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. I am passionate about raw food nutrition, fitness, personal development, youth and raw food, spiritual practices and life at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center. I believe raw food is a catalyst for human potential in every area, and as fuel for living a truly turned-on life. My blog is www.RadicalRadiance.com, please visit me!

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.

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 :)
I watch a lot of TV. For a normal person, it's probably too much, but for an aspiring TV writer, it's probably not enough. I watch Top Chef, Project Runway, Heroes, Gossip Girl, Greek, Biggest Loser, Glee, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, and Bon...
I want to raise my vibration at every level, for many reasons. Earthly illusions such as poverty, jealousy, anger, hate, greed, abuse, weigh me down like heavy luggage. It is these very illusions that keep me separate from others and from God. Get...
Thank you guys! For the sauce, I used tomatoes, a spoon of olive oil and a pinch of any yellow spice I could find in my cupboard and some cilantro. I prepare almond milk so I used the leftovers nuts and mixed them with previous ingredients and the...
