letter from publisher

I

t’s obvious that people are spending less time watching TV these days due to their preoccupation with their smartphones and other media devices. The sheer amount of information available to us at any given moment is overwhelming, to say the least. As we scour the internet for information—especially for information that is pertinent to our health and well-being—it’s important to find places we can trust to deliver this material. It’s been my pleasure Alaska -Alaska cruising with the boys and my duty to bring you educational news that will hopefully better your own life and the lives of others. I am the messenger, not the say all. I always ask that you open your minds and eyes to what is going on around you and revisit stigmas.

I’ve been referred to as the barter shaman. I hold that handle endearingly now. It is an art. I’ve learned how to utilize barter networks like Itex to help build my business and my quality of life and lives of others. I just retuned from a week-long Alaskan cruise trip with my successful entrepreneurial nephew and his two teenage sons. We had adjoining balcony units. We hiked the stairs every day in lieu of elevators—even after all-day hiking excursions. We had to keep up with the added food intake and, of course, stay energized to keep up.

I used my barter network to book this cruise. It created a family memory of a lifetime. It also unfolded a new motivation to dive deeper into digital marketing. My nephew Mike used to work alongside of me with all my past businesses before he was even a teenager. We always had this special bond. To date, we both can talk about business and the future of marketing until we are completely exhausted. Our energy flowed nicely while we watched whales, waves, glaciers. Our conversations would flow with the current and change course like the wind. Sometimes, we were in a pure state of mindfulness or family fun and then drift into marketing conversations that were as deep as the ocean.

Digital marketing is beyond deep. I have begun my surface dive. I’m in and this means you will be, too, if you follow my publication and me. What does this mean to my readers and advertisers? It means more marketing tools to attract the right modality and practitioner to enhance the quality of lives. I will be delivering these tools to my community partners.

What this means for me as a publisher is that I must grow my digital presence right along with the print side because I know there’s a big, bold world of digital media yet to be discovered. Plus, I’ve always felt that I have a pioneering spirit, always wondering what’s around the next bend.

I’m committed to this digital learning curve journey while I continue to list my publication for sale. as I plan to teach other publishers and business owners in my path. It’s important to know the difference between traditional marketing and digital marketing.

Digital marketing encompasses website development, social media marketing, content marketing, banner ads, Google ads, search engine optimization (SEO), and video marketing, allowing us to reach the masses efficiently and effectively.

I am shifting gears to get up to speed. Please join me on this next adventure!

Inspiring and Transformational Weekend Event with Jac O’Keeffe

A

transformative weekend with Jac O’Keefe is being held November 1-3 at the Holiday Inn in Carlsbad. During this event, she’ll offer clear teachings that move us toward freedom and cover a broad range of topics while capturing wonderful and illuminating moments, creating an opening to the nothingness and freedom that is beyond the sense of material existence.

O’Keeffe’s extensive background as an energy worker sets her apart in that she can scan the many layers and dimensions from relative to absolute reality. She has the unique ability to pinpoint where people are stuck due to identified thought, be it of a karmic, energetic or psychospiritual-emotional nature. Her inclusive approach does not dismiss subjective life experiences; everything has its place.

“You don’t have to be perfect, you don’t have to have good health, you don’t have to do it before your body dies; it’s got nothing to do with anything: its right now. Place your attention behind any stories, any concepts. From there, freedom arises, beauty arises, love arises,” says this inspiring speaker, who’s style is to respond to each person individually, as every path is different.

“There is a unique life to be lived while one’s true identity unfolds,” says O’Keeffe, who places things in context, pointing to the unlimited movement of consciousness and from there, prior to non-dual teachings, and the last step; prior to consciousness itself.

Location: Holiday Inn, 2725 Palomar Airport Rd.,Carlsbad, CA. For more information or to register, call 760-599-4075 or visit InnerDirections.org/upcomingevents.

Free Substance Abuse Educational Film

A

screening of the documentary film The First Day is being held Sunday, September 15 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Carlsbad City Library, in Carlsbad.

The First Day depicts an innovative approach to prevention and wellness education with a look into the struggles facing our youth today. Filmed at public and private high schools over the course of a year, the film chronicles former professional basketball player, author and wellness advocate, Chris Herren’s journey revealing his profound connections with high school students who, in turn, have shared their stories of struggle and strength. The First Day addresses issues that school systems and students across the country are impacted by each day, directly or indirectly, including substance use, other harmful behaviors and mental health problems.

