It centers around foods and methods that are accessible, affordable, and aligned with nature. This session shows us that both animal consumption and highly processed store bought “foods” are unnecessary on a variety of levels. We are all individuals on our life journey, and the increase of pharmaceutical propaganda, social media "influencers" and colonialism, has made it harder for us to find our own rhythm and flow with nature, to make and maintain conscious decisions on proper ways to nourish ourselve.About the FacilitatorRA, also known as RADIUS, is the creator of RA’s Natural Abundance, a lifestyle practice rooted in alignment with the body, nature, and ancestral rhythms.
