The Ecological Farming Association nurtures healthy and just farms, food systems, communities and environment by bringing people together for education, alliance building and advocacy.
Food is any substance, usually composed of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and water, that can be eaten or drunk by an animal, including humans, for nutrition or pleasure. Items considered food may be sourced from plants, animals or other categories such as fungus or fermented products like alcohol. Although many human cultures sought food items through hunting and gathering, today most cultures use farming, ranching, and fishing, with hunting, foraging and other methods of a local nature included but playing a minor role.
As talked about in "Understanding Consciousness" part 1, a large part of our consciousness comes from our thoughts and thought patterns. But a large part of our consciousness also comes from what we put inside our bodies. The foods we eat literally affect our consciousness and probably more than most realize.
Raw Spirit International 2010 is a full three-day event featuring two stages (Lake and Meadow Stages) with mixed musical performers and dynamic health-eco-peace research presenters amidst stunningly-beautiful natural backdrops. Additionally, the Sacred Exercise Area (featuring an eclectic array of yoga, chi kung, tai chi, pranayama, poetry, prayers, meditation and beyond) is perched atop the lakeside cliff once again with spectacular vistas of the surreal jagged lake, it's sheer-rock shores and many islands. The Raw Vegan Demos and Tastings are once again in the Hilltop Pagoda with sweeping vistas of panoramic mountains.

ZUMBA is dance movements/steps of Salsa, Merengue, Reggaeton, Cumbia, Samba, Hip Hop....basically Latino based....there is some belly dance movements as well. ZUMBA is done to Latino music...these are dance movements of S. America. ZUMBA is done without a partner, but the same steps can be used when doing these dances with a partner. ZUMBA is backed by fitness organizations since it provides a full body workout utilizing these fun dances. The student learns some basic steps but can do them at their own level....low aerobic or a lot of aerobic....it is low to zero impact type steps....and one can add their own "flavor". My classes have just started in Ashland; 8 to 10 are coming to class. Classes in large cities where I've taught & attended can be as large as 80 people. It's very popular & spreading worldwide. Anyone & everyone....all ages & shapes can do ZUMBA without any previous dance experience. Hope the helps. Here are some websites with MORE information: www.ayni.us www.zumba.com
In Joy, Lynn
PS I tried to make the websites links.....if it doesn't come out OK, here they are again: www.ayni.us www.zumba.com
