February 2007 Issue

Dear Reader,

I have a dream. I foresee a brilliant future in which the people of this world live in balance: taking in wholesome food, finding pleasure in what they do, reveling in their own physicality, communicating and growing in their relationships and engaging in deep spiritual practice. The current health crisis—with its epidemics of obesity, heart disease, diabetes and cancer—will be resolved. No longer will doctors rely on expensive medications and risky operations to fix what is wrong.

Instead, healthcare will focus on love, education, prevention and empowerment of the individual. People will come to trust the wisdom of their own bodies. They will recognize the plain power of sleep, water, clean food and movement to keep them aglow with health and vitality.

Neither corporations nor government will facilitate this revolution. Outward change always begins with individuals. And when individuals come together, when a unified, dedicated group of like-minded souls works toward a common goal, a force for social change is created.

The students who attend our school are becoming a new force creating the dynamic future of health and nutrition. They are unique, wise people, worthy of trust, who want to make a difference. During our training, they undergo significant improvements in their health and lives. Through our unique education they become highly effective in the science and art of creating personal transformation in the lives of clients, family, friends and anyone they meet.

Be assured that you possess the same inherent capacity to help create a better world and to experience success, health and happiness. Together, we will manifest the vibrant future we all deserve.

Recipe: Walnut Cake with Carob Frosting

Try this antidote to typical Valentine's Day sweets. Walnuts have long been considered brain food, not only for their brain-shaped shells, but also for their high concentration of omega-3 fats, which help brain cells function properly. Their earthy flavor and crunch adds to the appeal of this cake made with whole grain pastry flour and sweet maple syrup.
