Daily Hands-On Cooking with Cornellia Aihara

The only way to really learn macrobiotic cooking is to DO it. At Vega you won't be sitting and watching a teacher demonstrate, you will be actively participating in the preparation of meals. Cornellia is the leading master of strong healing quality macrobiotic cooking. Nowhere else in the world can you practice side by side with this unforgettable teacher. Learn with Cornellia how to prepare whole grains, vegetables, miso soup, sea vegetables and other fundamentals of daily macrobiotic cooking. Each day you will learn a complete menu and its preparation from start to finish. All cooking classes provide printed recipes. Included are special dishes and techniques that are taught only by Cornellia at Vega.

Special "Acid -Alkaline Healing Power" Presentations by David Briscoe

You will benefit from the practical and powerful acid-alkaline information that will allow you to simplify your understanding of macrobiotic nutrition and dietary principles. David's teaching on the subject is famous for its clarity and accesibility. Learn how to keep your internal state alkaline and diminish the negative affects of excess acidity that arises due to dietary choices, stress, and weak internal organ function. Conditions such as Osteoporosis, cancer, depression, diabetes, heart disease, chronic fatique, all have their roots in an acid blood condition. Even people on a "healthy" diet can be making themselves acid without realizing it. By learning the simple acid-alkaline approach, anyone can add the missing piece to their understanding of health and well being.

Home Remedies Instruction including Hands-On Ginger Compress Practice

Macrobiotic home remedies provide practical and effective means for using items from one's own kitchen to relieve aches, pains, tension, stiffness and other common symptoms or injuries associated with over-working, overeating, and living in a hurry-up culture that rarely offers a moment to stop and relax. In this session you will see macrobiotic home remedies prepared and demonstrated by an expert, and you will get to do a hands-on ginger compress to experience its ability to relax and rejuvenate.
