evepostappleOnce upon a time, there was a woman named Eve, who, unable to resist the luring temptation of a fragrant orchard, took a bite of forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Perhaps Eve was bored. Perhaps she was ovulating and had a desperate craving for something sweet. Perhaps life in the little garden was becoming stressful or claustrophobic. Perhaps she felt out of control or lacked passion in her life and in order to numb her emotions or soothe herself from Adam's lack of attention or his ambivalence in starting a family, she chose to indulge. Perhaps Eve was an emotional eater. But as Eve soon discovered, neither the bite, nor the whole fruit fulfilled her as she had hoped. Not only did she realize she was naked but that she had contempt for the way she looked. Perhaps Eve suffered with body dismorphia. Eve tried to stop eating the forbidden fruit and eventually avoided eating altogether but that didn't work and she ended up eating until she could no longer breathe. The point of this is that Eve lost her intuitive ability to nourish herself. She no longer had balance in her life and was willing to do any and everything to get that back.

Maybe Eve didn't exist. Maybe the stories that were told are not as important as the stories we tell ourselves.

This blog is dedicated to creating new stories based on the philosophies of whole body nutrition, self-love, intuition, fitness and yoga.

In my journey I have sought to uncover the knowledge and balance which have brought me to a greater awareness of health and this is what I wish to share with you.

    The 2012 Seed Event Highlights

    I am definitely still winding down from the ah-mazing 2012 Seed Event which I attended yesterday in Vancouver, BC.

    Here are some of the highlights:

    • Meeting my teacher and mentor David Wolfe, having my book autographed and having the opportunity to ask him some questions that I have always wanted and having him comment positively on my work
    • Group meditation with Adam Dreamhealer who taught a room full of 500 people how to see energy between our fingers.  It was incredible.  We also, as a group, did a healing session with Adam where we were taken through a series of visualizations and ultimately released negatively stored energy from our bodies. Both my fiancee and I felt the release in different ways, for me, it was a fire burning out of lower back.  For my fiancee, it was a large bubble of pressure escaping from his left leg…wow
    • The Seed Cafe and all of the delicious enriched drinks, smoothies, juices, food and of course the RAW CHOCOLATE (more about that below)
    • The sprouting table, where I saw sprouts that I have never seen before including cranberry sprouts!  They were delicious!
    • Deepak Chopra’s talk on spiritual evolution and spiritual agreements.  He is a profound speaker and I felt instant upliftment even being in his scope of energy
    • All of the incredible herbs, tinctures and tonics that we enjoyed and took home with us.  I was actually buzzing from them all day and today, my body felt cleansed and energetically cleared
    • Gerald Celente’s talk on trending blew my mind.  He was so insightful and hilarious and got me thinking deeply about my purpose and choices
    • Running into so many like-minded individuals and friends and discussing our favourite topics
    We enjoyed some delicious clean, raw, vegan food from the Seed Cafe as well as some delicious desserts.  Among my favourites were the Rishi Hot Chocolate OMG, raw falafel sprouted salad, the fresh juices, the Raw Chocolate Cake and the Fruit Crumble with Ginger.

    Most of all, I felt completely inspired and am excited to bring more of the information I have learned in this incredible conference to you.  There was so much depth and spirituality ringing through the words, the food, the music and the people in that space that it made me feel grateful to be apart of such an event.
