Awakenings in Arizona
I have been extremely blessed to spend the last month on retreat in glorious Arizona. This is the first time in five years that I am not in a cold climate for autumn and winter and I have sooo appreciated that. I feel like I really thrive in the warmth and it feels so natural and healing for me to be in this kind of climate.
My month in Arizona started with the fabulous Raw Spirit Fest in Sedona, from Oct 6th-8th. This was a tribal gathering of raw beings from all over the States and beyond. About 250 of us gathered in a little valley surrounded by glorious huge red rocks, dramatic desert sunsets and a sublime babbling river. Graced by the full moon at night and the blazing desert sun by day, this was a truly magical event. It was a wonderful treat to listen in to talks by long-term raw foodists like Viktoras Kulvinskas and sun-gazer Hira Ratan Manek, sharing their insights. I ran a RawReform booth for the weekend, selling printed copies of the RawReform e-books and shared my story on stage. We were all blessed by the presence of extraordinary raw-inspired musicians sharing their amazing talents, from raw rap to classical harp to guitar ballads and soothing, haunting flute/djembe/didge collaborations? The catering for the festival was exceptional, especially considering there was no electricity and no fridges in the open-air kitchen. Seven guest chefs prepared an impressive array of gourmet feasts and we ate meals together like one big family, blessing our food communally and giving thanks for each meal. The energy in that little valley was extremely high that weekend, as we buzzed and hummed on a blend of cacao, bliss and joy at communion with like-minded beings. New friendships were made, much inspiration was enjoyed and a lot of love was shared. The festie will be back next year in September and is really something not to be missed ? check out www.rawspiritfest.com for more info.
After the spectacular festival, I headed down to Patagonia and spent a few weeks hanging out near the equally inspiring Tree of Life Rejuvenation Centre. This centre, established by Gabriel Cousens is a beautiful little haven for vibrant living. It was a real joy to connect with the wonderful people there, dedicating their lives to sharing the message of live nutrition for healing. I really appreciated the love and commitment the community there demonstrate for this lifestyle. I gave a speech at the Tree of Life Caf? and sampled their legendary buffets, available daily and open to the public. The centre also offers wonderful yoga classes every day, which I enjoyed, along with educational classes and spiritual gatherings. It was a wonderful area to visit and I especially appreciated the clarity that being out in the desert brought for me, far from city distractions.
To round up my month in the desert, I headed back up towards Prescott to participate in an incredible raw hiking/fasting retreat into a hidden ?magic canyon?. By the light of the full moon, a happy tribe of us walked in silence into an incredible, untouched wilderness to spend a blissful weekend together. This was a deeply spiritual experience for me, in silence and fasting with fellow raw beings in the desert, sans electricity, sans shelter, sans any kind of modern ?convenience?. I foraged for wild wolfberries, bathed in the river, slept under the radiant full moon on the sand, explored caves and met a tarantula out walking? In silence and peace, I reached down deep into the depths of me being, examining the truth of myself as my mind bubbled and jostled, free from the distractions of ?everyday life??I emerged from the canyon two days later renewed and refreshed, after a lot of inward processing?a truly magical experience and the perfect way to round off my adventures and joyful exploration in Arizona?

Raw Gaia Skin Care  and the benefits of MSM
It is important to remember that what we put ON our bodies can be just as important for our health as what we put IN. For raw foodists, it can be challenging to find an appealing skin care range, as most products have processed ingredients as the base. The finest range I have discovered so far for treating the skin with 100% organic, vegan, raw, living ingredients is the sumptuous Raw Gaia range. Handmade with love in the UK, the range is made using pure virgin cacao butter as a base, never heated above 40 ?C (104 F), blended with top quality essential oils and other skin treats like MSM powder (see below for more info on MSM). The result is a luxurious range of deliciously soothing moisturizers, creams, lip balms, massage bars and facial toners that truly nourish your skin and your entire being?with gorgeous packaging and delightful product names such as ?for her daughters and ?for her babies?, these products feel truly satisfying ?mmmmmmmmmm LUSH :)
You can check out the Raw Gaia range at www.rawgaia.com.

MSM (Methyl sulphonyl methane)
MSM is an amazing healing substance. It is a sulphur compound that is naturally found in all body cells and some of our most common foods. Sulphur is an essential component for the formation of collagen, which builds connective tissue. MSM provides huge support for the health of skin, hair and nails.
Adequate levels of sulphur in the body promotes a radiant complexion, glowing skin and mineralised hair. Therefore sulphur is called the ?beauty mineral?. As part of a skin care product, MSM promotes skin elasticity, healing and repair. It can be extremely beneficial for those losing weight to use MSM lotions directly on the skin to support elasticity, reduce scarring and restructure tissue.

NEW MSM LOTIONS HAVE JUST BEEN ADDED TO THE RAWREFORM ONLINE STORE. COCONUT ROSE, LAVENDER, YLANG-YLANG FLAVOURS AND MORE...SEE HERE FOR DETAILS...
