WINNER of ARTISANA COCO GIVEAWAY
WOW, thanks to all of you who entered last month?s RawReform Giveaway, to win a free case of yummy-licious Artisana Raw Coconut Products?
To be in with a chance to win the goodie box, all you had to do was
send in YOUR favourite coconut-based recipe?we had some fabulous
entries ? many of them have now been posted to the Readers? Recipes page on the RawReform site, HERE?
from Coconut Ice Cream to Cheezecake, Lemon Chews, Thai Green Curry and
Butternut-Coconut Soup ? there is plenty to explore?scroll down to the
?Coconut-Based Recipes? section HERE: http://www.rawreform.com/content/view/290/.
The WINNER of the goodies however, picked at random, was Julie Dokas, who submitted the following delicious-sounding recipe:
Thai Coconut Noodles
Young Coconut Meat - cut into lengthwise "noodle" like strips
Brussels Sprouts/Purple Cabbage/Green Cabbage/Kale/Carrots - or any
crunchy veggies of your choosing - the more colorful the better!
Dressing:
Almond Butter
Coconut Water
Cumin
Coriander
Curry Powder
Cayenne
Red Pepper Flakes
Black Pepper
Basil
Dulse Flakes
Nama Shoyo (just a little)
Raw Honey or Agave - (just a tiny bit if needed to get the balance of flavors right)
Mix all ingredients of the dressing, and pour over veggies & coconut. Stir.
Put into a bowl/or plate; drizzle a little bit of flax or hemp oil on
top. Sprinkle Raw Jungle Peanuts, Raw Pistachios and/or Hemp Seeds,
dried shredded coconut & scallions.
I love this recipe because it's fast & easy, makes great left
overs, is fun & colorful to eat! And firends who aren't Raw really
love it too!
Enjoy!

RAW SUCCESS
That marvellous Mr Monarch is about to launch his next book: RAW SUCCESS?
We?re both really excited about this book and hope you?re going to LOVE
it too?we?ve been working really hard to get it ready in time to share
at the Raw Spirit Fest
in Arizona this October?seems like it?s all on time, so watch out for
it there?this book is going to potentially blow your current conception
of the raw food lifestyle to pieces and then re-arrange it into a
pattern that serves you with years of vibrant, optimal
living?yeeeeeeeeeeeeee-HAH :)
This book shares incredibly inspiring, fascinating, fresh ideas about
how to experience longevity with a 100% Raw Vegan Lifestyle. It covers
such areas as:
# Understand how to succeed with a 100% raw food lifestyle
# Find your Optimal Raw Diet: not too extreme, not too lax ? just right for you
# Protect yourself from the detrimental effects of the environment
The information revealed in Raw Success will open your eyes wide to the truth. You can pre-order a copy HERE.
Congratulations too to the fabulous Desire?e Martinez,
who was the winner of our contest to design the front cover for this
book. We think she did a GREAT job. Thanks also to all of you who sent
in your amazing designs for this contest ? the standard of the entries
really blew us away?Desire?e walked away with the prize of a new
dehydrator,
plus a signed copy of the book. She is also credited in the book for
the Cover Concept and we will likely use her again for design projects
in the future...we love a bit of it ;) We?ve also decided to send a
complimentary copy of the book to ALL of you who sent in designs for
the contest. ENJOY :)

MEDIA ROUND-UP The last month has been quite remarkable in terms of publicity?check out some of the coverage below:
RAW SUMMIT
The first ever Raw Food World Summit ran through August, featuring
around a dozen raw food authors/lecturers/proponents, sharing our best
with the wonderful interviewer Kevin Gianni. Myself, Matt Monarch,

participated. The free broadcasts are over now, but you can still order
access to the recordings through this link HERE.
FIRST MAGAZINE
Mainstream national women?s magazine First for Women, based in the US,
had me as their cover girl for their latest issue, with an article all
about juicing and weight loss inside. The readership of this mag is
over 2 million women and my inbox has been reflecting that ;) The
response has been phenomenal and I?m delighted that so many people are
getting into more juicing for their healing?even though the cover pic
of me looks nothing like the me I?M used to seeing and the juice
recipes they suggest are not anything I would recommend, the intention
is there and the message is being spread and for THAT I am grateful?
GET FRESH! MAGAZINE
The latest issue of raw magazine ?Get Fresh!? in the UK contains an
article by me about Food Combining. Many of you have been writing to
let me know that you really enjoyed this simple, straight-forward
explanation of how to combine optimally for health and comfort?GOOD :)
I?m happy you?ve been enjoying it ;) If you?d like to order a copy of
Get Fresh!, you can do so HERE.

