Radiantly Alive and Pure Joy Living Academy
Raw Chef Certification Course
May 4 - June 5, 2011

The raw food movement is thriving. Not only are many people learning that it's a yummy and healthy way to eat, it also helps us live to our maximum delight in life. Developing skills in preparing raw food increases the quality of one's life (and dinner parties), it can also can lead to great employment possibilities. We're thrilled to have Elaina Love with us this May for the Radiantly Alive raw chef training here in Bali. The four week training runs in parallel with our yoga teacher training, lending the great benefit of real world kitchen training (rather than just theoretical) plus a range of incredible benefits and opportunities for those interested in yoga and more.

Your education combines the best of all elements – Elaina’s expertise and training, the practical and rewarding experience of preparing food for yogis, a dynamic and enthusiastic educational staff guiding the apprentices, plentiful and incredible all-organic local fruits, vegetables and superfoods (coconuts, cacao, cashews and more), the opportunity to participate in portions of the yoga training - and all set in the beauty of spiritual Bali.

What better way than working in the kitchen with your Instructor along side to guide you? When you come to Bali for my Pure Joy Academy, you will become certified as a raw food chef and caterer. You’ll get a chance to practice teaching in front of a group and get the experience of a lifetime!

There’s no better way to learn than doing, so that is why I am so excited to teach you how to cater raw foods. We’ll be providing incredibly nourishing foods in support of hungry yoga students and their teachers. This course teaches you how to take chances and balance flavors, learn how to think on your feet and get the job done in a timely and efficient manner. This is a rare opportunity for those of you who really want to go for it and see what goes on behind the raw food catering and food production scene.
