I trust you’ve all been enjoying a lovely summer! I love September – I really do! It brings with it this “back to school” feeling and this year I will be participating in an ayurvedic course in Toronto every thursday evening until December with Matthew Remski, Ayurvedic practioner. I’m so excited to be able to share this with you all – and to see how it weaves into everyday life

My summer has consisted (briefly) of returning home from a Chopra meditation retreat in Whistler, BC mid July – feeling very blessed and grateful for the opportunity to be there. The blessings continued when my family from out west and out of town came and spent several weeks back home with us all. Everyone has recently returned to their homes’, safe and sound – and I look forward to hugging and kissing every single one of those little faces soon!

The exciting times continue here in Hamilton – Saturday Sept 10^th – is PACKED with so many activities to go out and participate in, enjoy, walk, stroll, listen, play and support!

Where can you find B Love around town this September?

Saturday Sept 10^th , 10am – into the evening:

B Love will be at the Locke Street Festival. We will have a variety of treats, sprout growers and snacks prepared for purchase and are located just past the school at 280 Locke St. (near Herkimer). We’ll be right beside the Green Party booth

Join Barbara as she explains the basic, introductory principles of vegan raw foodism. What is raw food? Why is it today’s Hot Topic in the recipe for healthy living? What makes it nourishing?

We’ve also invested in a Kangen Water System. The delicious water is created from Enagic’s innovative water technology. Not only do these devices filter your tap water, but they also produce ionized alkaline and acidic waters through electrolysis. Many people have been committed to drinking out water regularly (including us) and are experiencing many positive benefits – this has been most exciting!! Considering that our bodies are 75% water, an acidic state is a prefect breeding ground for dis-ease. Kangen’s alkaline water is an exciting tool to use in your journey towards health!!
