Due to the COVID restrictions my RAW & FERMENTED CLASS PROGRAM for 2020 has been reduced significantly. :-( Instead of offering 2 of each of the classes, I am now ONLY offering 1 of each. WHICH MEANS that there is only 5 spaces left for this years FERMENTED PLANT-BASED CHEEZED CLASS This class is a very specialized class & is helpful if you have had previous fermenting experience. We learn to make very creamy, spreadable cheezes with many flavour options as well as a firmer, rinded cheeze which lean more to a cheddar variety. Each of these processes involve traditional forms of fermentation & coagulation WITHOUT using any DAIRY SUBSTRATES. The processes are incredibly straight-forward but require some understanding, guidance as well as a recipe . To sit in a class & watch the whole process unfold before your eyes is really such a gift & prepares you for a life time of cheeze making! You will receive many taste tests throughout the day with a few lovely surprises thrown in along the way. Also LUNCH is provided. You maybe 1 of the lucky 5 who join our class this coming August 2nd.

I just wanted to remind you of the important place BEET KVASS has in rebooting & restoring all of your organs from the place of LIVER HEALTH & MICROBIOME HEALTH. BEETROOTS ARE RENOWNED FOR SUPPORTING LIVER FUNCTION BEET KVASS is made primarily from BEETROOTS... MOST IMPORTANTLY - & I mean IMPORTANT!!!!! BEET KVASS IS A FERMENTED BEETROOT TONIC - pro-biotics!! This takes the POWER OF BEETROOTS & it's action on the LIVER to a whole other level. So if you are wanting to SUPPORT THE ACTIVATION & CLEANSING of your body systems in this Spring time - you can do many wonderful things - & drinking BEETROOT KVASS is one of them.

14.01.2022 Our MICROBIOME is an ARMS RACE A competitive acquisition between the BENEFICIAL MICROBES & the NOT-SO-BENEIFICIAL. WHO WIN'S DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON: - how we were born (C-section or Natural birth) - how we live (generally)... - chemical exposure (pharmaceutical drugs & pesticides etc) - what we eat - our contact with the Natural world We are a complex web & must understand that the EVOLUTION OF HUMANS has relied on our CO-EXISTENCE with the MICROBIAL WORLD. We can also be a 'free-lunch' for microbes & viruses who are READY TO TAKE UP A COSY RESIDENCE in our body at any opportune time. Can you imagine their joy - free food, water, warmth etc, perfect conditions to reproduce & knock off the good guys!! They generally do this when US (the host) is weakened. Eg. Not sleeping well Stressed Poor Diet Immune breakdown Toxicity As we age we acquire an INFECTIOUS LOAD, so how do we combat this? It's all about improving our OWN IMMUNE DEFENCES by providing our body with the RAW MATERIALS. Eg. CLEAN WATER & FOOD CULTURED FOODS ADEQUATE SLEEP for your needs EXERCISE, MOVEMENT EARTHING - skin to skin contact with the Earth everyday, via barefoot walking, gardening, swimming in the ocean etc. Pretty simple really & pretty much common sense. I can tell you that the way you wake up in the morning & how you feel will tell you a great deal about your GUT HEALTH. When we LIVE A NATURAL LIFE - & we address the GUT IMBALANCE by adjusting what we eat & drink & bring in CULTURED FOODS to rebuild the PROGRAM - within 2-3 months you begin to feel unbelievably different. It can often start with simply beginning your day with a 1/4 cup of BEET KVASS - A SIMPLE INCLUSION of something like Beet Kvass every morning & night, along WITH THE INTENTION OF RECLAIMING YOUR JOY & ENERGY often leads to the next step & the next shift. YEP, SIMPLE AS THAT. It can lead the way! BOTTOMS UP to GUT HEALTH ;-) We have fridges full of the most stunning BEET KVASS & Cultured veggies in your local store: Little Green Grocer The Organik Store & Cafe Moana Natural Health & Organics Maxwell's grocery hemp hemp hooray!

