East Bay Living Foods Potluck in Sat 9/22

[Guest guest]

EAST BAY LIVING FOODS SEPTEMBER POTLUCK

 

Mark your calendar! This month's potluck is on

Saturday, September 21st. The potluck begins at 6:15

p.m. in Alameda. We encourage you to bring food so

there is enough for all. If you haven't been to a

potluck before, perhaps bring organic fruit or a green

salad. Also, check out recipes on

www.living-foods.com, a great living/raw foods

resource. More guidelines about food follow in this

announcement.

 

The potluck is at 6:15 p.m. at 1300 Grand Street (at

Alameda Avenue) in the Garden Cottage BEHIND the Home

of Truth Spiritual Center. Go though the gate off of

Alameda Avenue to get to the cottage.

 

We are pleased to have Jon Cotton speak on Unlimited

Vitality Through Optimal Nutrition, Cleansing and

Natural Lifestyle. Jon is one of the original

raw/living foods members of the East Bay Living Foods

Community and believes that 95% of everything we've

been taught about nutrition is a lie. Jon has studied

health and nutrition extensively and has modeled what

he's learned in his own life. He also integrates an

energetic understanding of the body from 15 years as a

teacher of meditation, intuition and clairvoyance.

Jon runs Total Health Secrets, a premier source of

alternative health and nutrition information and

products, specializing in herbal cleansing and

detoxification programs. He has synthesized his

research into a simple system which is easy to

understand and apply, utilizing the knowledge and

techniques of naturopathic medicine, natural hygiene,

food combining, cleansing, visualization, breathwork,

and aeorbic exercise. For more information about Jon,

see his website at www.thefirewithin.com.

 

GUIDELINES FOR THE POTLUCK: We request that EACH

person bring a dish to serve about eight to ten people

(if there are two of you, bring enough to serve 16 to

20). With a dish there is a $3.00 donation. Without

a dish it is $8.00. No one will be turned away for

lack of funds. Money is used to cover our expenses of

rent, cups, utensils, plates, phone line, fliers,

business cards, etc. (It is ecologically beneficial

if you remember to bring your own RECYCLABLE PLATE.)

 

 

GUIDELINES FOR FOOD are: raw, organic (at least

pesticide/herbicide-free), vegetarian (vegan -- no

animal products). Please make sure everything is well

washed. Nothing cooked, steamed, baked or otherwise

heated above 110 degrees (no maple syrup as it is

boiled; no tofu; no chocolate). If in doubt, leave it

out. We ask that you clearly label your dish at the

potluck if it contains HONEY (raw, unheated honey)

because some vegans do not eat honey as it is

considered an animal product. Dried fruit (dates,

apricots, figs, etc.) blended with a little water

makes an excellent sweetener for recipes. Check out

www.living-foods.com for recipes if you haven't taken

any raw food preparation classes yet.
