Eating Alive

At this unique event, raw foods expert Brigitte Center will introduce us to the deliciousness and health benefits of eating living cuisine, while we enjoy an abundance of gourmet raw food dishes and local organic wine!

Topics will include:

Eating More Fruit - Fruit is nature's fast food. Great for breakfast or a snack, fruit is full of life-force energy and water. It travels well in a self contained, edible-and biodegradable-package, and it goes great with greens.
The Stage: A huge bowl of all the seasonal, ripe fruit.

Green Smoothies - Also a great breakfast or snack food, green smoothies are full of easily digestible fiber and plant-protein.
The Stage: A big bowl of greens, handouts on how much protein and nutrients are in greens (pound for pound more that steak!) and two green smoothies to sample: Tropical and Kale Chocolate Mint!

5-Minute Raw Soups - Ideal for taking to work!
The Stage: A "soup kit" of ingredients, plus a creamy, non-dairy tomato basil soup to sample.

Avocados - Here's a raw dish you're already familiar with, guacamole. And one you're probably not, chocolate avocado mousse!
The Stage: A bowl of avocados, plus samples of guacamole and mousse.

Raw Nuts and Seeds for Snacks - Who knew you could make that with nuts?
The Stage: Samples of Asian "meat", crackers, brownies, and apple cake, plus nutritional comparisons of raw snacks on the market.

Why Bad Things Happen to Good Relationships

Good relationships often go bad because most of us don't know what genuine long-term relationships are all about. There is no model.

Your relationship is a process--it progresses, develops, and changes over time. 

In this seminar, Dr. Alan Schneider will explore what makes up a healthy relationship. You'll also discover the answers to some fundamental questions that are guaranteed to help anyone who is, has been, or would like to be in, a long-term relationship. 

Questions like:

  • Why are relationships so much work?
  • Is fighting necessary?
  • Is there really such a thing as love at first sight?
  • Why is it so hard to find a soul mate?
  • How close is too close?
  • How separate should partners be of each other?
  • How separate from the outside world should the couple be?
  • Do opposites really attract each other?
  • Why do so many of relationships fail?

How do you keep it moving forward? This seminar has the answer.

"A relationship is like a shark. It keeps moving forward or it dies." -Woody Allen
