco and more...
1.5 cups goji water with Marine Phytoplankton
bottle of greeeeeeeen juice and bottle of Royal Flush from Liquiteria
cherry and fig feast with almond butter and a slice of yummy raw lemon cheesecake :)

Well, speaking of celebrations, we had a lot of fun at David Wolfe's b–day party in NYC this week and he just posted a video online of the talk he did there. If you didn't see that and would like to check out the action, you can watch it HERE, to find out which kinds of plants he's been growing on his properties, hear how we all met up in Vilcabamba and even maybe learn how to reverse male pattern baldness – lol ;) It's 63 mins long – enjoy ;)

1 quart water
cherry, peach and blueberry feast with creamy almond butter
1 quart spring water straight from the spring
2 tbsp bee pollen, a few leaves of fresh–picked sheep's sorrel and a few wild berries, 1 tbsp green powder, a strip of dulse
little bowl of sauerkraut and kim chee with creamy almond butter and olives – wow :)

LOVED this from the Hazelden ‘Gift for Today’ email today:

Don't overlook the wonder of the ordinary.

The extraordinary, the amazing, the phenomenon are daily glorified in the movies, the news, and on television. Our senses become bombarded. We become addicted to drama. The only things that get our attention are the big, catastrophic, knee-jerking events.

Take a closer look at your life, your everyday world, and the people and activities in it. If it were all taken from you in one moment, what would you miss? What sights, what sounds, what smells? Would you miss the view from your kitchen window? If you were never to see that scene again, would you nostalgically reminisce about it, wishing you could see it one more time, remembering how beautiful it was, and how much that familiar sight comforted you in your daily life?

That really speaks to me...so many of us seem to live in such FAST–paced, whirling, info-packed BIG ACTION societies that the subtler things in life may get rarely heard or witnessed above the hubbub and drama...that’s part of the reason why I’m so excited to settle down in Vilcabamba, Ecuador, where life seems muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch slower, which suits my nature/preferred pace of life much more... ;)
As ever, you can sign up for the lovely Hazelden free daily emails HERE. Enjoy :)

on April the 27th I had:

1 quart water
mug of berry tea
shot glass of orange juice
30 chlorella ‘nuts’
2 cups STRONG green juice
3 cups apple/beetroot juice
big bowl of energy soup, followed by a slice of Mr. M’s birthday cake :)
1 quart water


on April the 28th I had:

1 quart water
mug of berry tea
2 cups STRONG green juice
3 cups energy soup with tomato slices on the side, followed by a snackaroon
1 quart water
1 quart apple/beetroot juice
2 cups water

As those of you who watch our TV SHOW will know, Mr. M and I are doing a liver cleanse at the moment, based on Andreas Moritz’s ‘Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse’...hence all the apple/beet juice... ;) It’s been almost exactly 2 years since we did our last liver cleanse, which I actually documented on YouTube way back then ;) LOL – here are those video links:

DAY 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JStNHjq-yw

DAY 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQX61xYYmxw

DAY 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz91N-sHOGc

DAY 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU_Hqo46jDc

DAY 5: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-2907709016184333803

As I write this, we’re 3 days into drinking the juices...we’ll probably do this for abt 6–7 days, then we’ll go for the liver flush sometime later this week – as you can see in the video links above, I hardly relish the Epsom Salts/Olive Oil part of liver flushing...I’m excited to give my liver a bit of a ‘spring–clean’ though, so let’s see how if all flows ;) When we followed this protocol last time, I got lots of green stones out, which had never happened for me before with liver cleanses – just total sludge...fun ;)

All love and livery anticipation,
Miss Stokes. xxx
