Mondays: Raw Recovery: Live Foods to Promote Recovery from Addictions
 4757 12th Avenue NE, Seattle, WA   (Chaco Canyon Cafe) 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.

Description:  Meet others seeking permanent abstinence from drugs, alcohol, or food addictions by joining with us to explore health and recovery through eating raw plant-based foods (fresh fruit, veg, nuts, seeds). People seeking support on the raw path who are not troubled by addictions are also most welcome.  The meeting will be structured with time for sharing challenges and triumphs, exchanging advice, and offering support. We will have optional book study groups re raw nutrition and recovery, and organize outings to raw food meetups and events, retreats, walks around Greenlake, hikes - or whatever else takes our fancy.  This group honors all spiritual leanings but discussion will largely focus on practical matters around letting go of our SAD and other addictions, achieving consistent abstinence, and transitioning to or maintaining a raw food lifestyle. We will not adhere to the HP paradigm of the traditional 12-Step program. How does that sound?

I believe that we can optimize our physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health through letting go of unhealthy habits, building healthy, hopeful community, and embracing the raw food lifestyle. Please share the journey with us!

Meetings will be a structured time for sharing challenges and triumphs in raw recovery. Our agenda will include time for sharing (much like a 12-Step group, with each member having the opportunity to share), discussion, and exchange of ideas. We will conclude with an optional book study discussion group.

Saturday, June 28: Special Lecture with Paul Nison: The Formula for Health
 14500 Juanita Drive NE, Kenmore, WA   (Bastyr University) 5:00 - 8:30 p.m.

Buy tickets for Paul Nison: The Formula for Health

Paul Nison is on a mission to bring the message of health and healing to the world. His experiences and background in raw food nutrition, along with his study of the Scriptures, have helped him develop a unique teaching style that is fun, simple and to the point.

At age 20, Paul Nison was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (also know as Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis), a deadly affliction.

His search for a cure began with medical doctors, but they didnt have the answers he needed. After trying almost every so-called cure to overcome his pain and suffering, Paul finally discovered the benefits of eating more simply. He started by getting rid of foods that were no good for him. Simplifying his diet was the first step in his cure.  I was eating so much unhealthy food, but didnt care because I felt great. When I got sick, I finally realized health doesnt start with what we add to our diet, but with what we leave out.

Paul started to leave out all unhealthful foods, and the healthful foods he was left with were raw, ripe, fresh, organic fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

After turning to a more simple diet called the raw food diet consisting of just that, raw foods, Paul was amazed at how quickly his health returned. He was even more amazed because doctors told him raw foods would not help his condition. In fact, they warned him by saying a diet of raw fruits and vegetables would be harmful to anyone with inflammatory bowel disease.

This led Paul to simplify all areas of his life. With his new understanding of less is more, Paul left his office job in the financial industry on Wall Street in New York City, wrote some books about health, and started traveling, giving lectures about health and living simply.

Paul didn't know it at the time, but his return to health and a simpler life was just the beginning of a path that would bring him to question the connection between todays fast-paced urban lifestyle and the sadly diseased state in which so many people find themselves. The more I started to realize what was really going on, I would see most people moving around like robots, barely surviving while I was thriving.

This led Paul to continue to search for an answer. He realized that people are being controlled by the world. Most of the people in control do not have the best interests of the people they are controlling at heart.

Paul's lecture on June 28 will be focused on the contents of his newest book, the Formula for Health, can help you discover how to improve your health and live a disease-free life. The more you understand nutritions role in preventing disease and curing it, the easier it will be for you to eat healthfully, emphasizing vibrant, live foods.  This 3-hour lecture will provide you with sensible health information that can easily be applied to your life right away, resources to support you on your journey and help keep you on track, and a simple formula for health, along with a four-step program to enable you to achieve your goals.
