Re: planning a vegan macrobiotic gathering?

[Guest guest]

Dear Bruce and others...

I have an idea that I would like to propose to those of this

group.

Just as our New England war tax resister/refuser group plans a

gathering each fall - has anyone of this group considered the

idea of hosting/planning a vegan macrobiotic gathering - that

would bring like minded souls together along with people

interested in learning of macrobiotics from a vegan point of

view?

I would offer to help put one together - I have experience

cooking for workshops and in organizing events. A gathering

could be held in any number of places in our area - or another

area people feel might be more centrally located.

I do not have macrobiotic 'credentials' but have years of

knowledge and understanding gleaned from reading on my own and

personal experience rather than taking courses through Kushi

Institute. [Not that the Kushi Institute is not a lovely place].

If others with 'credentials' were interested in coming together

to offer a workshop or 2 we would have an opportunity to share

what we have learned over the years. [Tom Monte lives here in

Amherst - has offered a few evening programs on aspects of

macrobiotics here - as well as cooking classes on Saturday

mornings in his home.]

Any interest in such an endeavor? There are 5 colleges of

students living in our little valley along with a progressive

activist community. Or there is Earthlands - a retreat

center/ecological living center off the grid - over in sham

MA that I believe would be open to hosting such a gathering.

What do people think of the idea? Em

Let the beauty we love be what we do. Rumi

Let everything you do be done in love.

Dear Klara..

You live in Israel? So very far away. I housesat in land

last winter for a couple traveling to Israel to live on a

kibbutz for a month. And I have a friend living in Leverett

with 5 children who grew up in Israel.

With regards to a gathering - let's see what happens. Take

care. Blessings, Em

Dear ...

Lovely to find your message. Perhaps a vegan macrobiotic

gathering can be arranged - at Earthlands or elsewhere. Please

stay in touch. It may take a bit of time to pull together

enough people for such a gathering. Take care. Blessings,

Hi Em,

I've been off-line over the holidays, but just read all your

wonderful posts. They really touched me.

I would encourage you to start any type of group. I learned

macrobiotics in Japan and then returned to Hawaii where I've started

cooking classes, personal chef work, and monthly dinners -- a

business entirely from scratch -- and wonderful things have

manifested in 1 year and 7 mos. The dinners in particular are

consistently sold out with rave reviews!

I'm sure any group you could put together would be appreciated and

welcomed.

Aloha,

Where are you in Hawaii? I want to send people to your dinners.

Okay, and I want to come to one too. I have a friend in Hawaii who

wants me to come and speak there. He is on a big island. I've always

wanted to go to Kawaii. I might be one of the few people in L.A. who

hasn't been to Hawaii yet...

Macrobiotic Community Dinner Mission Statement

Our goals are to:

• build community by providing a forum for people to meet,

share, and exchange information and ideas as equal human beings

through healthy discussions.

• cook healthy food of the best possible quality available

with positive energy. Organic ingredients (such as grains, beans,

and leafy greens) are our priority, and we purchase traditionally

handcrafted/harvested products (like sea vegetables, miso, amazake,

shoyu, and umeboshi vinegar). We enter the kitchen with joy and

happiness that we can share what we have learned with others, and to

express ourselves through the meditative art of cooking.

• nourish people in body, mind, and spirit. We believe that we

care for our bodies when we eat good food, showing self-respect and

self-love, which increases our quality of life.

• stand by the environment by using local and seasonal

ingredients whenever possible, thereby reducing the amount of

petroleum needed to ship items here. Buying locally and seasonally

also supports the local economy.

• provide a fair and living wage for the markets and

companies we purchase from, for the farmers, and for ourselves,

based on the quality of food we prepare for our customers.

Thank you for allowing us to share with you!
