You are so welcome! I guess whoever gets the newsletter first gets to post aye?

I will not be attending, althou the speakers look great and fun, as I am busy with my work.

I see this has had many views, but few comments on such a popular couple..... ha ha ha!

Maybe some egos at work????

Go see the laughing yogi if you need help!!!!! :)

I see so much of what they do as publicity and product marketing of their personal lives. But I find this happening a lot in the raw world. I am tired of them and have recently deleted their blogs from my Google Reader.

Personally, I like the way Karen Knowler has handled her popularity. I find her more real.

I suppose that you have to seek publicity if you want to succeed. I get the impression from Matt's sales emails that he does sell some things at cost. It is hard to judge when you do not know the motives. I will give him the benefit of the doubt for now.
There are others that I rate as worse than him.

Despite how some of you feel and because of how others of you feel, I've booked Matt and Angela together for a special edition of Let's Talk Raw (http://LetsTalkRaw.com) Sunday, May 3 at 9 a.m. Pacific time.

I wish we could all create our incomes sharing our lives and our loves. You've most likely heard the saying "Do what you love and the money will follow"? Well, it's not always true. Sometimes you have to do what you need to do and find what you love in that until you can do what you love.

Far as I know, both Matt and Angela are enjoying their lives. Why not support and celebrate their joy? We don't know their full stories; what they think, who they are, why they do what they do. We say we don't want to be judged yet, we're always ready to stand in judgment of others, aren't we?

Enjoy YOUR life and learn what you can from others. Do what makes your heart sing and if what you see others doing is not it, then don't do that but consider no condemning them for what they're doing. We're all here for our lessons and they're all different.

Injoy,

I think it's really okay to have an opinion that is not judging. A question was posed and I answered it. I think I would deserve your response if I had just started a thread about them. I thought I was having a conversation. I know there are others who feel like me, but didn't post for precisely a response like this!

My opinion of their business practices has nothing to do with their commitment to each other as a couple and wishing them a wonderful life, which I totally do!

Was my response directed toward you? I was speaking in general; you took in personally. How interesting is that?

Missed you yesterday. Great class... lots of food ~ crackers, cookies, breads, burgers, cuke and tomato salad, cobbler....

As far as this response to me... we're always judging. It's a part of human nature. It's how we make decisions. That's it!

Oo, I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the class. That tax thing just took me by surprise. I did my taxes late, which I don't normally do. THAT won't happen again!

My response was in response to your response! Of course, it was directed to me if I am part of 'general.' Not interesting at all, just normal. lol I don't think we're always 'judging' per say. In this case, I was looking at the situation with a critical eye, based on my experience of something that had happened just that day. How's that for synchronicity? So I guess I was ripe for an opinion when asked. My heart was not in a judging mode, just in a personal experience mode.

rawlight I appreciate your honesty.Really we are most often and usually always coming from our own personal experience.

Even feeling the need to defend something someone speaks freely of here comes from inside a person.

This is a forum where we can speak as we wish and without being confronted. We can feel as we feel and its ok.

I personally do not get on the raw guru bandwagon. I tire of it all too. Not for me and I too like real people that are of the earth and humble. Its ok to say so.We all get to choose our path. Not judging others yet judging for ourselves what we partake of or not.

If we were all carbon copies, we would all like same things and people and etc.We are not.

Please continue to share. We like to hear from you. Best.

:)Well said!

I value these folks for the information they can share. If they choose to sell products as well- at least the things they sell are things I can use! What if no raw person sold anything? What if they wrote no books, did no speaking engagements, found fair trade foods and other neat raw foods/appliances? Raw would still raw, sure, but not nearly as fun, vibrant, and interesting.

I just bought Angelas book Raw Emotion- and honestly, there is not other book like this out there. She understand eating disorders and how raw can not only help but make them surface. As someone thats is struggling staying raw after having issues come to the surface after being raw almost a year, I am SO GRATEFUL to have this book basically fall into my lap.

I judge nor critisize no one in the raw world. We are all on our paths, and each person has some information they can share with you- and you with others.

Jesus Christ was not an essene...that is the new age jesus, written about in new age books, not the Jesus of the Bible...
...just wanted to clarify, & defend my Lord's reputation....not that He needs defending, lol!

I'm wondering why the disparaging remarks. I've met David, (Matt and Angela) and, even though I don't agree on his stance about so-called super foods, etc., I like him as a person (and them as people). He's available to talk with people, he's sharp, he's available and not stand-offish as many people with way less notoriety, etc. Everyone has a path and this is his.

He's done a lot of research and this is what he's choosing to focus on so, unless you think you're better than he is.... or anyone else for that matter...

I know for me, if I were as young as he, doing what he's doing.. I'd have a much bigger head; I'd have hit some serious upper limits.... He, as far as I can see, is very balanced, has a great sense of humor, LOTS of energy... I had NO idea who I was at that age and where I wanted to go. So, who's jealous?

You are correct. Let he who is without blemish cast the first stone.
He is helping to get the message out.

Okay, update time.
No, we aren't going. my DH has severely hurt his back at work, and is now totally incapacitated. He's on LNI, and right now, he can't even walk. It could be MONTHS before he's recovered. Camping (and the 8 hour car trip to get there) is completely out of the question. :(

What I do want to say, however, is just how WONDERFUL Matt Monarch and his crew are. He IMMEDIATELY refunded the ticket/camping price... just like that, as gracious as can be! Good people. That kind of integrity speaks volumes to me.

Whoever does go, be sure to have a great time, and know that my blessings for the wedding and the event go with you.

They are inviting total strangers to their wedding. They know that we are all linked together through our love for raw foods. It would be a great thing to experience being at a place where everyone was raw. I am always out numbered. If I had the money I would go. Someday I will make it to a raw festival and it will be lots of fun. I might not agree or even like some of the raw gurus out there but I appreciate them for keeping the raw movement alive. The only thing that is a little frusterating is the whole superfoods thing. It kinda takes away from the idea of just eating fruits and veggies and nothing processed. Maybe some of these superfoods work..but if you are already buying organic fruits and veggies..you don't have much money left over for a package of supersomething. Most that stuff gives me a headache anyways. So yah..I am happy for them and they seem like a cute couple. This will be lots of fun for them and whoever goes. If they make money off it...power to them..that just means they are making a living doing what they love. And how brilliant to actually make money off a wedding than paying thousands of dollars for one day. I would do it. Anyone wanna pay to come see me get married in the Caribbean? hehe.

Well, seriously, I didn't think the money for admission was that much.
When we bought the tickets, it was $65 each.
That covers the 2 day raw expo event, with all the speakers, music, and demos.
Plus, that also covers the wedding reception raw food and juice bar. $65 each for a raw buffet meal with beverage is pretty good.
Most raw expo events cost more, and don't include ANY meal.
I'm just bummed out that we can't go now. :(