13.01.2022 Giving thanks for this beautiful day And giving thanks for BEET KVASS starting it off in an amazing way A day of presence & gratitude Happy Sun-day my friends X

12.01.2022 Adding LIFE back into your LIFE If I could bottle PURE ENERGY - I reckon I would have a pretty successful product? Pure energy with no side effects, no 'come down', no highs & lows - just pure energy which the body utilizes like burning clean renewable fuel to run a car or home. We have 4 energy centres in the body which PRODUCE ENERGY for us. (we actually have more than this)... - The GUT/digestion/calories - Mitochondria/ ATP - ADRENALS - Adrenalin, Cortisol etc - THYROID gland - T3 & T4 & Calcitonin And we know if we experience any of these systems collapsing we feel TERRIBLE - we struggle with energy BIG TIME. These 4 systems are integral in the SYMPHONY of us 'humming' our way through life. BUT we generally care more about our CAR being serviced or our INTERNET connection working than we do OURSELVES working SO ADDING LIFE BACK IN IS EASY. - DRINK OUR BEET KVASS (or drink your own which you make ;-) ) - a powerful gut & nutrient tonic!!!! - EAT LIVING CULTURED FOODS from (us) or a LOCAL ARTISAN MAKER - WALK BAREFOOT on our EARTH (living conductor - donating FREE ELECTRONS into our bodies to reduce inflammation & literally CHARGE our body. The first thing you notice when your bare feet touch the Earth's surface, is you TAKE A DEEP BREATH IN. CONNECTION - BOOM. - ORGANIC SEASONAL FOOD - colourful food. (no brainer) - DRINK LIVING SPRING WATER (or CLEAN, maturely structured water) - COLONIC IRRIGATIONS with Kate Gardener from Bottoms Up Colonics Southern Vales - EXERCISE - get your heart beating & oxygenate your blood. Walking up hills, in beach sand, swimming, dancing, cycling, jumping on a rebounder etc - SLEEPING GROUNDED - www.earthingoz.com.au - TURN OF YOUR WIFI every night before bed - prevents cell annihilation while you are sleep and instead MEANT TO BE RECOVERING. - GOOD SLEEP PRACTICES - recharge - LAUGHING SO MUCH, YOUR SIDES ACHE - PUTTING YOUR FAVOURITE MUSIC ON & DANCING - MAKE CHOICES WHICH TRULY HONOUR YOU. <3 I think we underestimate how much a compromised life causes a compromised life experience. AND - we get lazy. FEEL ALIVE AGAIN - when we feel alive we feel inspired, we feel productive, creative - of VALUE - connected & JOYFILLED. When we feel the opposite, we feel so uninspired & disconnected & unhappy. These are SOME SIMPLE IDEAS TO IMPLEMENT & every single one of them makes a difference to the way we feel. Sending reminders & love from us here at 'The Hood' The CultureHood Remedy, Kristy & Sienna For Beet Kvass stockists; www.theculturehood.com.au For Sourdough Buckwheat Artisan bread & local Milk Kefir; https://asimplysienna.wixsite.com/website

