This week at Monday Night LIVE! @ Cafe Gratitude we did something completely different! (If you were there – OMG! How GREAT was that? If you weren’t there, I’m SO SORRY!) We had a movie night where we were treated to a screening of the documentary, “May I Be Frank“.
The movie alone was incredible and is a MUST see!
But to top it off, after the film, a completely transformed Frank himself walked into thunderous, tearful, standing ovation!
We were also able to meet and ask questions of the cast and crew, including Frank Ferrante, who’s life was transformed over the course of this truly remarkable film.

As you no doubt know by now, my husband Stephen and I own
Every Body Cleansing Studio in Santa Rosa California,
where we offer (among other things…) Colon Hydrotherapy.
Colon Hydrotherapy was one of the tools used to transform Frank’s life,
along with raw foods and daily affirmations. If Frank can do it, you can do it!
And to make that a little easier for you, we’re offering a “May I Be Frank” colonic special!
Call us to schedule a colon hydrotherapy session by Friday November 20th & receive $10 off!
Just mention this special newsletter offer when you call!

 

Here is a 10 minute clip of the night’s presentation:

Monday November 16th, 2009 : 7:00pm-8:00pm
Topic: “Loving Yourself Wherever You Are In Your Journey -
Live Interview! Q & A w/ Bunny Berry!
5 Minute Interview with Bunny Berry.


In Bunny’s Words:

On April 14th, 2008, I embarked on a journey to change my life. At the time, I was very sick. I had a hard time making it through the day without spending most of my time in bed. Every joint in my body ached. My herniated disc was killing me. I was fat, fatigued, and FED UP! I had been to the doctor, and after running tests for Lupus, MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, etc, etc, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and given a 90 count bottle of Vicodin to fill.

I got mad. I was pissed, and kept saying, “That’s it? Just take narcotics for the rest of my life? I’m only 38 years old! I shouldn’t feel this bad.” I came home, and immediately started researching natural treatment for Fibromyalgia. Some of the symptoms sounded like me, but I didn’t have the muscle pain. I wasn’t sure about the diagnosis. I didn’t fill the prescription.

As I kept reading and researching, I read a lot about diet, and how it can be a really important part of the treatment of autoimmune disorders. I read about people having success with a Raw and Living Foods diet. I was intrigued, and started watching YouTube videos about raw food. I saw a video with Matt Monarch from http://www.rawspirit.org, and decided to give the diet a try. That’s when the real journey began.

I challenged myself to eat Raw and Living Foods for 100 Days. And each day, I would post a video on YouTube, tracking my journey. Within 3 days of being on raw food, almost all of my symptoms had gone away. No more chronic heartburn. No more joint pain. No more back pain. I felt like a miracle had happened. I started telling everybody I knew about my miracle. And I invited anyone who wanted to join me on the first official RawFu 100 Day Challenge.

The Challenge Started on August 15, 2008, and over 1000 people had joined by opening day. It was so exciting! I wanted to build a community that wasn’t exclusive, so everyone was welcome. Whether you were committing to adding a Salad-A-Day like my friend, Ryan Ozawa, or were going for a full 100% raw commitment like the lovely Rebecca Jordan, all levels of raw food enthusiast were welcome!

Since August 15, 2008 our community has thrived. Hundreds of pounds have been lost. Lifelong friendships have been forged. We’ve had meetups, holiday parties, and focus on love and support towards all members. This community has been the real miracle in my life. I feel honored to be able to lead such a wonderful group of people. I love you, RawFu!

Now we are embarking on a new journey. Along with the online community of now almost 2000 members, you’ll be able to shop for RawFu Approved raw supplies, and also subscribe to RawFu Magazine, a monthly magazine that will supplement the online forums. It’s such an exciting time. I hope you’ll come along for the ride!

Have an amazing week,

and I hope to see you Monday night for Bunny!

Be Well!

