Aloha All!

Based on the response to our last newsletter, we have decided to move forward with a 10-day vegan fusion cuisine intensive in Seattle - the first of many mainland events! The course will take place in a private home and can accommodate up to 8 students. The training is a life-changing and transformational experience where you will learn the skills necessary to create healthy and outrageously delicious vegan and raw food cuisine. Please read on for details.

Please visit our blog to see photos and the menu from the chef training we just completed on Kaua'i in January. We also uploaded many photos from both the January and February Kaua'i trainings to our facebook page.

Due to the holiday weekend, we have decided to offer daily rates for our Los Angeles Raw Food and Yoga Workshop for those unable to make it for the full workshop. Please join us for one, two or three days as we explore the important connection between yoga and the foods we eat. Please see below for more details.

We are planning a 3-day Raw Food workshop in Annapolis, Maryland from April 30 - May 2nd. Please email mark@veganfusion.com and include "Maryland workshop" in the subject line for more information.

Also on the table is a one-day class in Port Jefferson, New York on Sunday April 25th. Please email mark@veganfusion.com and include "Port Jefferson class" in the subject line for more information.

As always, we thank you for supporting of our works.