“When it comes to speaking about addiction, the focus is oftentimes about the worst day. We need to focus on how this begins rather than on how it ends.

Prevention starts on the first day,” says Herren.

All are invited to watch this film and raise awareness of this critical issue and challenge in our community and address substance use with a focus on wellness.

This free community event is presented by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependency–San Diego. A panel discussion and a Q&A will be held at the end of the film.

Doors open at 1 p.m. Seating is limited and open to all. Location: 1775 Dove Lane, Carlsbad. For more information, visit TheFirstDayFilm.com.

Renowned Animal Communicator Relocates to San Diego

S

tacy Krafczyk, founder of All Spirit Healing, has recently relocated to Southern California from Wisconsin.

This internationally known professional animal communicator, intuitive reader, medium and Reiki Master Teacher, says, “My passion and love is working with people and animals to build the bridge of telepathic communication and deepen the bond between each species.”

In addition to in-home sessions for people and their beloved animal companions, Krafczyk offers phone appointments anywhere in the world. “Sometimes people are at a loss with their pets and wonder what their animal is actually thinking,” she says. “Some of their main concerns are about how their pet is feeling, whether it’s okay to add another fur friend to the family, how the pet’s health is, and end of life questions and concerns.”

With her amazing ability to communicate with pets, Krafczyk can offer guidance and support directly from the animals themselves. “People begin to feel validated knowing their own instinct is correct about their pet. They now understand their behavior,” she assures. “The animals will tell them exactly what they like and don’t like and whether it’s okay to add another animal to the household among the many other pieces of information their animal shares.”

Krafczyk, who has helped thousands of animals throughout her 15year career, affirms that animal communication can successfully restore balance and bring peace and harmony to the household. “In addition to residential homes, I love traveling to barns and animal sanctuaries for group readings and teaching workshops at animal facilities,” says this passionate healer, who often combines animal communication and reiki to create a deeper sense of safety and peace for the animal during each session. “I also offer classes and workshops in meditation, intuitive development, reiki and animal communication.”

The Amazon Rain Forest continues to lose habitat for animals and plants by clear cutting practices that add to the burden of climate change. According to satellite imaging data compiled in 2018 by Global Forest Watch and analysts at the University of Maryland, removing large patches of forest to make room for ranching caused the highest loss of forest cover overall, along with other commercial activities like mining and soy production. The World Resources Institute, which tracks global forest cover, reports deforestation is increasing in Brazil, Indonesia, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia. Large swaths of forest serve as carbon sinks, helping suck excess carbon emissions from the atmosphere. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has promised to open the Amazon for industry and recently slashed funding to environmental and science research groups.

Companies Urge Vietnam Recycling Plans

Vietnam is among the biggest contributors to plastic waste in the ocean, and Suntory Holdings, a giant Japanese beverage company, has joined its rivals Coca-Cola and Nestlé to encourage new recycling strategies to fend off such actions as the European Union’s move toward outlawing single-use plastic items. A report by Greenpeace last year found Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Nestlé to be the world’s biggest producers of plastic trash, although all three companies have made recycling pledges.

Suntory, a maker of whisky and soft drinks, says it plans to switch out pure, petroleum-based plastic bottles in all markets by 2030, using only recycled or plant-based materials, at a cost of approximately $467 million, but also says it sees no viable alternative yet to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.

Rain Forest Dwindling

According to a new report from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, elephants have such sensitive olfactory discrimination that they can determine different amounts of food just by sniffing it. Most animals use visual acuity to determine quantities of food, but this study shows that it’s important for psychologists to incorporate into experimental designs the ways in which different animals interact with their environment using all of their senses.

Bringing Mindfulness to Create a Healthier, More Balanced World

A

s a university instructor, researcher, author and mindfulness teacher, Anne Randerson, Ph.D., has always been fascinated by the human mind-body-spirit connection. Her passion to help individuals learn to grow and thrive prompted her to spend 25 years of her life on three different continents.

“Everyone wants to get the most out of life, but it’s not easy,” she affirms. “We know it’s important to achieve work-life balance, but that’s hard to do in our always plugged-in, modern society. It creates a lot of stress. But for what?”

After living in Belgium, France, Spain and Japan, Randerson relocated to Encinitas seven years ago. “It was interesting moving back to San Diego county, where I was raised, after living abroad for so long.” She has been an intercultural consultant since 2007, when she created Cross Cultural Horizons, her originally Brussels-based cultural lifestyle integration training company. In fact, she took her own Reverse Culture Shock seminar to help her deal with the stress of moving back home.

