Summer is officially gone and oh what a summer it has been. We've been learning, relaxing, working and prepping for our upcoming series!
Audrey went away for a while to study with herbalist Susan Weed in Woodstock New York and is excited to share some of what she learned in the upcoming series. She is soon headed to give a retreat in Barbados during the month of October and will be returning nice and tan to kick off the series!
Wendell had a very successful knee surgery. The doctors and nurses are AMAZED at his speedy recovery. Wendell attributes this success to eating nutrient dense foods and keeping his diet pure and clean along with daily exercise.
Wendell will soon be revealing his newest book as well, Earth Suit Maintenance Guide:
Dietary Literacy and Vegan Recipes for the Nutritionally Challenged. Stay tuned for details on the book and where you can find it!
Now for the line up of classes. We are so excited about this, friends. We'll be squeezing as much as we possibly can into this series - chock full of new recipes, new local vendors and of course, lots of awesome prize giveaways for each class!
November 1 - Are you on acid? The Acid / Alkaline Connection
An acidic inner ecology (low pH levels) creates toxic and acidic waste (acidosis) to build up in our Earth Suit. Because acidosis is so overlooked by main stream medicine many suffer needlessly. Cancer, heart disease, auto-immune problems, osteoporosis, low energy, unwanted weight gain, yeast infections, arthritis, poor athletic performance and premature aging, inflammation and auto-immune disorders are caused when your Holy Temple is on Acid, so to speak. Sugar is the worst culprit.
In this class discover vibrant, plant based foods and beverages that neutralize an acidic environment. It’s been scientifically proven that cancer cells cannot grow in an alkaline environment. Learn what foods like sugar, create an imbalance in your pH and how to replace them with other nutrient dense foods.
November 8 - Raising Healthy kids. You are what you eat – are you raising a ding dong?
America’s children are eating poorly, exercising less, and getting bigger; 18.3% of young Americans are obese. The good news? Independent market research firm Harris Interactive research showed that 3% of Americans ages 8 to 18 are vegetarians — meaning they do not eat meat, poultry or fish but may consume eggs and dairy.
Some kids are becoming vegan and haven’t a clue what to do and their health suffers. Could you identify nutritional deficiencies in your children’s food choices?
November 15 - Scrape off the spackle, true Beauty Comes from Within
You can use all the spackle on earth, but the most honest beauty is a result of what you place into your Holy Temple. Everything you place into your often indiscriminate mouth leaves either a good or bad mark. Garbage in-garbage out.
Learn to use the Mother Nature’s cosmetic section to chip away the patina of toxic chemicals and rendered animal parts used in the cosmetic. Unleash your natural beauty.
November 22 - Healthy Holidays – Put down the gravy boat and step away
Ugh. The holidays are just around the corner and the “I won’t take ‘no’ for an answer,’ gorging season begins. Seems during holidays we lose all resolve and cave to six of Aunt Mary Ruth’s creamy Buckeyes and 2 slices of Grandmas’ Pecan Pie drowning in corn syrup and Cool Whip.
We’re human and tend to cheat on special occasions. However, there are ways to lighten up your holiday favorites and =no one will be able to tell the difference. We will take Holiday standards, use alternate ingredients, so your family can still enjoy their traditions.
November 29 - Season Fall Food Fare – Pumpkins, gourds and apples, Oh My!
Are you a locavore? Sooner than later, Hoosiers need to eat with the seasons and support the local community resources for bread, honey, cheese, wine, fermented foods, mushrooms, and canned foods or whatever goods are coming in from the family farmers and artisans.
The carbon footprint and exorbitant costs of fresh foods shipped from 2000 miles away will raise the cost of food so high we’ll be forced to return to a Pre-industrial revolution mentality and eat and store what’s available each season. So, let’s return to the olden times and visit the future of food.
What you eat becomes a physical part of you; who you are. Your body will reward you with glowing health, wealth, and joy.
December 6 - Building Immunity – its not too soon to get immune
Just as you would your home, do you winterize your clan?
Immunity, our internal mercenary, is eager to take on any task. It’s our earth suit’s Department of Defense. The physician within provides us protection from internal hazards such as cancerous cells, arteriosclerotic plaque, cholesterol deposits and free radicals. Food is its fuel, so quality is vital. That’s what we’ll focus upon.
So, there it is folks, our upcoming schedule. We would love to have you join us and as always, space is limited!
Blissful Blessings to you!
Chef Audrey & Chef Wendell
