Yummy Raw Food Events :)

WELL, Mr. M and myself are just back from another little jaunt to our warehouse in Ojai, where our vehicle once again got totally packed to the doors with yummy things to bring on tour...yes, we're setting off on a trip again this week - our upcoming events are as follows:

*May 13th, Weds - Santa Ana, CA
*May 20th, Weds - Kansas City, MO

*May 26th, Tues - Chicago, IL
*May 29th-31st - New York City, NY - 'New Life' Raw Food and Yoga Expo
*June 5-7th - Santa Barbara, CA - 'Raw Spirit Fest'

This is the last little tour we'll be doing before our wedding at the Raw Union festie...so catch us now or forever hold your peace ;) lol - we will definitely be on tour again though after our marriage, from July sometime most likely...for now you can see all the full details for the above events on Mr. M's event page HERE...we hope to see you somewhere along the way... :)
...and if there's somewhere you'd love to hear us speak from July onwards and you're willing to help organise the event, please email us at angela@rawreform.com and we'll see what we can co-create...

on May the 8th I had:

1 quart water
2 cups mixed sprouts/carrot juice
2 Tbsp bee pollen
2 little orange mangoes
3 cups water
2 cups spinach/fennel/romaine/carrot juice
2 romaine wraps stuffed with avocado, dulse, tomatoes, mixed sprouts, followed by samples of three new raw ice cream flavours: goji, mango, vanilla – YUMMMM :)
mug of rose tulsi tea
2 cups water

If anyone out there has a huuuuuuuge tent they'd love to lend us for the Raw Union event, we'd be very excited to hear from you abt that too ;) We're looking for a very large tented area (e.g. 40' x 100') to accommodate the post-wedding party, with hundreds of attendees under one canopy ;) If that sounds like something you feel confident to cover, or have suggestions for, please drop us a line at angela@rawreform.com. Thanks :)
BTW - if you intend to be at the festie and have not yet got your tickets, it would be a BIG help for the food planners to know attendee numbers for the wedding celebration sooner rather than later (so we can be sure we have enough yummies for all ;), so please hop on over HERE and reserve your spaces if you haven't done so already - thank you :)

on May the 9th I enjoyed:

1 quart water
double shot wheatgrass juice
farmers’ market fruit fest: basket of GORGEOUS fresh mulberries, half a medium cherimoya, little handful of cherries

Here are some of my recent pictures - I've been having fun learning to use the stills camera ;)

Arriving back to the beautiful California coastline after our last trip north - love it :)


Orange trees - not sure if you can see all the fruit in this pic -
California is so ABUNDANT in citrus ;)

Walking to the river on Storm and Jinjee's eco-village land in Ojai.

Exploring a Raw Vegan Village :)

I’m in Ojai, California at the moment... :) VERY happy to be back in this beautiful area...and today we met with the gorgeous mama Jinjee of TheGardenDiet.com, to explore The Raw Vegan Village project her family is involved with – WOW – what an amazing place...117 acres of pristine land in the hills, with a river running through it, masses of space to grow food, old growth trees, mineral–rich soil, backed onto national forest – just wonderful...if we’re very fortunate, by the time you read this, Mr. M will have posted a video tour of the land over at TheRawFoodWorld.tv (if not, you’ll find it there soon... ;)

One of the things we were talking about with Jinjee today was the emergence of new kinds of humans now, as we shift into a new stage of humanity’s flow here on Earth...some people might refer to ‘crystal’ children, ‘indigo’ children, different DNA formations, memes, states of consciousness, etc...whichever way it is referred to, it seems some interesting shifts are afoot...then this evening I was reading a passage in one book I’m currently enjoying about a ‘spiritual quest’ in S. America and this passage stood out to me:

“If an acorn contains within itself a plan for something as implausible
as an oak tree, then why couldn’t humanity also have an innate plan,
a preset wiring for a greater and more highly evolved human being, and therefore, society?”

I love that – it really spoke to me...so, here’s to our ecstatic unfoldings into territories new... :)

on May the 1st I had:

1 quart water
1 quart beet/apple juice
3 romaine wraps stuffed with cucumber/avo/hempseed/dill/garlic/lemon juice mush, with dulse & tomatoes on top, followed by half an oatmeal cookiiiieeeeeee :)
3 cups water
2 cups greeeeen juice: celery, parsley, romaine, fennel, Jerusalem artichokes, cucumber, spinach, ginger
½ a GORGEOUS pineapple
half bowl of Monarch magic mix: blended apples/tahini/hazelnut butter with mulberries and goji berries on top
mug of rooibos tea
3 cups water

on May the 2nd I had:

double shot of barleygrass juice
1lb of FRESSHHHH cherries – love it :)
3 cups greeeeen juice
3 romaine wraps stuffed with cucumber mush, dulse, tomatoes etc, followed by a snackaroon and half a carob/cherry bar
1 quart water

3 cups energy soup, followed by a few chunks of freeze–dried durian ;)

Somebody wrote in recently about how much they enjoyed the ‘Green Leaves’ song I put up on YouTube over a year ago now – a raw food version of ‘Greensleeves’ – one of my all–time favourite songs ;)
I hadn’t listened to this raw version myself for a while, so thought I’d re–post it here too, for everyone to (re–)enjoy :) I feel getting plenty of fresh leafy greeeeeeens into our bodies daily is a key part of being healthy as a human...so, maybe this song will help inspire you along that path some more, if you’re not already resonating with a vibrant greeeeen glow... ;)
ENJOY ;)

(BTW – I have been drinking the bright red beet/apple juice combo for liver cleansing for the last 6 days now...I’m going to start the liver FLUSH part of the process tomorrow evening (Sunday) – all healing/soothing/releeeeeaaaaaasing vibes gratefully received... ;)

All love,