Randerson has been teaching Global Studies courses at California State University San Marcos since 2014, where she has also been teaching mindfulness as a volunteer for the past two

years. Trained by the UCSD Center for Mindfulness, she completed their MBSR Teacher Training and Practicum in 2017. She speaks six languages, which helps her connect with the diverse range of students on her campus.

Randerson’s research on mindfulness and holistic health dates to 1997 when she began working on her Ph.D. degree in Human Life Studies in Japan. Her six-year research was on East-West differences and human lifestyle and sensitivity toward nature from religious and philosophical perspectives. Through the years, in addition to teaching at universities, she has taught tai chi, qi gong and practiced yoga and meditation.

This highly motivated mindfulness teacher’s chief aim is to help others become more balanced through a greater awareness of mind-body-spirit integration. “I strive to help people learn to become more present in each moment, highlighting the choices offered to them in all situations. This can help them remain balanced and more resilient to life’s challenges,” says Randerson, who notes that there is a disconnect between what people think they must do to be happy, and what they are actually feeling. “So many people lose sight of their priorities, putting their self-care on the back burner. Mindfulness training can help them keep their thoughts in the ‘now.’ Living more mindfully helps people realize how harmful a 24/7 stressed-out lifestyle is for their longterm health and well-being, and how beautiful life can be when they are fully present to appreciate it.”

In addition to teaching mindfulness at her university, Randerson has been assisting Julie Chippendale with her Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course at Scripps Encinitas Hospital. “Julie is an amazing teacher and mentor. As an exceptionally experienced mindfulness teacher and nurse, she knows all about human physiology, the mind-body connection, and how the mind works. I’m very grateful to have Julie’s insightful, heartfelt guidance.”

Anne Randerson’s next eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course will be held on Wednesday nights at the Peace House in Encinitas, starting September 11, with a full Day of Mindfulness on October 20. Course fee: $475. For more information, contact 858-822-9799, Info@CrossCulturalHorizons. com or visit CrossCulturalHorizons.com.

Age-Defying Bodywork

How to Turn Back the Clock

by Marlaina Donato

I

t has been said that stress kills, and it often can be a slow and premature process, leading to common but avoidable symptoms of decline: impaired memory, loss of mobility, fatigue and decreased libido. Good nutrition, getting enough sleep and staying active contribute to vitality; however, fortifying the nervous system is critical to combating age-accelerating stress hormones like cortisol.

The key to keeping body and mind young may lie in the therapeutic modalities of bodywork, an umbrella term for up to 350 methods that include massage, energy work and meridian-based therapies like acupuncture, shiatsu and reflexology, which can improve quality of life and promote cellular integrity. Once considered a luxury confined to spas and private home sessions, bodywork is mov-

ing into the medical mainstream with reputable hospitals like the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, in New York City, which offers reiki sessions and instruction for patients and caregivers.

According to a survey by the American Hospital Association, reiki and its close cousin Therapeutic Touch comprise one of three top complementary therapies in American hospitals, along with massage therapy and music.

The Arthritis Foundation recommends massage for all types of arthritis and pain syndromes like fibromyalgia, as it can reduce discomfort and stress.

The Chemistry of Premature Aging

Busy lives without enough downtime can set up the body to be in a chronic state of

Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, changes how the body regulates inflammatory response.

“Stress and inflammation cause pain and disease,” says Certified Reflexologist and holistic practitioner Martha Garland, of CreativeSpirit Healing Arts, in Baltimore. “All of this that we carry in our bodies will make us feel much older than our years.”

Through application of pressure on specific reflex zones on the feet, hands and ears, reflexologists like Garland can help promote the natural flow of bodily functions. “Reflexology, a modality that is separate from massage therapy, reduces the tension, stress and pain that we hold in our feet and in the rest of our body, which can promote longevity and better quality of life,” she says.

Certified craniosacral therapist Margaret Connolly, of Narberth, Pennsylvania, agrees that mental or emotional strain plays a key role in the aging process. “During stress, the body is primed to resist or escape a threat, and in that situa-

“fight-or-flight”, which compromises cardiovascular health, nutrient absorption, waste elimination and immunity. Thanks to groundbreaking researchers like Nobel laureate Elizabeth Blackburn, it is now understood that prolonged daily stress weakens DNA structures by shortening chromosome-protecting telomeres, a major component in premature cell death and the trigger of genetic, predisposed markers for disease.

