RETREAT SNAPSHOTS
The July WV retreat was WONDERFUL!  It was more than what I could have ever expected and fantastically exceeded
my expectations, and I already know that I'll be attending next years retreat also!  You, Dr. Africa and all the other
Master health Gurus in attendance made this occasion a true blessing onto all those attending.  The food was nurturing,
healing, & delicious.  The retreat was beautiful...the land, buildings, and overall scenery was very healing in and of
itself.  Our classes and activities where well put together and created a wonderful holistic experience.  My favorite
experience this past weekend was definitely the sweat.  I have never sweated before and stayed all 4 rounds, and even
made contact through 'totems' with my ancestors.  It was beyond words how I felt in the 'womb' of earth amongst other
healers and conscious brothers & sisters, healing, chanting, singing, crying, ASCENDING all together! What an
experience!!! Thank you AKUA for providing us with such wonderful classes and information, and I continue to look
forward to what's next to come!

Thank you so much for these memories. It makes my
heart warm. When I try to express our experience to
those who ask, it becomes difficult. I can only shrug my
shoulders and smile with a reply of you had to be there.
Love you all.

Greetings Akua:

To meet you at last was indeed a pleasure however, I am writing to let you know how much I enjoyed the retreat; the
classes were excellent without a doubt.  Your class in particular was perfect and your presentation was so smooth, so
informative; so calm and to the point; one could not help but learn.  I am so very proud of you my sister.  I have taught
many classes including many of your points on business however,  I learned a lot from you.

The brothers and sisters were all so beautiful, so warm and kind.  My praises to the Chef and her wonderful
personality; the food was beyond excellent, a well designed menu.  I am used to more seasoning but still I loved the food
choices and the food itself; I learned a lot and have repeated the menu at home.  As usual Dr. Afrika was beyond words;
I think he knows I value him highly; he carries a wealth of information wherever he goes.  I was never so proud as to be
in the presence of my young brothers and sisters of such great accomplishment such as Dr. Menzise, Assata with her
beautiful aura and I enjoyed her Reiki class; meeting Paul was just the best as he is truly a jewel; everyone was just
great and the experience is one of a life time and shall not be forgotten.

I loved being in the mountains; ... I enjoyed the beauty of West Virginia and the magnificent property with its unique
and generous houses, invaluable land, fantastic art carvings, paintings and statues.  It was a first to see the 400 year old
tree; if only it could talk.

I look forward to being in your classes again and again. My family speaks of you with high regards.Once again, thank
you and your staff for a great retreat.

Love, peace and God’s blessings

Our Advanced retreat was absolutely life changing!  It has been such a pleasure learning from Dr. Afrika, you, as well as all of my
fellow Nubian classmates.  If I were to describe the beauty and magnitude of that weekend, you'd be reading for days.  I do know
that I felt at home during each part of our training.  Thank you for bringing such great information, & fantastic healers, to the
retreat.  I feel that I am armed with an incredible amount of knowledge that I WILL use to uplift my (our) community.  I give
thanks to you again for your awesome course on Holistic Business!  WOW...Khamatic Yoga, Reiki, Sweat Lodge, Aromatherapy
course, the Vegan meals..I'm not sure what I'll miss the most!!!!  I do know that our lesson on raw food preparation has changed
my life forever...(I'm a 100% raw foodist)  The advanced retreat is a must for all who complete the Holistic Healthcare classes...

Hotep!

Holistic Vegan Chef Retreat 2009
The New Chef's Were Really Putting A Little of Everything In It!
And Creating Live Veggie Delight Masterpieces!

Congratulations to the ALOP Live Foods Academy 2009 Holistic Vegan Chefs
Representing Arkansas, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, DC, Arizona, Texas and Bahamas
"The 2009 Veg Chef Retreat
was a wonderful
experience. I've been  
working on a raw food
recipe book and just finished
an herb certification class.
Akua you make me feel like I
can do anything because
you're so talented."
The vegan chef retreat that I attended last year changed my life. I learned  that
eating raw meant more than  just throwing a combination of vegetables into a
bowl and adding dressing from a bottle. It meant preparing fresh eye pleasing,
mouth watering, delicious tasting,  body and cellular rejuvenating recipes that
gave me a new respect, curiosity, love and  possibility  for every veggie and
fruit that  I see in the market. I (and my taste buds) thank you and your staff for
my new raw life lessons) I am sharing my recipes and knowledge with others
and they are amazed at how delicious raw can be. Now I am happily,  "eating
live to live"

The Vegan Chef Retreat was a wonderful experience for me. I
was able to make some great new friends and learn some great
information passed on from our instructors that has helped me to
jump start my business and improve on my vegan chef skills.
During the retreat, we were provided with a great amount of
information, recipes, and new techniques to be used whether for
personal or business use. They also gave very helpful
information to use in the kitchen and provided a great deal of
information in regards to starting a business as well as
approaching food from the perspective of health and well-being
as the goal, which was much appreciated. The relaxation
activities were also well worth it!

I am currently using what I learned to run a raw food business
that I started shortly after the retreat. I currently provide healthy
diet and lifestyle facilitation sessions (coaching) and
teleclasses, personal chef services, custom meal plans,and I
conduct raw food classes. I am also presently writing a raw food
"cookbook". My website is
www.dynamicrawfoodcreations.com
