The Yoga of Food — A Vegetarian Approach to Eating

Vegetarianism is an essential step towards a better society, and people who take time to consider its advantages will be in the company of such thinkers as: Einstein, Socrates, Plato, Thomas Edison, Ben Franklin, Gandhi, Sir Isaac Newton, and Henry David Thoreau. So join us for a weekend of good cooking, and you may leave as one of the leading thinkers of your generation.

At the very least, this promises to be a weekend of education, inspiration, exploration and entertainment. Throughout history, our food choices, including the way food is prepared, what and how we eat, and our relationship to food have had a definite influence on individual well-being — mentally, spiritually and physically — as well as on the societies we live in.

Come and learn how food choices and food preparation affect our emotions, integrity, decisions, stress tolerance, contentment and health. Learn simple and tasty vegetarian recipes that you will be able to take home and cook easily.
Our schedule includes:
• Hands-on demonstrations
• Insights into the benefits of a vegetarian diet
• Time for meditation and reflection
• Fun!
Facilitators: Brad Arkin and Donna Serpe

Food for Thought

If your happiness goes then your health and wealth will follow.  Remember that there is no nourishment like happiness.  If you have the habit of losing your happiness then you will not be satisfied with even 36 varieties of food.

The Concept of the Helpless Vegetarian...
Helpless No More  July2

     Vegan and Vegetarian foods do not have to be tasteless. I believe you can take any dish and turn it vegetarian with the proper mix of herbs and spices. It does not have to be difficult it needs to be practical so you can succeed with your vegetarian lifestyle choice. Your body is a temple so treat it that way and prepare your food in the same consciousness. Be peaceful, be silent and remember your highest self whilst preparing your food. Listen to the sounds in the kitchen when you are sauteeing or braising.  Hear those sounds.  Those pure thoughts during cooking will help to create a new you both physically and spiritually with those positive meditative vibrations. Sit, relax and enjoy your food. This is the energy you want to digest. No tension only attention.