12.01.2022 MY LIFE AS AN EDUCATOR I have been called passionate once or twice....passionately opinionated too ;-) Most importantly, I bring my passion to the things I teach :-) Bringing passion to something you know to be true & wonderful is easy. To be passionate about something is a lived & felt experience, you cannot 'pretend' passion.... It's something which pours from your very being, almost untamed, unedited & exciting. I am ALWAYS excited about what I share because when it is LIVED & practiced, it makes a difference in our lives. Sometimes, all we need is someone with a bit more experience & confidence to 'hold our hand' & take us from 'thinking' about doing something to actually 'DOING' it. Which is why I am a big fan of TEACHING PRACTICAL CLASSES which are demonstration based. It allows everyone to observe, smell, taste, engage, take notes, ask questions & most importantly be INSPIRED :-) On Sunday, October 4th I am running the ONE & ONLY RAW FOOD STAPLES Class for 2020. It is 'the bomb' & many many people who have attended this class over the years attest to using many of these recipes as - "YES" :-) - STAPLES in their daily lives. Cause that's what this class is all about!! BASICS EVERYDAY HINTS PRACTICAL FOODS & IDEAS SHORT CUTS UNLOCKED NUTRITION made easily available FOOD WHICH HAS PANTRY LIFE or FRIDGE LIFE (so there is built in convenience to these recipes) TECHNIQUE You don't need massive amounts of kitchen skills nor do you even need to be massively interested in preparing food at all - just motivated to learn some basics so that you can TAKE CARE OF SOME OF THE FUNDAMENTALS in your life. And I promise, long term, you will save so much money!!!! This class also provides many beautiful taste tests & treats. RECIPES, HERBAL ORGANIC TEA & ME ;-) To book your spot, simply go to: www.remedybliss.com/classes

10.01.2022 INTRODUCING GOLDEN BEETROOT KVASS - for those who have not experienced her beauty Here (pic below) is what is locked inside every bottle of GOLDEN KVASS - it is another kind of magic which is different to our bottles of RED BEET KVASS. In our home we have a bottle of RED KVASS & a bottle of GOLDEN KVASS on the go simultaneously :-P We alternate their bounty - whether you are currently having just one shot per day or 2 or 3 shots per day.... Consider interacting with the benefits of both of these remarkable PROBIOTIC TONICS by swapping between both bottles as you consume them. We often focus on the LIVING PROBIOTICS when eating or drinking cultured foods BUT DON'T FORGET that they are also really important GAP FILLERS when it comes to nutrition! So many people take SUPPLEMENTS to fill in antioxidants or minerals etc that they may (most definitely) be missing in their diets - our BEET KVASS is one of the prime-movers in this area. AND IT'S NOT A PILL - it's a living LIQUID - which means our blood stream soaks up this BIO- AVAILABLE BANQUET in 20min. BOOOOOOM!!! The blood stream does what blood does (our RIVER SYSTEM) & carries it to EVERY CELL IN OUR BODY - So next time you are sipping your BEET KVASS - remember it's NOT JUST ABOUT SEEDING YOUR MICROBIOME - it's also about THE OTHER BUILDING BLOCKS which these bottles of unlocked liquid nutrition provide so exquisitely to YOU & ME - so that we can be WELL-BEINGS. We have just bottled our latest batch of this LIQUID GOLD. OUR STOCKISTS ARE WONDERFUL & I am sure you know who they are <3 Find out which store is closest to you by checking out the pics & list on our website www.theculturehood.com.au OR PICK UP YOUR BOTTLES THIS SATURDAY at the Willunga Farmers Market June 13th from 8am - 12.30pm Our stall is located near the ALMA PUB end of the market (of course the market is still spread out like brown's cows due to COVID REGULATIONS - praise the Lord!) Cannot wait to see our CULTUREHOOD COMMUNITY <3 It's been a while!! :-)

10.01.2022 Our BEET KVASS family is growing! - we have a NEW STOCKIST So perfectly positioned for anyone living in the Eastern Burbs NORWOOD HEALTH FOOD STORE, 164 (Rear) The Parade, (Coles Mall) And the weirdest thing is I worked in this very store about 33 years ago when I was a young Naturopathic student. Who would have thought - the cycles of life hey!!... Norwood health Foods owner, Vanessa is divine - she has invited us on board & is keen to experience the CULTURED LIFE journey with us, fully understanding the profound gifts living FERMENTED FOODS bring into our body. Vanessa's staff are awesome too - & come with heaps of knowledge in the area of health & nutrition. To celebrate our new home, if you become Norwood Health Foods very first BEET KVASS CUSTOMER - YOUR FIRST BOTTLE IS A GIFT. Be sure to pop in & share your own love & passion for cultured foods - you never know their wonderful range may grow even more!!! Please remember to ask for the FAQ'S anytime you purchase a bottle of BEET KVASS - this will help you understand how much to take as well as provide you with some more info. regarding the benefits. <3

