Also, I only live an hour east of Portland and would love to attend a lecture or even host one in our neck of the woods over here in the Gorge. I so believe in what you are teaching people, it is so empowering and exciting. I have been sick for a long time and am making strides (baby steps actually) towards healing.
Hi, thanks so much for your message. Best way to stay in touch is subscribing to the blog, if you like.
ReplyDeleteI’ve broken the book up into bite-sized volumes, the first book, “Kitchen Sink Farming: Sprouting” is just waiting for one photo then will be released. I’m scurrying to finish the final edit on the other volumes – Fermenting, Growing, Raw Food Recipes, and a compilation of all of them, so all will be available soon!
No plans to do any more speaking until the books are out, but if you’re ever in Portland check out my yoga teaching schedule at www.OmInvasion.org and come by for a class if you want. Thanks for the encouragement, and best wishes in your journey towards your very best self.
