“I’m really looking forward to sharing Thai massage at the conference again this year.  You’ll me amazed by how even fifteen minutes of this bodywork can positively effect your whole being.  See you soon!  -Carrie    www.carriesteele.com“

In Thailand, this massage technique is seen as a form of preventative medicine. Thai Yoga Massage is relaxing and stimulating for the mind as well as the body and recipients are often able to think more clearly afterwards and feel a profound sense of well being. Thai Yoga Massage can help you:

• boost your energy level and immunity
• relieve tension
• increase flexibility
• relieve soreness and tightness
• feel calm, release tension

“As a team, we will be sharing our culinary art and creativity from the minds of these people:

  • Owen Hoppe (A New Ethic),
  • Brian Casey (Shelburne Farms and Starry Night)
  • Joshua Alexander Pfeil (A Drop of Joy)

The Food we will be serving will taste amazing without putting the practitioner to work and these recipes are free of any ingredients that might hinder the balance between mind and body or the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

  • Lunch is: Almond butter cream spring rolls with everything in season made using some of the finest nori and organic germinated almonds.  As a side we will celebrate with a bok choy salad lightly drizzled in sesame oil and lemon cashew cream complimented with the three sisters of asian fermentation: Kimchee, crunchy chili radish root and gingered carrots.  The yogi will get all this and a Unpasteurized Azuki miso with Maine harvested Wakame.
  • Dinner is: Cashew Thyme Root veggie gratin parked on top of some organic brown rice next to a Portabella mushroom that is filled with a soaked walnut veggie paté.  This dynamic duo will be complimented by our own local Mesclun mix drizzled with an elderberry vinaigrette.

All of this food will be organic and everything that is in season will be locally sourced.”