08.01.2022 BEET KVASS HAS IT ALL <3 OUR BODIES ARE SPONGES FOR NUTRITION It is looking for nourishmentin everything we consume.... Pulling out everything which is useful to maintain, repair, operate & protect this fascinating GIFT we call our body. How can we expect OUR BODY to rise EVERYDAY & perform without those ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS? And yet it does - against all the odds - MODERN DIETS leave such a deficit in our daily needs & over time we run into trouble. It staggers me how many people & professionals DO NOT CONNECT DIET with BREAK DOWNS or CONDITIONS. We seem to be very quick to blame GENETICS or BAD LUCK. Very often it's 100% related to TOXICITY or DEFICIENCY or GUT ISSUES. SO WHEN YOU EAT - do you eat & drink with this in mind? Does your food MEET YOUR DAILY REQUIREMENTS? My approach to WELLNESS is not perfect - but what I do is live with a simple set of PARAMETRES & no matter what is going on - they don't change! One of the things which does not change in my life are my CULTURED FOODS - I eat or drink them daily! I swear to you THEY MAKE THE MOST AMAZING DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE. I don't know where I would be without them! And I know many of you feel the same! If I could recommend one FERMENT which offers it all - it is BEET KVASS - NUTRITION - in the most absorb-able form ENZYMES - in abundance PROBIOTICS - by the trillions (superhero strains) MICRO-NUTRIENTS - which are massively missing in our diets. LIFE FORCE - it is a living food. I think of BEET KVASS as a GAP FILLER in all of the ways mentioned above. So simple to include in ANYONE'S LIFE - from little children, teens (ok maybe not so simple ;-) ), unwell people, busy people, athletes, the most resistant - TRULY THERE IS NO NEED TO MISS OUT WHEN YOU ARE DRINKING BEET KVASS. Make it your go to - DAILY TONIC To pick up bottles of KVASS please check the WHERE TO BUY section on our little website: www.theculturehood.com.au OUR NEXT APPEARANCE at the Willunga Farmers Market is Saturday, June 13th We always have our FULL PROBIOTIC PANTRY for you to choose from :-P LOVE YOUR BODIES my friends - they are the most profound vehicle & need us to tune in <3

07.01.2022 BE SURE TO ADD SOMETHING CULTURED at every meal - :-P We are a small batch fermentation outfit, dedicated to making kick-ass ferments. Find us fortnightly at the Willunga Farmers Market (next market appearance 23rd May.... Or pick up from our wonderful stockists across Adelaide. WHERE TO BUY list on our website - :-) www.theculturehood.com.au

07.01.2022 OUTDOOR MARKETS are all about the elements. We turn up rain, hail or shine - which is what makes every market experience so unique. The FRESH AIR, SUNSHINE, BREEZE & sometimes HAIL - is not a deterrent!! Looks like we might be in for some Arctic temps this Saturday for the Willunga Farmers Market. But for those 'seasoned' shoppers - who prioritize FRESH, LOCAL, SEASONAL PRODUCE over perfect shopping conditions - we are always rewarded.... And the rewards are magnificent; -Greet the growers & producers -Connect with our community -Connect with SEASONAL produce (allows us to gauge our place in the seasonal cycle) -REAL FOOD - so crisp & vital it literally glows from the stalls. -We are OUTDOORS - yes in the elements - as a society we spend way too much time INDOORS. We are so proud of our Willunga Farmers Market - it was the second Farmers Market to be actualized in Australia - opened by one of my heroes Dr. David Suzuki. All FARMERS MARKETS are a gift to their communities. So come say "Hi" this Saturday........& really experience foraging for your food - one thing is for sure you will arrive home invigorated (especially as this Saturday forecast is 13C)

