Holiday / Activity Overview:

Experience the increase in energy, clarity and general health that comes from eating 100% raw food for a short period. We will learn how to make sauces and spreads to bring out the flavours of the raw food we will be preparing. We'll learn how to sprout a variety of seeds to accompany our main courses, we will sun dry fresh tomatos and fresh fruit. There are many many health benefits from eating raw, and a week or two eating raw food exclusively will show you the great variety and possibilities there are that you might never have imagined. Most of us have an addiction to cooked food and until you eat raw for a week you never realise it.

Guide / Holiday Course Tutor

Paula Wilson writes: Brought up by my father, my diet oscillated between tinned/packeted food in the winter and an abundance of home-grown veg and local fruit in the summer. As a teenager at boarding school, the vegetarian option was lifeless, over-cooked veg so I insisted on salads. Had I known where I was going with my diet, I might have got there a lot quicker but I effortlessly ditched eggs and all dairy products one by one. On turning vegan, I had a brief six month fling with a high raw food diet in 1983 after reading Raw Energy by Leslie Kenton but was still including bread, margarine and nut butters.

About 12 years ago, I would go raw on our 2-3 week summer camping holidays. On about the third year, my first ‘normal’ (i.e. cooked) meal on returning home knocked me sideways with exhaustion. From that moment on I just completely stopped cooking!

For the past 12 years, I have worked as a builder/carpenter. I enjoy doing practical stuff and love working outside all year round. In my long friendship with Dr Helen Ford, I have unofficially catered at many of her workshops, providing a banquet of delicious salads which have inspired many people to increase their raw food consumption.