Studies by Dr. Owen Wolkowitz, of the University of California, San Francisco, demonstrate the link between shortened telomeres and insufficient response to free radicals, resulting in chronic inflammation, now believed to be the catalyst of most degenerative diseases. Psychological stress, according to research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by

tion, it’s not going to prioritize restorative activities,” she says. Craniosacral therapy (CST) focuses on the cerebrospinal fluid and the meninges surrounding the brain, spinal cord and related connective tissue, and helps the body drop out of excessive fight-or-flight mode.

Pain, Serotonin and Substance P

Bodywork and its ability to impact the chemistry of stress has far-reaching effects on most bodily systems. Studies in 2016 from the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine have shown that massage therapy helps to regulate hormones, boost immunity, improve attentiveness and ease the symptoms of depression.

Licensed Massage Therapist Michele Duncan King, of Sea Spell Massage, in Cannon Beach, Oregon, knows firsthand how her work can assist in counteracting the energy-sapping effects of stress.

“When the digestive system doesn’t go into the ‘rest-and-digest’ state via activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, it can affect muscles, joints, organs and hormones. This, along with elevated cortisol, can certainly make us function less optimally, making us feel older and less vibrant.”

Traditional massage modalities such as Swedish, deep tissue, Thai and Lomi Lomi help reduce blood pressure, boost immunity by augmenting natural killer cells, decrease symptoms of depression and support the cardiovascular system. It can also assist lymphatic movement, which can prevent cold hands and feet and achiness. Massage also raises serotonin and dopamine levels, neurotransmitters that play vital roles in memory, mood regulation and immunity.

Most significantly, higher serotonin levels are linked to lower levels of substance P, a neuropeptide that is central in pain perception. It soars during times of stress, anxiety and insufficient sleep, and has also been linked to tumor growth and inflammatory conditions.

Multidimensional Well-Being

Bodywork can assist the physical body, but it can also be a restorative balm for the emotions and psyche. “As human beings, touch is so important. Massage modalities invite safe, healing touch,” says Anita Bondi, licensed massage therapist and a founder of the Wellspring Holistic Center, in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. “A good therapist will also educate a client about other benefits of a more holistic lifestyle. I believe any time we give ourselves permission to listen to the body’s wisdom and follow its lead, we reduce stress and increase well-being.”

While women are more apt to include bodywork sessions in their health care, men can be hesitant. Connolly encourages both women and men to experience CST and other modalities. “Sometimes men are a bit nervous about being touched, whether the practitioner is male or female.

Even when open to hands-on therapy, some men believe extremely deep pressure is needed in order to be effective.” Not so, says Connolly, who cites the experience of Mark Bertolini, CEO of the Aetna health insurance company, who credits CST with saving his life when he was contemplating suicide and suffering severe neuropathic pain from a skiing accident.

Menopause and Cognitive Function

CST can also have an impact on women’s hormonal changes. “Very slight movement of tissues near the pituitary gland

can exert a subtle pumping motion on the master gland in a way that will facilitate its ability to produce and release hormones,” explains Connolly.

The therapy is sometimes used in conjunction with acupuncture, which also impacts hormones and works on the brain. A 2018 study by Chinese researchers published in the journal EvidenceBased Complementary and Alternative Medicine shows neuronal improvement through acupuncture in both cognitively impaired patients and healthy individuals.

Tools for Life

Most practitioners believe that deriving benefits from bodywork requires consistency, which can support longevity in unexpected ways. Garland says, “What really makes a difference in reducing chronic stress is consistent stress reduction. One session occasionally will feel good and reduce tension temporarily, but will not make a major difference in reducing stress in the long term.” King agrees: “A massage once a month is my recommendation for ideal overall maintenance, and more frequent sessions for specific conditions or goals.”

Research and results confirm that well-being is not a luxury, but a necessity, and puts to rest the idea that bodywork is a guilty pleasure. “The more we do to help ourselves, the better our lives will be as we age,” says Bondi.

The Power of Yoga

Tapping Into the Life Force

by Marlaina Donato

ongevity is something most of us strive for, and increasingly, research shows that implementing a consistent yoga practice can be a fruitful investment toward that goal. Yoga is an eight-branch system of well-being that encompasses exercise, meditation, conscious breathing, diet and other elements, but how it effects mind-body fitness alone is proving to be a reliable defense against age-related loss of mobility, cardiovascular disease and depression.

