Following my brief radio silence earlier this week, I am delighted to announce that I will attending Donna Karan’s Urban Zen Foundation’s Well Being Forum: Focus on Nutrition and covering the Speaker Series here on Saladdays.
What is the Urban Zen Foundation? It is a non-profit that ‘creates, connects, and collaborates to raise awareness and inspire change in the areas of well being, preserving cultures and empowering children.’ The 2009 Well-Being Forum addresses the first of these three objectives and is also the Foundation’s third iteration of this annual event.
Speakers I Particularly Can’t Wait to Hear:
- Dr. Neal Barnard of the Physicians’ Committee for Responsible Medicine
Responsbie for the most convincing online video nutritional argument to go vegan (40 minutes)
- Kris Carr, documentarian and self-proclaimed full-time healing junkie
- Dr. T. Colin Campbell of the eponymous China Study
- Dr. Alejandro Junger, previously featured on WLIR (a must listen!) and GOOP
- Fred Bisci, David Jubb (formerly of East Village’s Jubb’s Longevity), & Jill Pettijohn (formerly of Brooklyn’s Jill’s Cafe) - Raw Food Nutritionists and Detox Experts
And many others.
I will be joined by the glowing Mia.
Special thanks to Dhrumil for extending the warm invitation to participate. His kindness is just beyond.