For almost a year now we’ve all been enjoying the incredible desserts
while listening to the speakers at Monday Night LIVE! @ Cafe Gratitude.
This week we got to hear from the woman who created most of those delectable treats!
Tying in her work as a Somatic Experiencing Practioner,
Tiziana Tambora spoke on the topic of “Raw Desserts: Emotions & the Body Connection.”

 

Here is a 10 minute clip of Tiziana’s presentation:

NEXT WEEK AT MONDAY NIGHT LIVE! @ CAFE GRATITUDE:

Monday November 9th, 2009 : 7:00pm-8:00pm
Topic: “May I Be Frank?” the Movie & “Making Of” Discussion
5 Minute Interview with Ryland Engelhart.

May I Be Frank – the Movie

All Frank Ferrante wants is to fall in love one last time before he dies.

In the beginning Frank is a 290-pound, 54 year old Sicilian from Brooklyn, NY. who has an unquenchable thirst for women, a tendancy to create awkward moments, and a knack for failure. He’s got Hepatitis C and is on numerous medications including Interferon and anti-depressants. He drinks 10 espressos a day just to keep himself awake. He is an ex-addict, accused of being a terrible father, a nasty ex-husband, a lousy brother and a lost soul. Frank is never satisfied; he’s always hungry for the next quick fix. At least, that WAS Frank…

Until the day he stumbled into his long-awaited awakening, disguised as Cafe Gratitude, a raw organic and vegan food restaurant in the sunset district of San Francisco. Here, Frank is offered something remarkable: another chance at his life. A conversation between Frank and a cafe waiter named Ryland results in the creation pf an experiment: to help Frank fall in love. The proposal: Frank will rediscover and recreate himself in just 42 days simply though what he eats and thinks.

For more information on the movie, cast and crew, please see the website: www.mayibefrankmovie.com

Have an amazing week,

and I hope to see you Monday night for May I Be Frank!

Be Well!

Monday November 2nd, 2009 : 7:00pm-8:00pm
Tiziana Alipo Tambora
Topic: “Raw Desserts: Emotions & The Body Connection.”
5 Minute Interview with Tiziana Tambora.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the co-author of Cafe Gratitude’s best selling dessert recipe book, “Sweet Gratitude“, Tiziana brings a wide range of skills and experience to her current practice as a dessert chef. Her passion for desserts is a lifelong journey she started in Italy inspired by her mother and grandmother. In the early nineties she started to study macrobiotic philosophy and began to develop her own recipes for vegan, macrobiotic desserts.

She came to California in 1997 to continue her studies and has since been involved in health and nutrition, baked for several International Macrobiotic Conferences and Cruises, and managed two vegan bakeries. She has worked as a private chef, a pastry chef, taught hands-on dessert classes since 1998 in Italy, Canada, and the US. Her holistic approach to health includes acupressure training and somatic experiencing.

Tiziana’s presentation will be connected with her book, “Sweet Gratitude”, and how each chapter in the book has a connection with some emotional state of being; Trust, being Present, Guilt, Love, Oneness etc. From here she’ll be introducing how our emotional states have an effect on our physical body specifically in regards to her other passion, Somatic Experiencing practice.

Have an amazing week,

and I hope to see you Monday night for the second Tiziana!

Be Well!

HOT DIGGITY BLOG DIGGITY! OR – WHY I’M DOING THIS:

Originally this blog was started to serve two purposes: as a daily journal to both my (and my Partner, Stephen’s) Global Juice Feasting* experience, and for our experiment with a "Living Spiritual Mind Treatment."

The Global Juice Feast kicked off on March 1st, 2008, and it ended on June 5th, 2008. Yes - that makes it 92 days! Stephen and I ended our Juice Feast after 30 days, and I also seem to have let the "Living Spiritual Mind Treatment" experiment fade away as well. Now, I'm just blogging to blog, for blogs-sake, and although I'm not very consistent with it, it's nice to know I can when I want to. (And it beats paying for therapy!)
