More from the Raw Food Living Light Expo.

Here’s why I think this is one of the best raw food events out there:

Organization: Dan Ladermann and Cherie Soria have this Expo thing nailed. Everything went off as planned and on time. About 2 days into it, I asked Dan if there were any glitches… and he told me that the only thing that he’s had to deal with were happy people and a 5-10 minute delay at one event because there was an audio issue. They run a tight ship and it shows. I couldn’t even begin to organize something this well oiled. I’d ask them to plan an event when we do one!

Quality of Speakers: The speakers are all high class and well known in the field, which makes the experience more than 10X worth the money. (The event for 3 days was just under $200 for 2008.)

Accessibility: Because of the structure of the event and the open cafe area, the speakers are easy to speak to and meet. This is a great way to talk to some of your favorite authors and get to know them. Everyone seems willing to talk. I also met a bunch of great RHTV fans! (Thanks Yo, Joy, Marina, Mary, Petra, Dorothy, Shea, Stephen, Marie, Terri, Barbara, Bob, Diane, Scott, Stacy, Grant, Alan, Ron, Annie, Dana, Matty, Sarah and everyone else… I tried to remember all the names, but it’s 11:54 PST right now and I’m a little foggy!)

Location: Ft. Bragg a great setting for this event. It’s small, quaint and there’s access to awesome beach cliffs and state parks for hiking and running. When you go, be sure to book a few extra days to explore the area!

Great Food: The Living Light Cafe has food available (for purchase) that is vegan and raw. It’s also awesome. You can get desserts, snacks, smoothies, juices and anything else as well. We had most of our meals here to not only get the great food, but hang out in the “courtyard” and talk to everyone! There’s also an amazing restaurant just 10-15 minutes south called “The Ravens”. It has vegan and raw options… it’s super expensive, but 100% worth the money!

Great Crowd: The people who attended were down to earth and just a blast to be around. It’s really a friendly and exciting environment. Everyone was smiling… and if they weren’t chances are they were locals, not event attendees!

So… what does all this mean? Consider experiencing it for yourself… we are going again next year! I told Dan I wanted to buy my tickets for 2009 before I left!

Oh yeah… the show… Enjoy!

Today we’re going to show you how to eliminate that tight, stiff feeling in your lower back and hips that make you feel about as flexible as a railroad tie. (Railroad ties are notoriously inflexible )

In this episode, Annmarie is doing the demonstration, since many of you liked that last week! Also I take on the challenge that a few of your offered and do some V-Ups. (Thought I couldn’t do ‘em huh?!)

Take a watch now…

Just wanted to tell you about 3 events that are coming up in the raw food world… (We’ll be at two of them)

(1) Living Light Expo in Ft. Bragg, CA from August 22nd – 24th – This event is hosted by Cherie Soria and Dan Ladermann at the Living Light Culinary School. I had a chance to talk to Dan this week and Annmarie and I are thrilled to be going to this unique and intimate event. Enrollment is only $195 (as of today) which is literally a steal of a price. (There will only be about 300-400 people there!) This event is extremely affordable and is regarded by many as the premier raw food event. Please take a look now and check it out… flights to Sacramento and San Fran look to be about $250-300 right now, so it’s not that expensive!

(2) Raw and Living Spirit Festival in Molalla, Oregon from August 26-29th - This event has some awesome speakers as well and will be in beautiful Oregon! We won’t be here this year, but Doug Graham, Victoria Boutenko and more will!

(3) Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona, Arizona from September 12-14th - This event is like the Woodstock of raw food. A bunch of fun and a bunch of activity. If you’re an ADD type like me, you’ll love this atmosphere in amazing Sedona. It’s our first time there, so we are really looking forward!

Maybe we’ll see you at one of these?

And if we do, please come up and introduce yourself… we’d love to meet you!

Live Awesome!