Its stress-busting capabilities help to support challenged adrenal glands and

lower elevated blood pressure. Getting on the mat can improve insulin sensitivity in diabetics and also help balance immune responses in individuals with autoimmune conditions or insufficient natural killer cells.

Combined research from 22 studies by the University of Edinburgh reveals that yoga, compared to both sedentary lifestyles and other forms of exercise such as walking or chair aerobics, improved the lower-body strength and flexibility in individuals age 60 and older. The findings published earlier this year in the International Journal of Be-

Yoga’s inverted poses increase blood circulation to vital organs, including the intestines, which facilitates assimilation of nutrients and waste elimination. Asanas like shoulder stand, bridge and downwardfacing dog stimulate blood flow from the lower extremities to the heart and fortify red blood cells by increasing hemoglobin, guarding against blood clots, stroke and heart attack. Yoga can also strengthen the bones. A 2016 study published in the International Journal of Yoga shows improved bone mineral density in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

“Much like a house that sits empty or a car left to sit unused in a garage, our human parts can age and rot without movement.

Movement creates more energy,” explains Nancy Poole, a teacher at Clarksburg Yoga and Wellness, in Clarksburg, Maryland.

Joints lose flexibility as we age, but yoga movement provides them with essential oxygen, blood and nutrients. Lisa Moore, owner of Free to Be Yoga, in Great Falls, Montana, underscores, “A joint needs to move through its full range of motion to function well. Movement helps lubricate and cushion joints, provides nutrition and removes wastes.”

Stretching Into Joy

A 2014 hatha yoga study published in the Journals of Gerontology revealed increased cognitive function in older adults after eight weeks of yoga three times a week.

Yoga’s super power lies in its capacity to reset the autonomic nervous system and ramp up mood-boosting serotonin while decreasing monoamine oxidase, an enzyme that disarms the effects of stress hormones like cortisol. Under the influence of yoga, the brain is bathed in calming neurotransmitters, combatting depression and anxiety, and instilling a sense of optimism.

“Yoga also helps us to embrace the hard times and ride the waves. With the tools that yoga provides, we can swim

Fewer Health Risks, Stronger Bones

toward the light. It also helps us to experience a more intimate relationship with body and soul, and in turn make better choices in all aspects of life,” notes Carmen Ferreira, owner of the Sunshine Barre Studio, in Rocky Point, New York.

Moore concurs, advising, “Yoga gives us powerful tools so we may age gracefully. One of them is to manage stress with equanimity.”

The Breath of Life

Conscious breathing is at the core of a dedicated yoga practice, and a lowered risk of cardiovascular and respiratory disease gives us another reason to inhale and exhale deeply. Poole observes, “Our general population does not breathe correctly, and many of us even hold our breath unconsciously. For my students, the hardest part of yoga is learning to take deep, full breaths. Old breathing habits must be unlearned. Once attention is given to the breath, tensions can be released.”

“Yoga improves lung capacity and brings more energy to the cells, which in turn creates more energy and life force in our bodies,” says Ferreira. “It helps us to live from the heart’s center and foster a better quality of life,” she adds. “Each time we show up on our mats, we show up for ourselves, an opportunity to nourish the body, our one and only temple.”

We reprogram the immune system so that it no longer sees that particular allergen as an invader. ~Barbara Meconis

PET PEEVE Natural Remedies for

Allergies to Furry Friends

J

by Julie Peterson

essica Martinez, a medical assistant and part-time dog groomer in Rockford, Illinois, was growing her family—a husband, two daughters and a young beloved husky. When their third daughter was born with health problems and an allergy to dogs, Martinez was determined to manage the situation.

She cleaned fervently—vacuuming, wiping down hard surfaces, and bathing and brushing the dog every day. Everyone had to wash their hands frequently. In addition, the room where other dogs were groomed had to be thoroughly cleaned after each session. It all eventually became too exhausting, and the husky was rehomed.

But there may have been other options available to the family, say practitioners that treat patients with pet allergies. “I personally would rather not recommend that a patient not be around animals, because there are so many health benefits that animals can bring,” says Rosia Parrish, a naturopathic doctor at Boulder Natural Health, in Colorado, and

a spokesperson for the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians.

Allergen Alert

Some families opt for one of the socalled hypoallergenic breeds of dogs or cats. However, experts at the American Lung Association and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology advise that all warm-blooded animals shed dander: flecks of skin containing proteins that can cause allergies.

