> WHAT:

>

> Raw Food Basics for the Home With a Teaching Component.

> CERTIFICATION COURSE

>

> This is the week that will teach you how to live the healthy

> lifestyle while actually living it. Pre-requisite: a large

> interest. Designed for all beginners, with a focus on food prep

> for the home, and also good for beginners who are interested

> in eventually teaching. Length of time: 7 days.

>

> Due to popular demand, this course is designed to be an

> excellent first step if you would like to teach. The original

> intention for this course was to be geared towards the homemaker,

> housewife, single man or woman who wants to live easily and

> joyously at 50% to 100% raw in their daily life. But a great many

> people have stated that they want to learn more about raw food, and

> that someday they would be interested in teaching it. Because of

> this interest, this will be a certificate course in beginning raw

> food prep and for those who are interested in eventually teaching

> raw food prep classes, a certificate in Preliminary Teaching Skills

> for Raw Food Prep.

>

> I will be assisted during this week by the very talented and able

> Lynda Carter of Petersburg VA, who is an excellent raw food chef

> and teacher in her own right.

>

> This course will cover (but is not limited to): fasting, juicing,

> sprouting, exercise, attitude, foraging, detoxifying, dehydrating,

> internal cleansing, equipment. Preparation of the following raw

> foods: Breakfast foods, lunch foods, dinner items and snack foods,

> this will include juices,salads, soups, smoothies, dressings,

> sauces, burgers, sauerkraut,loaves, pates, crackers, desserts,

> party foods and more! What to dowhen eating out. Travel foods.

> Teaching style will be both demonstration and hands-on.

> Plenty of Question and Answer time will be included.

>

> Pre-Requisites

> When you attend Hippocrates Health Institute, Optimum Health

> Institute or one of the other raw food retreat centers, you have

> three weeks to be exposed to a lot of information. Since we will be

> taking only 5-7 days-In order for the group to benefit the most

> there are some pre-requisites. Do not expect to arrive knowing

> absolutely nothing.

>

> Pre-Requisites: a thorough reading of and familiarity with my book,

> The Raw Gourmet. Familiarity with several other raw food related

> books of your choice, perhaps some of Ann Wigmore's work, Brian

> Clement, Bernard Jensen, or some of the contemporary writers of

> today. Some experience or attempts at raw food prep for yourself or

> your family-the more experience you have the better for a good

> learning experience while here. A willing attitude.

>

> This is a class and it will revolve around food preparation with

> discussion of other aspects of this lifestyle from therapeutic to

> gourmet. This is not designed as a cleansing or detoxifying

> retreat. If you are ill this is not the place to come. The sky is

> the limit here in terms of what it is you can learn. The clearer

> you are about where you have been and where you want to go, the

> better the experience will be for you. If you know that somehow you

> want to make a living in this general area but have just a little

> bit of experience, then this is the group for you.

>

> All descriptions are subject to modification and change depending

> on the needs and wishes of the group, stated both before and during

> the retreats. In other words, individual needs will strongly

> influence forming compatible groups and will affect what is covered

> during the retreats. It is the goal of The Raw Gourmet to meet as

> many of each individual person's needs as possible in a group

> setting. This workshop will include guest teachers.

>

> Nomi's Background:

> Author of the best selling raw food recipe, information and

> resource book The Raw Gourmet (© Alive Books, 1999), Nomi Shannon

> lives in Sedona, AZ. Nomi is planning 5-7 day raw food intensive

> workshops to be held in her home, and has begun her next raw food

> book, Simply Raw. A raw fooder since 1987, Nomi was the Health

> Educator Program coordinator at the famed Hippocrates Health

> Institute in West Palm Beach Florida, where she worked for

> approximately five years. In 1999, her best-selling book, The Raw

> Gourmet, was published by Alive Books. Now working on her 2nd and

> 3rd books, Nomi is a well-known raw food chef, teacher and

> consultant.

>

> As the Health Educator Coordinator and Program Counselor at

> Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach Florida, Nomi

> scheduled 9 consecutive weeks of classes and was responsible for

> all aspects of the program. Well suited to providing an informative

> and motivating time at her beautiful home in Sedona, Arizona

> -Nomi's kitchen will easily accommodate a large group of people,

> and there is much to see and do in Sedona itself.

