Here are just a few shots from my trip to Fort Bragg yesterday for the 2008 Vibrant Living Expo so beautifully organized and hosted by Cherie Soria’s Living Light Culinary Institute.

(Yes – I am a TOTAL DORK AND GROUPIE and I ABSOLUTELY MUST have my photo taken with everyone. Get over it.)

Highlights: meeting and speaking with Kevin Gianni and his wife, Annmarie, of the Renegade Health Show . the beautiful people who create Sacred Chocolate (oh my god – go there and buy everything!!! ) . chatting with Dorit (she is absolutely charming) . listening to David Rainoshek (the brain behind Juice Feasting) and meeting Katrina . talking with and hearing Fred Bischi .  always amazing to share space with Gabriel Cousens . seeing old friends like Doug Graham and Don Weaver ….and of course the F O O D ! ! !