Additional allergens exist in proteins from saliva, urine and feces. Because proteins, not fur, are to blame, even short-haired or hairless dogs and cats can elicit an allergic response. They’re present in the dander of all mammals, including horses, rabbits, cows and mice.

“Allergies are caused when the immune system cannot discern the difference between a safe protein, such as egg, and a dangerous protein, such as mold, and it starts attacking the wrong ones,” says Barbara Meconis, a registered nurse

natural pet

and owner of Holistic Care Approach, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

In the home, these proteins can easily become airborne and cling to surfaces and clothing. They can be carried by people to pet-free schools and hospitals, making the proteins difficult to avoid, so for those that deal with symptoms that range from watering eyes to difficulty breathing, allergies can flare up in unlikely places.

dripad, a California chiropractor and acupuncturist, today there are more than 12,000 NAET practitioners and they can be found at naet.com/practitioner-locator.

Parrish recommends natural treatments for affected people such as steam showers and baths with thyme, eucalyptus and menthol to help clear passageways, along with anti-inflammatory supplements like boswellia, quercetin, nettle leaf, fish oil and magnesium.

“Unless an allergy is severe, I think that living around cats, dogs and other furry animals is a really good thing and brings so much love and sloppy kisses into our lives,” she says. However, for a serious allergic reaction such as asthma, a pet lizard may be in order.

Julie Peterson has contributed to Natural Awakenings for more than a decade. Contact her at JuliePeterson2222@gmail.com.

Traditional Medical Response

“Allergies are one the most complex, unresearched topics,” says Meconis. Because of the general lack of knowledge in the field of immunology, people with allergies may have difficulty finding relief, especially when multiple or severe allergies are present. Pet owners aren’t given many choices.

“In the last five years, there is a working theory regarding being desensitized with incremental exposures, but there is no proof,” says Meconis. “Elimination has always been the answer from mainstream allopathic medicine, so if you are allergic to pets, they say, ‘don’t have a pet.’”

Parrish suggests that making lifestyle changes may enable some people to keep a furry friend in their lives. Effectively preventing allergic reactions requires limiting exposure to the offending animal proteins. This can mean vacuuming often, using HEPA-grade air filters, removing carpeting, leaving coats and shoes at the door and washing sheets, mattress covers—and the pet—on a regular basis.

Alternative Treatments

At Holistic Care Approach, Meconis is trained in Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Therapy (NAET), a combination of allopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic, kinesiology and nutrition. Treatments are typically effective in as little as one session per allergy.

“We reprogram the immune system so that it no longer ‘sees’ that particular allergen as an invader,” Meconis says. “By removing disharmony at the intercellular level, the body stops being so reactive.”

ast month we featured a community spotlight on local eco-conscious company reVessel who recently introduced their innovative new product, the Adventure Kit, a multi-tasking lunchbox engineered for today’s conscious consumer. The kit includes two 1-cup and two 2-cup containers which insert into an 8-cup main vessel, each with accompanying food-grade silicone storage lids, and one three-piece adventure lid conversion kit.

Luckily, I get to try out many of the products and services featured within these pages and use this space to share my feedback—or in this case, “foodback”.

I happened to be leaving town for a week when I acquired a reVessel adventure pack prototype, so I passed it on to my daughter Kathryn to try out first. She was the perfect focus group model as she eats very healthy and packs her own lunch for work.

She loved the ease of using The Adventure Kit and was very appreciative that the materials were eco-friendly, and the containers have easy removable parts to accommodate personal storage needs for the occasion. In fact, she was upset that she had to return it to me when I got back from my trip. She said she looks forward to using the kit again. She said she loved everything about it. The only thing she thought could be improved upon in future models would be to include an added handle for carrying purposes.

I’m just beginning to play with it and my feelings are the same. I love The Adventure Kit and will definitely be using it in my camping van. It’s a product that will make it easier for me to plan to eat healthy on-the-go. I look forward to receiving our new kits and eating healthy as I travel with my food instead of traveling for food.

One of the things I love about reVessel co-owners Jessica and Eddie Bell is their desire to educate others on healthy cooking. In fact, on September 22 reVessel will host its first adult cooking class in collaboration with Berry Good Academy at Specialty Produce’s Studio Kitchen. They will be giving way five free pairs of tickets to this event on their social media account @reVesselUSA. According to the Bells, this event kicks off a series of culinary workshops intended to inspire and build confidence in the kitchen.

In addition, reVessel will soon be announcing workshops designed for children to learn how they can be part of a sustainable food system while developing essential culinary skills and healthy habits.
