February 2016
 
As I write this, I've been iced in for five days! Because we're moving into another cold month, think about what warms your heart. What activities and people give you that feeling of upliftment? Take time this month to listen to that feeling of warmth in your heart when you notice it. And then spend more time with those people and activities!
 
 
 
  Monday morning &Thursday evening classes will continue to be informed by the book "Outrageous Openness - Letting the Divine Take the Lead" by Tosha Silver. We will enjoy great quotes from her book & practice Kundalini yoga & Meditation as taught by Yogi Bhajan to give us an experience of how we can allow the Divine to take the lead in our lives! Each class will be taught twice, once on Monday, and once on Thursday.

Quote of the Month
 
 
Recipe of the Month
Live soup
This is a recipe for a raw, living soup that is fairly hearty for this cold weather! If you would like to warm it but keep enzymes intact, you can place it in a dehydrator at 115 degrees or VERY lightly warm it on the stove. You may also blend it a few times to let it warm in the blender.
Ingredients:
1 cup coconut water (preferrably from a fresh young coconut, or purchase packaged RAW coconut water)
1 cup zucchini
1 cup tomato
juice of one lemon
1 small avocado
1/2 cup parsley
1/2 cup cilantro
1 tsp. sea salt, or to taste
2 TB. nama shoyu (unpasteurzied soy sauce)
1 tsp. jalapeno pepper
2 TB tahini
4 TB olive oil
1/2 tsp. Italian herb mix (basil, thyme, oregano, garlic)
Blend all ingredients together. If you have a large blender like a Vitamx or Blendtec, you can double the amount. If the soup is too thick, add some water.
Final touch: 1 small zucchini, grated
1/2 cup tomato, diced.
Divide these non-blended vegetables into the soup bowls. Decorate with leaves of parsley.
