or should that be raw treat?
i've signed up, after much dithering, to go on a weekend course courtesy of karen knowler.
she runs scheduled weekends, telecourses and lots of raw food coaching sessions but this is the second time she's announced a short notice 'transformation' weekend.
i read her blog and generally keep an eye out for her. she is very much the voice of reason of the raw food world, and much as i love shazzie's hippy vibe, karen's methodical, practical and pragmatic approach is much more helpful to me and the way i try to involve raw in my life.
so when i saw the blog post i spoke to booyaa about it. he can't come as he's on call - and i'm not sure he would come to this kind of weekend, perhaps a festival rather than a learning weekend. anyway, he was adamant i should do it. i haven't been able to go to any of the other retreats that have dropped in my inbox recently and this seems serendipitous right now. i've been struggling to stay raw for months now and i need to work it out and sort it out and some good old-fashioned motivation, a support network and time to focus on why i want to be raw will all be very helpful.
so, that's it, i've booked my place. i'm going on friday after work and will be there until sunday afternoon. it will be awful to be away from boo for a whole weekend but i feel like it's the right thing to do for me. and it means he'll be able to eat what he likes, kill lots of monsters and hack code for hours on end without me nagging him to step away from the screen...
