Healing-Diets--Pathway to Internal Harmony
HEATHER - a fantastic rainbow community co-creating mother: "I have been able to go to a deeper level in understanding the emotional components and stories in my food behavior that allows me to shift those choices into intention rather than reaction. The learning environment and personal work of my fellow students supported me to be more vulnerable and able to get to more tender wounds through relating and belonging.
The healing foods have cleansed my body and given me the energy for integrating the emotions that come up for me around nurturing myself and making good food choices. I feel I have learned a powerful component to helping others inquire and discover the root of healing behavior to heal from the source, rather than learn some recipes. Mind mapping helped me to drop in and clarify the quality of what I want to create in my life in a more playful way than I usually do."
GABRIEL: raised in a natural living Vermont family and making the commitment to becoming a naturopath, taking all the spring classes. "In feeling my body by being aware of what I am feeding it, has opened many doors. In eating a mostly living diet I feel more of my life force both on a spiritual and physical level. The inquiry into my addictive states, my patterns and my goals has brought insight into my life. This was not about how to eat raw broccoli morning noon and night. This was exploration, listening to the guidance of my body. This was the adventure of finding a subtle vibration in my body that is the guide. My body WHEN connected with my spirit KNOWS! These last three days were the process of opening up those gates, going deep, and then going deeper. I take away the skill to go deep then go deeper, then stop and listen and follow the guidance that flows forth! It is integration at its highest. I love wild and free cooking. Let the food speak! I can now give more time to bringing love and light into my addictive states."
AVERY: switching from nano science to natural medicine is a new life direction from the heart of feeling: "Through body awareness, I have observed how much food can change the mood and internal processes. As my body had a chance to cleanse the toxins from a fairly healthy lifestyle emotions bubbled up and then became more grounded and clear. The opportunity to learn in a small class with people who share similar situations has made this process deeper and more meaningful, like we all care and all believe there is enough space for each to fully BE. The mind maps have really been eye opening in the way I associate traumatic and optimistic patterns. I have seen how rational and dualistic I am in those thought forms and how asking questions can help to rewire these habitual and addictive behaviors. I came into Healing Diets addicted to meet and though I may not give it up entirely, I feel that using more Healing Diet practices are an exciting and healthful way to expand my self healing practice. The juices and raw soups have helped to dispel my fear of vegetarian meals. I have learned so much more than eating veggies. Healthful eating is about giving the body what it needs with a minimum of self destructive behavior and being honest about lying to myself about addictions."

I've now been
reconnected with my dream of opening a healthy,
organic, gluten free cafe and cultural center.
Seeing and making the food and experiencing
everyone's creativity and artistic sense has
completed my vision of the cafe. Now I can make
delicious and attractive raw, living foods for people
that never thought healthy food could taste good."
Deanna, recently moved to Boulder from San Diego,
California
"Healthy, living food is delicious! I was surprised
and delighted by the wide variety of tastes and
dishes that we prepared with Farida.
With food like this, no one will feel unsatisfied or
feel like they are being deprived. It will be easy to
help clients choose healthy eating when they are
offered this wonderful food." Maggie,

"Healing Diets II class amazed me as I can definitely
incorporate all these things right away. I thought it
was going to be difficult but surprisingly, it was
simple, with wonderful alternatives, and available
ingredients. The first couple of days of the cleanse
made a big difference and by the fourth day my body
was responding well. I feel great. These nutritious
foods are activating and restoring my system.
The class is simple, creative, fun and very loving
and we all helped prepared these nurturing
meals."
Kristina, San Francisco area, California
"Healing
Diets is such an amazingly inspiring class! I learned
that it's just fine to play and experiment in the
kitchen with real joy and appreciation of food. What
a wonderful group of women. I recommend this class to
anyone who wants to learn simple, delicious ways to
incorporate healthy, living foods into their diet. I
feel so much energy –
it's truly a wonderful, life changing experience –
fun, creative, healing!"
Carolyn, Boulder, Colorado
"I
became vegetarian since July 2010 during a severe
stressful situation, and when I took Healing Diets I
Farida showed us a DVD about processed food and meat
preparation, I realized that I made the right choice.
In Healing Diets II this week,
I experienced a variety of green energy soups (never
had them before!) and drinks, and learned about the
benefits of living foods, fermented foods, rejuvelac,
coconut kefir, and their important role in digestion
and healing.
Natasha Henry taught and showed us amazing recipes.
Farida, as always, connected 'craving' and
addictions' to certain foods and emotional states.
Thank you for teaching this amazing class." Dila,

Essential Oils I - In The Landscape of Self We Discover True Feelings & Authentic Choice
Essential
Oils I - Death, Dying, Release, Transformation,
Theories of Change,
Spiral Dynamics,
Heart Math,
the
Eneagagram,
Brain Integration,
Mind Maps, basic
beliefs,
Flower of Life and
Self-Healing processes intertwine to safely nurture
seeking souls into their inner landscape. Personal
creative healing processes based on these models are
different from studying them - wisdom in experience
is the key to evolved conscious practice and service.
Maggie, New
Hampshire - "Death, dying, transformation, change -
there are a myriad ways to 'die' that lead to
transformation and infinite ways to change. This Oils
class delves into the hidden channels and chasms
where inauthentic thought forms and emotions live,
brings them to the surface to look at and explore,
and then allows you to courageously decide to change
and transform. Whether it be basic beliefs that have
been part of you forever, or newly acquired
inaccurate beliefs that don't serve you, it is well
worthwhile to examine them, keep those that resonate
with your well-being, and ease out those that don't.
Farida facilitates this process with insightful
questions and listening, and guides the entire group
in self-discovery. These truths will translate into
meaningful treatments for clients, helping them with
their own transformations."
Jennifer, British Columbia - "We went very deep, very
quickly. On the first day we explored how
experiencing death has affected us and how we view
our relationship with death and dying. Exploring
change within group sharing has helped deepen my
understanding of all the different aspects that add
to and take away from our personalities. Carrying our
an exercise to get in touch with our basic beliefs
was surprisingly more difficult than we imagined. It
was interesting to look at them on paper and see the
positive and negative thought forms for what they
really are – and perhaps how and when they were
created in our life.
All of this
work helps to open us more to the ability to use
essential oils with ourselves and others in an even
more compassionate and conscious way and with a
greater depth of understanding. Now on to two days of
giving and receiving the Raindrop treatment with
Young Living Essential Oils!!"
"Kathryn, Denver, Colorado - "Entering into the
process of this class has revealed a landscape of
myself that holds many clues to my becoming. Looking
deeply into the thought patterns and basic beliefs
that I have carried through life as my foundation has
been a useful exercise in that it encourages me to
not only understand my own damage, wounds and
transformation, but it also sets the landscape of
what others are working with as
well.
Realizing
that we have a responsibility to make choices that
lead us in the direction that we want to move towards
is an empowering way to inspire one to choose change.
Too often we fear the changes that open doors to a
life worth living. While the death of a person, a
relationship, an era.... can be painful, it doesn't
stay this way forever. If we are frozen in fear, the
movement toward transformation is nearly impossible.
Yet, embracing the possibility of the unknown, as
difficult and hard as we paint it... is the only
doorway worth passing through."

"This class
was a gift handed to me by God and delivered in a
shared effort by angels. I can't wait to start
practicing these amazing techniques and make my dream
a reality! This has been the most exciting and
delicious
course I've
ever taken. After experiencing just the first few
hours of class, I was hit with this amazing feeling
of being exactly where I was meant to be. The open
discussion, full picture, and hands-on approach is
more beneficial and inspiring than I ever thought
possible.
