GOING to Alissa's class!!

[rawpriestess]

Well, I finally decided to take the plunge, and take Alissa's class in September.

SO, I'll be there, how about you?

[livingatthetop]

You will be a great teacher and you should take them with your husband and make it a health duo. Just a thought but I know that you will do fabulous.

[rawpriestess]

Oh LATP, thanks so much, YEP, I am totally jazzed,


Dragggon can't go, someone HAS to take care of our gardens and businesses.

So, I get to go have fun, while he gets to do his job AND my job while I'm gone.

[Dragggon]

with all we have going on with her books and art and the gardens my jewlery and the other 100+ things going on weekly I will have my hands full while she is gone

[livingatthetop]

Well when you come back maybe he can go? Or you can be the chef and instructor and he can help with equipment ligging and recipe tasting.

Any way I am just so happy that you have decided to take the next step in sept. You will be one of the best teachers hands down.

Great recipe advise
knowlegeble about all thing s raw you go. I can;t wait to see your pic on the teacher page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats RP!! You're so knowledgable, I thought you already had!! :)

I do have a question. Once you guys aquire your certification for teaching raw food, where do you guys teach it? From your homes? A rented spot? At the customers home?

I too would like to take all levels of Alissa's classes, but am unsure how I would teach afterwards. I just wanted to get ideas on what other teachers do. What will you do RP?

[rawpriestess]

I have many options, (well, actually everyone does)

but I have a patron who collects my artwork, and he will provide a space for me if I wish to use his ministry, it is a huge building, lots of free parking, and I can do classes there, people could even stay and tent it if they wish, like a retreat too.

Our home is huge, and has many rooms, so we could use that (although Dragggon REALLY doesn't want our home turned into a retreat center) and there are countless places I could rent to teach from, or give a percentage to.

I know alot of people who are alternative healers, etc, who would love to learn about raw foods, and who would be happy to give me a space to teach in return for teaching them, also I'm sure all of that will be covered in Alissa's class, I hear it is very thorough on ALL aspects of teaching.

But my main purpose is Not to teach so much as to have the credentials, so when my book is published, I have lots more initials behind my name of well known instructors.

and besides, I want to meet Alissa, and if I wait too much longer, she will probably be living in Italy, and that is a LONNNNGGGGGG way to go, just to meet anyone. LOL

RP, again, CONGRATS!! I know you'll love it :)

As for where to hold classes...currently I hold most of my classes right here in my home (which is an apartment). My husband bought me a collapsable table that I pull out and it works out really great. I like doing smaller certification classes because it allows more hands-on for them and it's just more personal and cozy.

But I also have been blessed to do classes in other locations such as natural food stores and a natural health facility and those were larger in size, but on a smaller scale than the LOLF training classes...just intro to raw classes.

I also held my very first event in my apartment complex's community room which was "okay", but I prefer to just do it in the comfort of my home where I don't have to worry about if I forgot something and things of that sort.

Awesome news Rawpriestess! I am so happy for you, what a fabulous time you will have! We will all want to hear all about it when you get back, and take tons of pictures for us to see please.

I am very excited to go to Portland in July to attend the Level II class that Janine and Schall are teaching, I can't wait! What a great group of people that are being drawn to learn Alissa's program and teach to spread the word on RAW... I am so happy for you!

[rawpriestess]

I was at one of Rawkinlocs Intro to Raw foods class, and there were tons of people, she did an excellent job and all the questions, thank goodness you have the patience of a saint Rawkie!

And your food, I am taking your next class in May 13 too, I just love your food, YUMMY!!!!!
