Hello to you!

It’s your business partner and the official Uncooking 101 hostess Eva Rawposa here. I want to talk to you about doing business and teaching about raw food, from the heart.

You’re probably here on this page because you have interest in sharing raw food with others, whether it be your friends and family or on a much bigger scale. You may already be sharing in some way. (Actually, chances are good that you already are! Raw food is so hard not to share!)

I really want help you pass this on in the best way you possibly can, a way that serves you and your loved ones (whether they be friends, family or clients) in the way most fits YOU. I can’t even fully express JUST how much I want to help you. The way I see it is that this is the best thing I can do for you… I want to give you all of the following:

1. the tools you need to share effectively (things like cheat sheets, class outlines and materials, some starter marketing ideas, etc.)
2. the AHA! moments that help you “get” what other people need to understand This Raw Food Thing (because honestly, what use is good marketing if people come to your classes but don’t leave inspired to make magic?!)
3. the guts and the confidence to do it well, from marketing to execution!

I have to tell you a snippet of my story to help you understand why this is so important to me… I personally had the following issues (and more, actually) just before going raw:
ulcers * acne * ADHD * depression * gas * mood swings * fatigue * (and I could go on…)

After just a few days raw, it seemed like a MIRACLE… everything was fine again… except it wasn’t even just “fine”. It’s like the birds were chirping just for me, and the sun was shining down, and the clouds were nowhere to be found. Literally and figuratively, it seemed! My whole life just *BAM* changed for the better. Not just my health, but my overall sense of inexplicable joy, pure satisfaction with what I already have, and freedom from all the mindset issues that held me back.

And life just keeps on getting better.

More than 4 and a half years later, and I can’t even stretch myself hard to remember exactly what it was like before I was raw. My life, my spirit, my mind, my health, were just so dismal compared to how I feel now! I can’t fully understand depression or an achy body now. I can hardly even understand pain!

Wonderfully, it’s not just me that this kind of thing happens to. The longer I teach others about raw, the more people who come to me, continually inspiring me (again and again!) at just how AMAZING of a transformation CAN be made. At just how CAPABLE the human body is. At just how POWERFUL our choices can make us over our lives and health and well-being!

When I consider “working” in a different business, I feel like I would be missing out.

In the time I’ve been teaching others about raw food and began even certifying others to teach (starting in 2007), I’ve literally shared raw food with thousands of people! Not a day passes that I don’t feel intense satisfaction for what I do. Most days, I receive AT LEAST one or two emails from people who want me to know their lives are changing, or that they are just generally appreciative of what we’re doing. I feel like my life matters… like what I am doing has real meaning!

What other kind of “work” could come close to this level of satisfaction? How can I know who could have been saved from a heart attack or diabetes or cancer or… even just the BLAH feeling so many people seem to have? How could I walk away from this?

This is a HUGE part of why it brings me pleasure to help others with their own businesses sharing raw food. I know if you have a passion for this, you really could use the tools you need to get great momentum going. Much better than letting the passion fizzle because it’s too much of a learning curve to figure out all the many details!

THE LOCATION

It’s not just by chance we host events on the island of Martha’s Vineyard… It’s one of the most beautiful, amazingly paradise-like places on earth. Obviously that’s a plus! But it’s because it is such a clean, peaceful place that we can more easily peel away the layers to find our best selves underneath.

The house is in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts near the water and in the home of the lovely gingerbread village that might just be the most adorable neighborhood you’ve ever laid eyes on in your life!

To get here, you can fly straight to the island. (I recommend searching using Kayak.com and putting the destination airport as MVY – Martha’s Vineyard.) You could also fly to Boston and take an easy bus ride to Woods Hole. OR, if you are coming from Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, or even Washington, D.C. you will find there are buses to bring you here as well. If you are driving, you’ll drive to Woods Hole, MA. For your convenience upon registering, your automatic email confirmation will include this info in much better detail.

THE DATES/AGENDA

This is a 1-time certification vacation, nothing like anything we have ever offered before, that will be held from May 25 to 28. You may drop your bags off and arrive earlier or leave later, but the official check-in time on your arrival day is 4pm, and the official check-out time on your departure day is 10am.

During the mornings and evenings, you’re MINE for classes. But during the day, you’ll be able to take a (raw!) picnic lunch with you to explore the island with other guests. (Fun!!) We’re in a spot that’s easy to get to the main area of Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, AND Vineyard Haven for the beaches, shops, sightseeing, etc.

Janice (pictured below) joined me to become certified as a raw food chef in 2008 and continues to stay in touch, keeping me updated on the amazing turns her life has taken since then!

Taking classes with Eva is always a real treat – her energy and enthusiasm for teaching are contagious. From the start of every class, we really dive into everything. There is no topic off limits, which always makes for some extra entertainment… people ask some of the funniest questions. I don’t know how she always has the answers, but she is like a walking, talking, laughing (and always smiling) encyclopedia.

And she tells it like it is, gives you all those little details to make everything EASY. She even tells you what not to do, keeps you laughing when she tells anecdotes about the lessons she learned the hard way.

There is simply no way to walk out of one of Eva’s classes without a smile. And you definitely leave knowing ALL there is to know to go home and make the same tasty dish yourself. And everything is so tasty. Ridiculously tasty.