>

> Note from Nomi:

> Please email or mail me to tell me as much about yourself as you

> would care to, and most important, tell me everything you would

> like to learn during this time with me. This will take some

> thought. Ask yourself what would I like to get out of a week that

> is devoted to learning all about the raw food lifestyle? Please

> include your full name, full mailing address, and phone number and

> email address. My snail mail address is: The Raw Gourmet, PO Box

> 21097, Sedona AZ 86341. I prefer email when possible. If you have

> already sent me this information in the past, no need to, I have

> saved it. But do contact me to let me know if you can come in June.

>

>

> The Rest of the details:

> I can accomodate about 4-6 people in my home, more if you can bring

> a sleeping bag and a good attitude. (There are several sofas inside

> and chaise lounges outside if you want to sleep under the stars

> upon which you can place your sleeping bag; using the floor won't

> be necessary.) You will be considered a guest in my home. There is

> no charge for your overnight stays in my home. The fee is entirely

> for the classes you will be attending. The initial 4-6 people that

> sign up for a Raw Gourmet class will be offered a place to stay in

> my home; all others will need to make arrangements nearby at their

> own expense. I will help you obtain suitable housing in the area.

> For those who prefer more privacy or solitude there is a lovely bed

> and breakfast a short walk from my home that I can put you in touch

> with. The fees for the classes will remain the same.

>

> Those who desire certification will be required to attend all

> classes.

>

> What a Raw Gourmet Retreat held in my home is not: my home is not a

> clinic. This is not a week for cleansing and detoxifying. Enemas

> and colemics are not acceptable while you are here. So that you

> will not experience detoxifying symptoms while taking the Raw

> Gourmet class, if you are not used to eating raw food, it will be

> up to you to prepare for several weeks prior to arriving by eating

> 75-100% raw food. I will help you with this by telephone. During

> your week here, if you undergo detoxifying symptoms and choose to

> leave the class before the week is up, no money will be refunded

> under any circumstances. Certification can only be rewarded to

> those who attend all the classes. There will be time for walks,

> massage and other kinds of relaxation built in to the schedule.

> (This paragraph does not apply to the advanced teachers course. If

> you are not already eating 100% or at least 75% raw food, then you

> are not ready to take the advanced course.)

>

> Fee Structure: $1200 for the class if booked by May 15. $1400 for

> class if booked after May 15. No exceptions can be made in fee

> structure. If you stay at my home, there is no charge for that, it

> is free; you will be my guest. If you stay elsewhere, either a

> local home or a local Inn, there will be a commensurate fee. (You

> need to let me know at the time of reservation if you plan to stay

> at my home. There will be people who will not be able to attend if

> they can't stay here for free, so once the commitment is made I

> would appreciate no changes.)

>

> A 50% deposit is due upon booking and 50% the day of arrival. A

> $120 fee will be incurred for all cancellations prior to 14 days

> before class begins (May 31). Deposits become non-refundable 15

> days prior to first day of scheduled class (May 31). Visa and

> Mastercard or personal checks are accepted. While late reservations

> may be possible if there is room, if enough people don't book

> initially the class may never be held. I retain the right to cancel

> a class if minimum reservations are not made, with full refund to

> you. So, don't hold back on making a reservation for June 13-19,

> 2004. This could result in not getting what you want! Early

> reservations are encouraged to ensure that the class will take

> place as scheduled. Conversely, I need to limit the number of

> people in each class, so first come, first served.

>

> I am going to ask that your initial query to me about the above

> class be in writing. It will be far too difficult for me to talk to

> as many people as may initially be interested right after this

> email letter goes out. Email me at nomi.

> TO BOOK YOUR PLACE IN THIS CLASS WITH A 50% DEPOSIT, PLEASE CALL

> 888-316-4611 OR 928-284-3201.

>

> Sent to you with much love and in anticipation of a really

> wonderful class customized for you. This has been a dream of mine

> for a long time and I am thrilled to be able to finally be able to

> offer this.

> Best wishes. Love and Hugs. Really. I'm so excited. Write. Think.

> Dream.
