I am a community and staff member of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, founded by Gabriel Cousens, M.D. I have been eating raw vegan foods for over 4 years. I have juice feasted and fasted for over 118 days, including a consecutive 60 day Juice Feast, and coach Juice Feasts with David Rainoshek.

Hello, I'm the worst ever at keeping in touch with technology. I didn't even realize you posted on my page till now, you made the comment in may. I have no idea how I missed that. Yes, I have been to Omars, was there last week actually. I'm home for about two months now so lots of Omars for me. Things are good for me, how is AZ and the Tree? I would love to come and visit there for about a month. Maybe next year I can swing that.
Hi! I am new here. I joined actually because of your picture--you look so radiant and healthy, and I said to myself, that's a person I need to know. I have been vegan for 13 years and began eating 100% raw for 2 weeks now. I am open to any advice, tips, direction--you seem to know all about this lifestyle. Thanks!
Reading your posts makes me want to buy that house across the street from the TOL so I could walk there every day like I originally intended. Were you a participant at the spirit dance 2 years ago?
The restaurant is called the Organic Garden and it is in Beverly, Mass(just outside of Boston). It's actually still going strong! I needed a change in direction as I was feeling really burned out by the endless work and from sacrificing all of my other passions to keep the place running.
I'm an artist...I studied fine art in Boston and got into the culinary arts upon turning vegan back in '94. When I learned of raw foods in '98, I went raw overnight and never looked back :) I've always loved inventing in the kitchen, so living cuisine was a welcome challenge. My skills as a raw chef naturally blossomed when my friends and I opened the restaurant in '99...
As for my art, drawing and painting are my steadies but i also do sculpture, installation, sound and some film projects.
It was really cool reading about you...it looks like we share a lot of common interests :)
Careless whispers, have you ever seen the video, and tell me you didnt feel sad, that he lost forever his love for his one night of wickedness with that she wolf??
And they are raw?? I feel like I have seen them at TJ's but for some reason I did not think they were raw. This is exciting. That sounds so good right now.
I was at my friends
tonight and she had a pack and I opened one up with a nutcracker, omg. Is it a nut? Its so meaty and you don't have to cook or boil. I was so happy. I took them with me to my new house and I love them.
Have you ever??
