Poi, Passion and Publicity... ;)

OOoooooo, seems like lots of you have been getting inspired about POI dancing – YAY :) That’s great, I’m happy to see that…maybe at next year’s Raw Spirit Fest we can have a big poi dancing session all together ;) Some questions abt poi have been coming in too…
1. Do we have different colours of poi available in the RawReform Store, other than red?
YES, we do – we currently have 5 colours available: black with white, blue with light blue, red with white (shown here), pink with white OR lime green with yellow. If you would like a specific colour, you can leave a note as you order, stating the colour you’d like ;)
2. Can you dance with fire poi?
Yes, I can. In fact, I learnt to poi dance with fire poi. I rarely do it though. I also got many bruises from the fire poi while I was learning, as they are MUCH bigger and heavier than the soft practice poi we sell. I definitely recommend starting out with the practice poi and later moving to fire spinning with GREAT caution, if that interests you ;).

on October the 7th I had:

1 quart water
3 delectable little yellow dragon fruit
1 pint celery/cucumber/mizuna/tatsoi/spinach/cabbage/apple/ginger/all-kinds-of-greens juice
2 cups water
bowl of avo mushed with alive hummus, sprouts, chopped tomatoes and Celtic sea salt, served with flax crackers.
3 cups water
2 mangoes
2 cups water
1 pint celery/cucumber/mizuna/tatsoi /spinach/cabbage/apple/ginger/all-kinds-of-greens juice
3 cups water

NEWSFLASH: There is still space available in the ‘Green Retreat’ house in Ojai, California. This is a fabulous opportunity to share space with loving, open, raw-food-friendly peoples in a beautiful setting…There’s lots more info HERE – and please note, there’s no requirement to be 100% raw to join the fun – just mindful of what you’re feeding your body and mind ;) Please also feel free to pass the info on to anyone else you think may enjoy to know abt this opportunity… ;)

On October the 8th I had:

2 cups celery/cucumber/mizuna/tatsoi/spinach/cabbage/apple/ginger/all-kinds-of-greens juice

3 cups water

Wooooow, looks like maybe the ‘mainstream’ media in the UK at least is catching on to sharing some more raw foodie info…a few days ago the Guardian published a story titled ‘Is Cooked Food Dangerous?’…To find out what their conclusion was, see the piece in full here:

Have you been loving the Raw Summit 2? I HAVE :) I barely heard any of the first Raw Summit due to a fast-paced lifestyle at that time – now I’m listening in every day – yummy :) Some of my highlights so far were hearing Rod Rotondi of Leaf Cuisine speaking about how they don’t have ‘trash’ at the Leaf restaurants – just one pile for recycling and one for compost :O GO ROD :) I love it… It was great for me to hear Annie Jubb share her experience – I’d never heard her speak before at all and she seems to have a great deal of grounded, loving guidance to share. Go raw women speakers ;)
I was also really happy to hear Sergei Boutenko speak about the Boutenko family’s trek along the Pacific Coast Trail when he was about 13. That journey is described in Raw Family, the Boutenko’s book which helped me shift the track of my life 5 years ago…I’ve never heard any of them SPEAK about the trek though…it was SO beautiful to me to hear Sergei talk about how he started out thinking it would be desperately dull and packing his Gameboy, to absolutely revelling in the experience, eating 70% foraged foods and now sharing his foraging skills with others all over the world :) Hmmmm…I would love to do a pilgrimage at some point…
In the meantime, if you’re not tuned into the Summit yet, it’s totally free to listen in and you can sign up HERE: http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=672327

Still to air are Tim Van Orden, Ani Phyo, Mike Nash, Joel Fuhrman, Debbie Merrill and the good Drs. Clement – great line-up ;)

One love,
