Raw Living

If you are in the Sacramento and are interested in Gurdjieff's teaching, then please look at the following page: http://Gurdjieff-Sacramento.Org/ You will find the information needed to contact a Real Teacher of the Fourth Way.

Garden Time! It's time for the fall vegetables to be planted in the garden. My little baby and I have been out there several mornings before it gets hot, sewing seeds for cold weather crops like chard, lettuces, broccoli, and pole beans. Hopefully it will be a green winter! Though since I've been pregnant and had the baby, I haven't had the energy or the time I used to take to prepare wholly raw food, I still enjoy it the most. When eating raw food (especially food right out of the garden), the life and energy can be felt so much more strongly than even food from the farmer's market (where baby girl and I will head later today). I can't wait for my little plants to emerge from the soil. Some carrots and chard already have.

Bruce Freedman, friend of this blog (a better friend than even I've been for quite some time), will have a "pop-up" showing his art at Prieure West Gallery Friday and Saturday August 19th and 20th. The theme is "Radiance," and explores the theme through color and patterning forms. It's free, and open to the public. On the 19th, there is also a wine and cheese reception...I'll take the wine, and there's sure to be something for those living the raw life! Find out more at Gurdjieff Legacy's website:

Meet the artist at the Priéure West Gallery, 121 Manor Rd., Fairfax, CA, 94930, with wine and cheese reception, Fri., Aug. 19 at 6 p.m. The gallery opens again Sat., Aug. 20 from noon to 4 p.m.

The new issue of the Gurdjieff Journal is out now. See what current topics are looked at from the perspective of the Fourth Way:

There is a new Gurdjieff Journal out...looks like some very interesting articles on Confuscianism and "The Art of Love" by Margarette Anderson, a very interesting writer. Look for it at: http://www.gurdjieff-legacy.org/10journal/tgjcurrent.htm

Now Gurdjieff-Legacy has announced the dates of the next three seminars. Take a look: http://www.gurdjieff-legacy.org/20announce/events.php

Gurdjieff-Legacy has changed the theme of its March Seminar. It is now "Being-Partkdolg-Duty & Being-Obligolnian-Duty." This is interesting, because the first entry I did on this blog was about the First Obligolnian Striving, to have in our ordinary being existence everything satisfying and really necessary for our planetary body. It is labeled students only, but interested parties will find more on the website at http://www.gurdjieff-legacy.org/20announce/events.php?page=2

So I've been SERIOUSLY neglecting this blog, as I have not been staying true to rawness (especially when it comes to dinner). However, I have been congratulating myself on eating much more raw food than the rest of the nation. That, and telling my elementary students that if they are really "not hungry," then they should at least eat the raw fruits and vegetables on their plate from the school. But I've recently got a boost in the raw diet area since my husband has been eating (more) raw more happily lately. So we've been juicing and smoothieing and salading, eating guacamole on veggie chips...and I feel really good right now!

Also, the new Gurdjieff Journal is available, and as you know, I am a reader. The cover article, "Human Life in the Technological World Time," though not specifically about food, has implications to this blog for sure. The question, "how are we going to relate to other people when machines are so paramount?" leads me to extend the question to all areas, including the mechanization of our food.

Gurdjieff-Legacy has announced four new events, including two talks, a workshop, and a recital of Gurdjieff's music, a rare treat indeed! http://www.gurdjieff-legacy.org/20announce/events.php