Not to mention, the materials are always so professional and thorough. I can’t say enough good things about learning and playing in the kitchen in private classes with Eva or in one of the big group classes. I have never been disappointed.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

You will find there are NO hidden fees, surprise commissions, memberships to maintain, or special food to buy. Nothing. Bring yourself, and we will take care of the rest! I say that because… truthfully… I want to entice you to come join us. I want to break through any of the fears you may have from past experiences. So, yes, EVERYTHING below is included in the wonderful value package we created with you in mind.

HERE IS WHAT IS INCLUDED AT NO EXTRA CHARGE

Your All-Inclusive Stay in the pictured gingerbread cottage in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, on the island of Martha’s Vineyard

ALL MEALS for the entire time you stay with us. Your meals vary from day to day, usually including a lovely breakfast buffet with freshly made nut milk, granola, cereal, made-to-order pancakes, parfaits, juice, smoothies, etc.; a picnic lunch; afternoon snacks; and a casual party/buffet-style dinner with a lovely mix of appetizers and a special entree chosen each evening

Your Welcome Pack with our homemade raw chocolates, granola, and a professionally bound book full of recipes to bring home recipes of the very meals you will enjoy while you stay with us, as well as some general info to help you on your way with your journey to you most vibrant/healthy life

Certification as a Living Foods chef

Access to THREE of my proven sell-out classes that YOU can go home and teach… I will even tell you how I sold them out so you can do the same for yourself. (You might be VERY surprised at this…)

Bound, laminated copies of each class, to use over and over when you teach different clients or groups AND the computer files too, so you can print out extra copies for whatever number of signups you have.

Permission to teach these classes to others as often as you would like with NO extra fees to pay to me, ever! YOU set the price, and YOU keep everything you earn. We’ll talk about pricing variations and WHY to price low or high for different classes. (You might be surprised at this too… I have special reasons for how low or high I price certain classes, which often help ensure long-term profitability and success rather than only looking at the short term.)

You’ll have your chance to shine, with the opportunity to teach OTHERS in the group. We’ll do a very gentle and loving, but intensely useful, critique of each other. This will be a small, tight-knit group and one that is easy to teach a class to if you need to learn more on HOW to teach in a “safe space.”

The Home Study Teacher Training (A $495+ value!) mailed WHEN YOU REGISTER so you’ll have time to complete the training at your leisure before you arrive.

Seriously, if you are new to teaching, don’t worry! I’ll take you under my wing… we will have a class on teaching styles and finding your voice. (And this is in addition to the Home Study Teacher Training!!)

SPECIAL OFFER FOR BOOKINGS BY APRIL 15

A private consultation with me on your current or desired business This can be PRICELESS for whatever you need — whether it be branding yourself, resolving an issue you’ve had, creating a blueprint for your success in your local (or larger!) market. It’s whatever you want it to be!

If it would help you immensely, I would LOVE help you set up a basic website, shopping cart, and payment processor in your free consultation so you’d literally go home ready to move your business forward in a SNAP!

Want to see an example? Meet Jessica Wyman. Jessica has been growing wheatgrass and sprouts and selling them locally on a very small scale, but her business (and income!) couldn’t grow without a better way to manage her customers. After months of thinking and researching and trying to figure out the website and payment details, we got her set up in no time. Literally, we set up a shopping cart, email confirmations for all customers (and a database to store them in!), a simple website, a survey, a way to send emails, AND on top of it all a way for her to receive payments via cash, check, ANY credit card, or PayPal.

This could all be accomplished in an hour. No kidding.

By the way, her recurring costs for all of this? After a 67-day free trial (Because I know a coupon code for EVERYTHING!), she will pay a whopping $5 per month for these services. PLUS, there were no start-up fees for any of it. So, for a cost of $60 per year, she has a fully operating business!

Needless to say, I have learned a thing or few about AMAZING values, running a profitable business, keeping expenses low, and serving people in the most efficient and wonderful way possible. Lucky for you, I am an open book with my business clients. There is no “secret vault” where I lock up information that could help you. I am HERE to help you! I WANT to help you, so you can enjoy the great pleasure of helping OTHERS too.

To be clear, what I did for Jessica (set up her shopping cart, simple website, survey, payment gateway, etc.) is something I can also do for YOU during our FREE Consultation. But you have to sign up by April 15 at latest for this special bonus.

Of course there are other options, such as pinpointing your niche, looking at ways to drastically improve your current business, or mapping out goals to pave your future business path… but this was just an example!

I’M SOLD! WHEN CAN I GO?

Our only planned certification vacation will be May 25 to 28. If you can’t make it to the May vacation, look out for next year’s offerings — the best way is to be on The List to hear first.] But I can tell you there is NO other planned certification vacation coming up anytime soon, and because of our upcoming uncookbook, I can’t be sure when we’ll do another one.

HERE’S HOW YOU BOOK

Pay for your spot (major credit cards + PayPal accepted), and you’re BOOKED. It’s that simple.

THE PRICE OF YOUR INVESTMENT
*Booking a spot for 2 people coming together assumes you will be in a shared a room,
and the 2 of you will share a queen or full-sized bed. (For separate beds, book as individuals.)

Marina (quoted below), too, joined me years ago to become certified as a raw food chef, as well as attending a number of other classes I taught locally in the Jacksonville, Florida area. She continues to keep me updated about her family, her business, and her health (which found incredible improvements with raw food and juicing!).

Note: If you are not interested in a certification vacation, we offer the option to jump-start your raw food journey or jump-start your raw food business from home.