ANASTASIA
There?s something I want to share about, which is extremely dear to me.
I?ve been reading a series of books that move me far beyond anything
I?ve ever read before?these books are becoming known as the ?Anastasia?
books, after the ?heroine? of these volumes?perhaps you've heard of
them already...aaahhhhhh, Anastasia?my heart space opens at the mere
mention of her name?
Anastasia is a woman who lives, contemporary with us, in the wild
forests of Siberia, in Russia?she?s probably about 36 years old by now
I would guess?yet she is absolutely timeless? Her spirit inspires me
more than any other I have ever heard or read about?Anastasia
represents, to me, pure, loving, flowing, powerful connectivity with
the Universe and all within it?the books recount how the writer,
Vladimir Megre, encountered her in the Siberian Taiga back in the 90s
and spent three days witnessing her incredible connection with nature
and the whole of the universe?
Anastasia lives alone, wild, in the Siberian Forest?she has no
particular ?home? or shelter - a few dug-outs here and there around her
glade which she may bed down in overnight, perhaps asking a female bear
to lay with her to keep her warm?she has almost no clothing?no
possessions of any kind?she is TRULY raw? ;) She never stops to eat
meals, just picks a few berries here, or a few leaves there, or snaps
her fingers and squirrels scurry to bring her nuts and dried
mushrooms?she has clear, loving communication with all the animals,
plants and life in the entire glade and FAR beyond it?it may sound
fantastical, yet this is no work of fiction?the author was in fact a
very ?left-brained?, mainstream entrepreneur when he encountered
Anastasia?he had never written anything of any significance in his
life?Anastasia however informed him that he would, after their
encounter, write about their experiences together and that the books
would become very popular?and so, via the intense clarity of her vision
and intention, it all came to pass?the books, originally written in
Russian, have been translated into over 30 languages now and have been
moving people worldwide ever since?they are absolutely, exquisitely
beautiful to me?and many millions of other people too it seems?
The Anastasia books have deeply affected my life and being?when I read
them, I feel divinely connected to nature, to truth, to the power of
all oneness and simplicity everywhere?her heart and soul resonate so
powerfully with my own and I feel bliss just to think of her, out there
in the forest, doing her thing? :) So?what does she ?do?...? Anastasia
is like a power house of light for this planet?she heals, she sends out
love, she encourages, nurtures and supports?she ?tunes in? to people
all over the world, all the time, via the power of her ?third eye? or
?Ray?, as she calls it and supports them on their journeys?she pays
particular attention to people in Russia who raise their own vegetables
and other foods?these are the people she really appreciates and sends
masses of supportive energy to?the people who work with and care for
plants? I have, for many years, held the vision of wanting to live on a
piece of land somewhere warm, where I can be growing my food and living
more in tune with nature?when I started to read these books, that
vision expanded and compounded itself ever more deeply into my whole
being, so much so that it began to feel almost impossible to deal with
my current daily tasks like writing a book and answering emails?I just
wanted land?connectivity?hands in soil?and I know it will all come to
pass ;) The books have apparently been inspiring MILLIONS of others
into growing their own food too, all over the world ? in Russia
especially, hundreds of eco-villages have been forming?people have also
been producing incredible works of art by the hundreds too ? songs,
poems, paintings?there is so much creative flow and love that has
sprung forth from the sharing of these books?it is all truly
awe-inspiring?I am on Book 2 now and just love it?the moments in my day
when I open these books are like sacred times for me?I TOTALLY
encourage all and anybody to delve into these incredible pieces of
light-work?you can see more about them and order them HERE.
