Raising Raw Revolutionaries - Saturday: We are living in the shift between the ages. The old paradigms are dissolving fast and new ways of living are being birthed. Our children need vastly different life skills from those taught by the conventional 20th century model most of us grew up with. Home schooling and raw foods are two of the most important keys for raising children to be self-empowered and strong in their truth. Kate has three sons aged ten, seven and four, and will joyfully share the wisdom and insights she gleans through bringing her children up with alternative values to those of the prevailing culture.

Ecstatic Beings - Sunday: It's a revolution. It's the best revolution ever because all you have to do is be happy. The happier you are, the more you are living in your heart. And the more you are living in your heart, the less you are in your head. The less you are in your head, the less you are ruled by your programming and conditioning, and the less control they have over you, their fear and lies do not work. Love is all that is real, love and beauty and truth and everything else is illusion. EVERYTHING ELSE IS ILLUSION. Perpetrated by the dark forces to make us forget how magical miraculous and ecstatic life really is. Ecstasy is our natural state of being. Remember who you are and reclaim your birthright to be an ecstatic bliss being right here and now...Kate and Shazzie, the UK™s two leading raw food promoters, are having the best time ever writing a book on Ecstatic Living, the natural result of long-term use of raw foods, yoga, meditation and many other detox techniques and spiritual systems in combined effect. Ecstatic Beings the book will be ready early next year, but come and get a sneak preview here with Kate and sign up for the Ecstatic revolution.

These are Sacred stories, songs of the stars that fell from the dome to rest in the open palms of those who called them. These are tales, long forgotton of the movement of aeons, of age into age, and of the ones, beyond time, who watched this all. These are magical stories of the meeting of Heaven and Earth: of a time when they were still one and the breath of Heaven was a name sung on the winds. A time when the tribes still circled in endless bliss as they guarded the dances on earth that let the stars sing through them. These are tales of the memory of this Grace, and of those wisdoms, not forgotton, that spin still in the hearts of the present.

This workshop gives practical hints and inspiration to help us let go of damaging grievances and set us free. If you have ever felt imprisoned by a past event, if you have tried to forgive but hit a block, if you think there are things that you just can™t forgive, then this workshop is for you.
