The Academy of Healing Diets opens it’s doors, summer 2012, in Torquay, Devon. Bonny Casel has been developing the healing diets part of her teaching for many years and the number of students interested in this teaching has continually grown. Now, Bonny Casel has created a school that focuses entirely on food as medicine, and training students in a variety of natural vegetarian, vegan and living foods approaches to diet and food preparation. Her courses range from fasting and superfoods, through to vegetarian cooking and vegan baking, offering a valuable foundation for students who wish to explore food for their own personal healing and for practitioners who wish to create effective and safe dietary programmes for their clients.

It can be challenging to find healthy alternatives for children in a ‘plastic dominated’ children’s world, so when I came across these non-toxic lunch boxes I was thrilled. These stainless steel lunch boxes will keep the lovingly made, organic meals that you prepare for your children’s lunches, plastic free, and the design is wonderful. Many times I have watched children in India, smartly dressed in their school uniforms, walking to school with their stacked stainless steel lunch boxes filled with Dahl and rice and chapatis. Here is the merging of those two worlds.

Lunch Boxes by Plantbox

If you are looking for something for your own lunches, particularly larger salads, try To-Go Ware. Also made of stainless steel, this company imports my favourite stacked stainless lunch boxes from India. They are wonderful!

To-Go Ware

The best way to transport healthy meals and extremely popular with raw, living food and vegan families. To-Go Ware also sells a ceramic version of the quintessential New York Deli To-Go cup. 180,000,000 used and thrown away in New York every year, this re-usable cup is a classic.

An eco-choice with a sense of humour

EnJoy!

This July we completed the third part of the Healing Diets course (The series of 3 Classes starts again this Autumn - follow this link to find out more). For two of the students attending the class, this was their final class before undertaking their clinical training. Soon both Leandra Costa and Michelle Redgrave will graduate as Naturopaths.

Part 3 of the Healing Diets course focuses on the effect that food has on our consciousness and thus how our dietary choices affect the environment we live in, our relationships and ultimately our relationship with the planet as a whole. I had some lovely feedback from all of my students. Here are some comments from Leandra, our student from Brazil. Leandra is currently a highly skilled massage therapist in London and it is her plan to return to Brazil upon graduation and open a Naturopathic clinic there that includes full cleansing and rejuvenation programmes.

“The Healing Diets workshops have been an amazing teaching on all levels for me. It opened my eyes about food both in terms of my own experience and also its effect on the world.

This course made me think and reflect on my relationship with food, giving directions and teaching for cleansing, regeneration and rejuvenation from diet, fasts, cleanses, alkaline diets, raw food diets and more. I also broadened my learnings into diverse cultural diets and studies, learning about Ayurvedic diet and doshas, macrobiotic diets, and vegetarianism, to name just a few.

Part three of the Healing Diets has been a big reminder of how all of us are responsible for a healthy, clean and fair environment where we can grow organic, healthy foods for generations to come.

I can only thank Bonny for sharing all her vast knowledge, caring and love, It makes one inspired to become healthy and to spread all the good positive information to the world” - Leandra
