If you want to learn how you can translate your tempting favourite cooked foods into delicious raw favourites, then this call is definitely for you.  Cherie will be giving away the secrets as to where it all starts.  If this hasn't convinced you enough, then see if these ten points you will leave the call knowing will:

Teleclasses - What You Need to Know

We've been running the Raw Food Leader Teleclasses since February 2006 now, and very enjoyable and successful they've been too!

Our first guest speaker was Victoria Boutenko, then Rene Archner from Germany/NZ, then last month Elaine Bruce and now, next week Paul Nison (see last post).

Every month we are featuring one of the world's leading authorities speaking on one of their favourite subjects of the moment, and they really are superb value.

Benefits of booking on a Raw Food Leader Teleclass:

1) Whether you are in the UK or abroad, usually 8pm our time works well for most people. For instance, those working to American EST time are just 5 hours behind us, so it's 3pm there, and those at PST are 8 hours behind us, so it's noon there.

2) The calls cost just 10 UK pounds each, or 9 UK pounds for those with a Fresh Network Discount Card. This equates to roughly $14 US. For this you get to listen to the presenter live from the comfort of your armchair via your own home telephone and as well as listening to approximately 35-40 minutes of live lecturing from our features speaker, you also get to ask your own questions and take advantage of the free bonuses announced at the end of the call. Now that's value!

3) If you can't make a call, for the same price as the teleclass itself you can purchase a downloadable recording of the call, typically within a week of the teleclass taking place. You can purchase these online here.

4) If you prefer to read rather than listen, we also have each and every call professionally transcribed into an emailable booklet which costs just 6 UK pounds. This is usually available within 2 weeks of the call taking place and is also available from The Fresh Network Online Shop.

5) And if you'd like both the recording AND the transcript, you can purchase the package for 14.99 UK pounds for both items when purchased together.

Here’s Paul’s own words on what he will be discussing:

Raw Food - Why Wouldn't You?

Karen: Emma and I are busy finalising all the details for the Raw Food Leader Teleclasses for the rest of the year. We have a great line up ahead for every single month, with Paul Nison speaking with us live in just under 2 weeks on Wednesday 17th May, and then Cherie Soria four weeks later in June.

All the teleclasses between now and December are looking FANTASTIC, and you'll be able to read details on here about Paul's call in the next few days. In the meantime, if you'd like to find out more about what these teleclasses are (I didn't know what a teleclass was until a year ago and was more than a little wary, but now I LOVE them!), then you can read all about them by clicking here.

Cherie has just submitted her photo to accompany her call information, and, seriously, after looking at what raw food can mean in the photo above, it really does beg the question, Why wouldn't you?