05.01.2022 WHAT A NOVEL IDEA - - BOOSTING ONE'S IMMUNE SYSTEM. FERMENTED FOODS ARE INTELLIGENT foods & have a rightful place in all of our lives. BRING THEM INTO YOUR LIFE my friends - they work to serve our health in the most magnificent way!!... We have literally EVOLVED WITH BACTERIA, but our EVER INCREASED SANITIZED & ISOLATED lives are reducing their numbers daily - & alarmingly with each subsequent generation this biological biodiversity is disappearing. WE ARE LOSING SPECIES OF SYMBIOTIC MICROBIAL LIFE FORMS ON & IN US, which we have co-evolved with over millennia, just like we are losing biological animal, plant, insect species on our planet. BIODIVERSITY is key to the strength of ALL HEALTHY ECO-SYSTEMS & we (humans) are designed to be BIO-DIVERSE ECO-SYSTEMS too. We are in fact more BACTERIAL SPECIES than we are HUMAN CELLS. Outnumbered 10:1 INCREASING MICROBIAL biodiversity happens easily when we interact with natural Eco-systems, spend time with animals, allow fresh air into our lived environs, eat organic, local, seasonal food as well as exercise out doors, achieve sound sleep & gobble Lacto-fermented foods!! It's not just one thing, it's all of the above. WHEN WE EAT FERMENTED FOODS WE ARE LITERALLY EATING ECO-SYSTEMS. When we eat a variety of fermented foods we continue to seed this vital GUT GARDEN with viable seeds, supporting, digesting, protecting & informing ALL OF OUR SYSTEMS. We are literally a symphony & the gut microbiome is the conductor Love to our beautiful growing CULTURED community - perhaps see you at the @Willunga Farmers Market this Saturday - <3 It's going to be freezing but we'll keep you warm with our glowing ferments & smiles.

05.01.2022 CREATE your own CULTURED FOOD BOWL - for the past 20 years of my life I have eaten various versions of these bowls for lunch or dinner! Ok, so sometimes in Winter my bowl may be filled with delicious SOUP :-P - nevertheless I still manage to include something fermented with my bowl of soup. The pic below has my Cauliflower soup served with ADZUKI BEAN PATÉ (a fermented bean paté) served on sourdough toast. (order your GRAINFREE SOURDOUGH loaf from Simply, Sienna) Adzu...ki bean paté is JUST ONE of the fermented foods I have the pleasure of choosing from in my life. This BRINGS in plant-based PROTEIN & due to being fermented - the protein is broken down into it's usable form, AMINO ACIDS!! Requires hardly any effort from the body to put the 29 Antioxidants, Protein, Enzymes, minerals, Probiotics (& whatever else is not known by Science ;-) ) to VALUABLE USE!! FERMENTATION = TRANSFORMATION So whatever you create, whether it marries well or not with your dish - either include something FERMENTED with your food or take a sip of Kvass or a fork full of cultured veggies JUST BEFORE or JUST AFTER you have eaten. This will OPTIMIZE YOUR DIGESTION & UPTAKE of whatever else you are eating!! A complete meal in my mind includes the following: - protein - good fats - cultured foods - greens/veggies/salad A bit of crunch, a bit of creaminess & a bit of ZING ;-) All the while keeping it SIMPLE. Bon Appetite FIND US AT Willunga Farmers Market this Saturday to fill your fridge with your very own PROBIOTIC PANTRY. <3

