“I realized preparing plant-based raw living food is one of the most powerful works & actions that you can contribute to yourself and to the world. Through my experience preparing raw living food in many retreats, I witnessed the power to touch the deepest core of my and other’s heart through the food prepared with love. I also realized I’d been so nourished and brought me the deepest healing by nourishing others.”

What do I need to get started?
When you purchase the course, you’ll need to invest in three basic raw food chef tools: a blender, food processor, and dehydrator. These are essential for completing the required work submissions. Prices range from $50 to $350+, depending on your budget and brand preference. In addition, basic kitchen items like mixing bowls, spatulas, measuring cups and spoons, and a kitchen scale are necessary to follow the recipes.
A downloadable list is provided for additional small tools and ingredients. For the other small tools and groceries, you can download the list as reference.
*Many of the tools listed in the course are NOT A MUST. If you’re missing something, there’s usually a workaround, and you can always ask how to replace or adapt a method using what you have on hand.
*Many ingredients are flexible. You’re encouraged to use what’s seasonally and geographically available. The lessons cover this, and you can always reach out for suggestions on substitutions that align with your region or preferences.
Note:
For each module, you’ll receive a downloadable Shopping & Prep list that outlines exactly what ingredients you need and in what quantity, so you can prepare in advance with clarity and confidence.
When Can I Start? Is There an Expiry Date?
You can start anytime and go at your own pace. You’ll have lifetime access to the course, including the videos, which you can rewatch as often as needed.
There’s no expiration for completion. However, it’s highly recommended to finish within 6 months so the material stays fresh when you submit your assessments.

“Dis-ease, is simply dis-harmony from nature. Working with plants and veggies bring us back into alignment. If we align ourselves with the universal energy, our body, mind & spirit function perfectly, just the way they were designed to. We firmly believe that “what we eat” is one of the easiest ways to access that alignment.”
