RAW SPIRIT - MUST READ
WHO IS READY TO PARTY?
(I quickly raise my hand like a kid who needs a bathroom pass)
Everyone has asked me at one point or another what to expect at The RawSpirit Festival, mainly because I went there last year, and also because as I breathed in the atmosphere it literally changed my DNA... or something like that.
Saying that... I will start with what you can leave behind. Once we get that out of the way we will focus our attention on what to expect... and bring.
Leave Behind List
Fears - everything will be fine, even if you don't know anyone.
Limitations - go there "bound by nothing" and explore your full potential.
Attitude - about food, people, religions, anything. Go with an open mind.
Stress - leave your cares and worries behind, if only for a weekend.
ok... four seems more than enough to start with.
What To Bring List (the short list)
Love in your heart
A Smile on your face
Excitement and positive vibes
Warm Clothes (it gets cool at night)
Bare feet to dance with
Chapstick!!!
What to Expect
What you experience will be totally different than what I experience, or anyone else for that mater. We create, manifest, and attract everything that takes place in our lives, so the question is.... what experience would you like to create for yourselves?
You are being called to wakefulness, and in that "new creation" thinking we take full responsibility for all of our actions, conscious or subconscious. I encourage you to take a moment to set your intention of having the most liberating experience of your life.
I know that some of you may not used to taking trips, leaving home (I wasn't the first time I went), interacting, etc... and want to feel a sense of safeness when exploring. I think that you will quickly find that those "old creation" ways of thinking are becoming a thing of the past, and are really outdated expressions of separation. We no longer have to live in that old paradigm, where separation and division rule.
We are all co-creators, and called to live out heaven on earth. There is no separation! The veil has been torn. Let the shackles fall from your wrist with the truth of knowing that we are All One.
How does that relate to the festival...? If you find yourself feeling nervous, challenged, or having your limits pressed at the event, approach someone and engage in a conversation... I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how open and loving everyone is. We are all in this together, and with that we all support and encourage one another. Always.
Let this time be your opportunity for liberation.
Liberation from fears and insecurities.
Liberation from outmoded ways of thinking.
Liberation from dead-end jobs, relationships, etc.
Let this be your chance to soar.... and rise up like the Phoenix!
This may seem like a lot to put on a festival, but it's really not about the festival. It's about a group of like-minded people celebrating life... and when that happens, and you feel that overwhelming sense of love in your hear, let me tell you, transformations occurs!
So...
No limits.
Nothing but love.
I look forward to seeing you SHINE!
Till we meet again,
The Love Doctor

check the Raw Spirit site registration http://tinyurl.com/6cr5ee to be assured they will have a ticket for you and don't sell out. This also helps them plan for your food, etc.
I'm pretty sure they have a will call section to pick up your tickets when you check in to get your wristband.

My man Philip, your post just blew me away and got me so excited for the Fest (not that I wasn't already!). Cannot wait to see you then and experience the magic. I'm volunteering with Vanessa, so be sure of much chocolate love throughout the weekend:)

The LOVE Doctor?!!
Please let me know the next time the good Dr. in. I may need to make an appointment. LOL Couldn't resist! You know I will be disappointed if you are not wearing that on a sign around your neck when I get to Raw Spirit.
I have to say, however, Philip that you are dead on the money with your post here. Last year was just so much more than I ever expected. Amazing place and amazing people. The energy is so great that when I would call everyone back home they could actually FEEL it through the phone!
My biggest question is how are we all going to find each other? I have even more people to meet this year than last year. I will be there all 3 days from beginning to end. Hope I meet you all in person!
See you soon!

me too, i still love dates covered in tahini though.
im confused. matt monarch swears by regular colonic hydrotherapy. its his no.1 raw tip, didn't think it could be dangerous but now it kind of makes sense. enemas seem much more natural in comparison.
I've heard great, great things about Living Light Culinary Arts Institute in Fort Bragg, CA. I know that isn't really in the Los Angeles area, but it's still in CA and I believe they provide students the option to stay in their 'Living Light Inn'....
The way I see it is that generally people who label themselves are confident of the path they have chosen while,also generally, people don't don't label aren't quite as sure if what they're following is the right way to go.
hi hitesh,

Charles?
things that have actually worked for me:
Valerian root for tea - very calming...
Lemon juice, sliced lemon peel, lemon grass or lemon verbina, raw honey, star anise (optional), maybe some ginger, hot water (let it all infuse together for a while) ...
oh yeah there were like 3 judges who really eager to find mistakes in my asanas and other yoga practices that they asked me to perform :)
But i am lucky hahahaha
