Cleansing, the Alkaline way

This is an excerpt from an article which appears in the Summer 2013 issue of Get Fresh!, on sale June 3rd. Go here to subscribe

(See below for information about the upcoming Free Acid/Alkaline Breakthrough Webinar)

Raw food expert Tanya Alekseeva explains why and how we can attain balance in our lives 

When I first began coaching clients through to their transition to raw foods and supporting them during detoxification, it quickly became very obvious that each and every single person – man or woman graduating or retiring, rich or wishing they were, single or not – had one thing in common: wanting to feel good. 

No matter where they came from or what goals they came to me with – to not feel sick and sore for a day – they all simply wanted to feel good. 

Is that too much to ask for? And why do we all strive for the same result? 

Interview with Anthony Anderson

Performed by Vitality Planet especially for The Fresh Network Blog

As he delved deeper into the holistic lifestyle, Anthony Anderson discovered the joys and profundity of gardening and realized that this just may be the panacea that will help heal humanity and planet Earth. Anthony's mission is to inspire others to plant paradise on the planet once again. He has founded www.GrowParadise.com to help inspire others to do just that: to grow their own food and create a paradise planet here and now. 'Grow Paradise' inspired projects are already underway internationally.

Cherry picked for modelling at 18, Anthony Anderson has been in constant demand as an international model since the age of 23. In his quest to hone his physique for his profession, Anthony came across Raw Food Nutrition - a huge change from the diet of processed foods he was raised on.

Delighted with the immediate positive physical changes, Anthony was also astonished to experience profound bursts of energy, happiness and mental clarity through his change of diet. His ongoing experience and success is documented on his hugely popular website www.rawmodel.com; his videos, which to date have been viewed 517,073 times on YouTube, and The Anthony Anderson show. He is also available for modelling ethically produced clothing.

Anthony now interweaves modelling with his greatest passion: spreading ideas and awareness about sustainable living and the growing of Paradise on Earth, through his project 'Grow Paradise' (www.growparadise.com).

Describe what you do in 2-4 sentences if that is at all possible?

Being based primarily in NYC, I use modelling and acting to help me raise funds for my three passions in life - eating amazing organic food, travelling the world, and planting forest gardens. I founded www.rawmodel.com and www.GrowParadise.com to help spread that passion of green living and paradise creation via the web through blogs and videos.

World's first ethical fashion awards ceremony

By Sarah Best.

The world's first ethical fashion awards ceremony, the RE:FASHION awards, took place in London last night. The venue was stunning Shoreditch Town Hall, looking all magical bedecked with Christmas lights. Chad Sarno and his team at nearby Saf restaurant catered the event and The Fresh Network was a proud sponsor, providing raw ingredients for the sumptuous spread.

You can read about the awards here, and about why ethics in fashion are so important here. The evening was rounded off with an after-party at Saf, where mini slices of raw cake circulated on platters, including a cheesecake on a lucuma crust with a divine cashew cream containing what tasted and felt like - and this is the clincher - a piece of rose Turkish delight! It was so unlike any raw dessert I've ever experienced before that naturally I had to try several slices to make sure I wasn't imagining this, and now I can confirm. It really did. Amazing stuff!

Juice Yourself Slim with the Juice Master himself!

We're excited to tell you about a unique event we are honoured to be promoting, which we believe will be truly life-changing for those who attend it. Although you can buy tickets from us, this is not a Fresh Network event; it is being hosted and organized by the Juice Master team and features the Master himself, Mr Jason Vale (pictured), best-selling author and top speaker on the subjects of health, healing and all things juicy.

This fabulous one-off event is called Juice Yourself Slim and takes place in London on June 14. This is the first time Jason has combined the very best of his techniques and teachings in a one-day seminar, and it is the only event of its kind he will be holding this year. This is your chance to spend the day with like-minded people and find out how to use the power of freshly extracted raw juice from fruit and vegetables to help you live a fitter, more vibrant and juicier life! For more details of the day's itinerary, go here.