03.01.2022 A little too much FIZZ? It's important to DRINK BEET KVASS rather than wear it So for anyone who LOVES our Beet Kvass with Pomegranate & found out (too late) just how much life it has in it then we are sending out a CAUTION. OPEN YOUR LID VERY VERY SLOWLY.... Just see the process of getting the lid off without wearing your kvass as a 'spiritual practice' - it requires calmness, equilibrium, patience. The moment you think you can take the cap off - WHOOSH - up it comes again!!! My advice is: - PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT IN A HURRY TO GET OUT THE DOOR - DON'T FORGET - IT'LL BE WORTH IT - IT WILL TRY & TRICK YOU into thinking all of the gas has been released! - IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 4 min. (approx.) And once the first opening has happened - the second time will be much quicker - still approach with respect! FERMENTED FOODS & DRINKS are (unless pasturized) VERY MUCH ALIVE. And refrigeration DOESN'T STOP the activity but certainly slows it down. Our BEET KVASS Original & GOLDEN KVASS tend to be less prone to getting over excited - but again, don't become complacent BEET KVASS with Pomegranate is a much loved ferment & we would like everyone to continue enjoying it but begin to understand the nature of fermented foods. BENEFICIAL MICROBES ARE HEROES & we become stronger for having them in our lives. THANKYOU TO THIS WONDERFUL MICROBIAL WORLD WE ARE WHO WE ARE BECAUSE OF THEM - AND WHEN YOU EMBRACE THEIR MAGNIFICENT BIODIVERSITY BY ENGAGING IN A CULTURED LIFE (Nature, Seasonal Foods, Soil, Cultured Foods etc) - you become as ALIVE as they are. Much love to our CULTURED COMMUNITY <3

02.01.2022 BEET KVASS is an extraordinary LIVER & BLOOD REVITALIZER - when Spring kicks in this year please understand how important the LIVER IS, AS IT RESPONDS TO THIS CHANGE OF SEASON. It also kicks into a new gear! SPRING CLEANING is a real thing!! We all get the urge in Spring to 'clean house'. We are actually 'acting out' an INNER PROCESS which is taking place inside our body. Particularly the LIVER. Our Liver is such a profound organ & responsible for so many tasks - it can ...also accumulate a heavy load during Winter when we are spending far more time inside, consuming heavier foods, (maybe more alcohol?), toxins build up, sluggish digestive system, lack of exercise etc etc. - this often leads to feeling waves of heaviness, depression, unmotivated, despondent etc etc as we come out of Winter. - which has heaps to do with our LIVER FUNCTION & GUT MICROBIOME. Really NOW is the time to nurture our LIVER as it is often said in Traditional Chinese Medicine that the energy of the liver begins to 'push out' mid-Winter time. Just as Bulbs are pushing energy through the cold earth to flower, the ENERGY OF THE EARTH is reflective of OUR OWN BIOLOGY. We are intrinsically connected. So your LIVER (& YOU :-) ) will RESPOND to any conscious actions you take NOW in readiness for it's huge task of WAKING UP & RE-ENERGIZING YOUR BODY COME SPRING. BEET KVASS particuarly is profound because it is MULTI-PRONGED in it's nature & actions. BEETROOTS ARE A RENOWNED BLOOD & LIVER FOOD. KVASS is a FERMENTED BEETROOT TONIC! So you get the 'unlocked' Beetroot benefits as well as the SUPERHERO PROBIOTIC STRAINS to seed & feed your GUT MICROBIOME. A SYMPHONY of support. TO BEGIN YOUR 'SPRING CLEANING' now, consider some LIVER LOVING actions: BEET KVASS & FERMENTED FOODS are a powerful way to begin this process. COLONIC IRRIGATION with Kate Gardner Bottoms Up Colonics Southern Vales at Old Reynella - in July, August or September. Going on some beautiful HIKES around Adelaide.

