This is a very popular walk if you haven't done it already. We start opposite the beach outside the big coogee hotel walk over to Gordens bay (the next beach) and swim there if you want to swim, then to Clovelly beach, Bronte and end at Bondi Beach. This is not a difficult walk and takes approx 2 hours however swimming will be done along the way so allowing for a few stops we should end up at Bondi around 3pm. Bring raw or vegan food and *lots* of water and sunscreen. With the sunny weekend weather expected Coogee gets quite busy so if you have a mobile phone it is helpful to take that and my number 0409104700 - if you get lost. warm wishes,
Karyn

This class i'd like to make is all about raw chocolate (which especcially good before easter). I will provide information about benefits of including raw cacao in your diet (guilt free), how to make delicious and very healthy chocolate snacks, cakes and other deserts. I also want to talk about peruvian superfoods (Lucuma, Mesquite, Agave, Yacon) that are great to use in deserts and fool of antioxidants, and will include some of them in the cooking class. Basically the class includes generous tasting of food, comprehensive information about raw deserts and its benefits and recipe booklet. (duration 3 1/2 hours) From Olya

Back by popular demand - this walk goes from Coogee, Gordons Bay, Clovelly, Bronte and finally Bondi. Visiting some of the best Sydney beaches, it is an easy walk taking a maximum of 2 hours with amazing views. Bring raw or vegan food for dinner on the grass area at Bondi.
Bring swimming gear if you want to swim. If it rains we'll postpone otherwise please rsvp if/when you know you are coming or txt me if you can't make it by 6pm so we are not kept waiting.

This is an ideal time for new members to come along, share their experiences and be introduced. Topic discussion ideas; Reports show cancer is strongly linked to health and diet. I have a recent report from a US hospital outlining how meat and animal product diets cause an environment for cancer to thrive. Natalie will bring this along. Can you reduce your risk of cancer through a vegan diet? Does a vegan diet provide all our nutritional requirements? How does a person introduce a raw diet to their body? Is there a timeframe? What experiences do we have that can be used to help support this? Your ideas and information are valuable to our group and we all appreciate the input. Existing members please remember your annual donation of $10 if you have not already paid. See you then. How to get there: http://www.qvb.com.a u/IPOH/QVB/me.get?site.sectionshow&PAGE297

If you are meeting us to walk over, please meet on the corner out the front of the cafe at 7pm. Please call
Natalie on 0417 677 841 if there are any problems :) Otherwise, we'll be waiting at the front of the building near Regimental Crescent. The building is closer to Missenden Road than City Road, so coming in from Parramatta Road at Western Avenue may be the best bet." The cafe website: http://www.baddemanorscafe.com/contact.htm Hope to see you there.

BYO raw food or vegan dish. All opinions and ideas are welcome. Other than scientifically proven facts, what you think is neither right or wrong as everyone has different and unique exerpiences. I believe we can learn from each other and accept that an individual's truth regarding health sometimes come from personal experiences which we are grateful to share. Discussion on Raw & Vegan Values - What percentage of the diet should be raw or vegan to rightfully identify as one? Are ALL raw diets healthy and the people that adhere to them? Are raw vegans healthier than someone consuming raw animal flesh as well? Is there any proof that eating a diet predominately consisting of fruit and veges promotes longevitiy? What is your favourite vegan or raw dish that you would like to share with the rest of the group?