Jason has also written a book of the same name, due to be released in the UK on June 2. We received our advance copy last week and we can tell you that if the seminar is anything like as brilliant as the book, it is worth the investment in time and money many times over!

The raw chef's dinner party training experience

Russell James is arguably the UK's most talented raw chef. If you haven't tasted his food yet, you are missing out!

He presided over The Fresh Network's raved-about series of raw dinner parties last year.

Now he is offering you the chance to learn his secrets.

Over to Russell...

"Do you have someone you’d like to impress?

Do you have friends that think ‘eating raw’ means limp lettuce, carrot sticks and apple?

Do you have a partner you’d really like to be more into raw food, to share your journey, even if it’s only every once in a while?

Let’s face it, we have all faced at least one or more of these situations, and if it’s something that’s hot for you in your life now, then I’ve got another question for you:

Would you like to spend a day with me and other like-minded people, in an intimate 1-day class, showing you how to wow friends and family with an amazing raw dinner party, and then have the day topped off with a 3 course gourmet raw dinner party with your new friends?

Surely it doesn’t get any better than that, does it?

That’s the opportunity available to you and a limited number of people on Saturday 10th November. I’m inviting you to come and visit us in the beautiful Cathedral City of Chichester, to a beautiful converted barn, set against the South Downs, with the white towers of Glorious Goodwood on the horizon."

Raw Spirit Festival - Exploring Sedona and photos

The main outdoor stage at the Raw Spirit Festival. All of these photos were taken by Mark Conrad, so a big thanks to him for so generously sharing them. Unfortunately, when I was preparing for the trip I failed to do anything so left-brain as remember my digital camera and USB cable... : ) I managed to pack five pairs of shoes though ; )

At the Get Fresh stand with our Canadian distributors Janette and Alan of Zen Zero, an optimum health centre in Courtenay, British Columbia. We shipped 1,000 copies of Get Fresh to the festival and sold 990. Many who bought it were doing so for the first time and there was clearly some serious bedtime reading going on, as on days two and three people kept stopping me to say how much they were enjoying it!   

 

This is Cafe Raw Bliss in Sedona, where we had lunch on our last day. I'd have happily had one of everything on the menu. Until we drove out here all I had seen of Sedona was the one mile stretch of highway between my hotel and the festival. That was wild wild west whereas other parts were just like being in a cartoon!

With Raw Food Coach Karen Knowler (left). She had a coconut smoothie, a carrot and ginger soup and a spirulina salad. I had a 'Garden Of Eden' salad and a big ole slice of banana cream pie. The cake counter at this place was something else and out back they had a chocolate room. And a cute little garden with wheatgrass instead of flowers on the tables.

 

Lunched up and full of life force, here we are outside the cafe with photographer Mark.

Then, with little over an hour until we had to head back to Phoenix to fly home we hiked up to the Cathedral Rock vortex. There is information about Sedona's energy vortexes here. I used to naively believe anything anyone told me, the crazier and more 'new age' the better. Not anymore. Call me a sceptic but when I read that some of the vortexes have masculine energy and some feminine I burst out laughing.

After a half hour climb, as we sat looking over at the view you see in this photo, we all agreed we felt a subtle pulse of energy. I felt it actually in my body and it could have been the result of the rapid ascent. But as this feeling was different from what I feel after a workout in the gym, it was more likely to have been the altitude than the exertion; Sedona itself is at 4,500 feet even before you start climbing. Did I feel energised after my vortexperience? Yes, but I'm not sure what I felt was any different from what I feel any time I am in an area of breathtaking natural beauty. So the jury's still out for me...

The question on everyone's lips now is: as the raw food revolution continues apace, what will the Raw Spirit Festival look like next year and will there be a venue large enough to continue it in Sedona? Already this year it took on Woodstockian proportions and as all of us in this field can tell, this is just the start. The next Raw Spirit Festival will be in September 2008. See you there!