01.01.2022 BIG NEWS IN THE HOOD (be sure to read to the end for an offering ;-) ) We have a NEW STOCKIST - and this place is an institution! Been trading for 30 years now. BLACKWOOD HEALTH FOOD STORE... Blackwood Health Foods A big thanks to Tom (owner) & Gemma (staff extraordinaire) for inviting Kristy & I & our superb range of KVASS to the CHOKA BLOCK unbelievable store. If anyone remembers HEALTH FOOD STORES from the 80's then this is like stepping back in time. Again, it's the smell that takes me back - I worked in a number of health food stores in the early- mid 80's whilst I was studying Naturopathy....it still smells like the 80's They have EVERYTHING - bulk foods, brilliant brands, medicinals, nutritives, so much resource it's literally pouring out the doors!!! AND NOW THEY STOCK OUR KVASS So to celebrate we are giving the FIRST BEET KVASS CUSTOMER to shop at Blackwood Health Foods their bottle of BEET KVASS, Original FREE <3 IF YOU ARE NEW TO DRINKING KVASS, please be sure to request the FAQ's sheet at the counter when you go to purchase your bottles of Kvass. This will help a great deal know how much to drink etc etc. I believe so many people will appreciate our new BLACKWOOD STOCKIST. Thanks again to Tom & the wonderful staff at Blackwood Health food store.

01.01.2022 HAPPINESS PEACE ENERGY WELL-----BEING ... How do you rate? Does it feel like you are pushing shit up hill most of the time? If you do (or don't) there are reasons for that?!! If I was to give (you & me) any peace's (intentional spelling) of advice, I would say this; EARTH YOURSELF - barefoot - lay on our Earth - garden with your bare hands. This is not cliché - this is because we are positively charged & our Earth Mother is negatively charged - SHE IS THE GREATEST 'ANTI-INFLAMMATORY' PILL EVER! DRINK BEET KVASS or COCONUT KEFIR or MILK KEFIR daily. INTERMITTENT FAST: start tomorrow. This will be one of the greatest keys to ticking every single box in your life! My routine is begin eating at 11.30am (mostly I begin at 12.30pm) - & finish by 7pm) - so I fast for a minimum of 16 hours. TAKE TIME EVERY DAY TO BE STILL & QUIET. So much noise - so much information - so much talking - we cannot hear our heart!! PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR TV. You do not need it.........in fact no-one needs it....it's full of shit mostly & numbs us to sleep. You can go to sleep in so many other more healthy ways!! Just put it in the shed to start with - eventually you will realize that you don't ever think about it. Truly it's ONLY a habit. So a minor adjustment for everyone. MORE MORE MORE SALAD, SMOOTHIES, JUICES, FRUIT & CULTURED FOODS. (of course some folks are on very particular programs but these are the exceptions) - Summer is almost here, so a wonderful time to take in WATER RICH, LIGHT-FILLED FOODS. GARDENING - even if you can only manage a few pots or boxes of veggies or herbs or flowers. GROWING OUR OWN FOOD is so important!!! And takes you to a place which is PEACEFUL & CONNECTED. FASTING IS A KEY TO MAGIC LIGHT IS THE ACCESS TO JOY NATURE IS THE KEY TO CONNECTION COMPASSION IS THE KEY TO OUR HEART FERMENTATION = TRANSFORMATION And fermentation has been my guiding light. Eating it, drinking it, making it & teaching it. FERMENTED FOODS ARE GOLD - pure alchemy! One of our most treasured ferments is GOLDEN BEET KVASS - many people are just starting to connect with this powerful ferment in a very spiritual way. It has an amazing vibration - & resonates powerfully with our higher chakras. I knew the moment the formula landed in my mind - it was MAGIC. The very first TEST BATCH WAS PERFECTION, it didn't need altering at all. All of our BEET KVASS will assist you in ways you cannot imagine; DIGESTION, SLEEP, HAY FEVER, HEADACHES, CONSTIPATION, ENERGY, BLOATING, IMMUNITY, HORMONES, VITALITY - & the list goes on. If you would like to begin your journey with CHOOSING YOU - I highly recommend INTERMITTENT FASTING as a starting point. Let this & our amazing BEET KVASS be your guiding lights.
