David Wolfe Permaculture Day

by Leisa on February 16, 2011

After a great Sunday afternoon event at Byron Bay (besides the heat!), the next event was a day at Tania Leilani’s permaculture farm in the Mullumbimby Hinterland.

David Wolfe in Brisbane

by Leisa on February 13, 2011

The tour couldn’t have started off any better, with a sell-out crowd in Brisbane for the first leg of the Australian Tour!

Why The Angst?

by Leisa on January 11, 2011

It’s quite interesting that recently I’ve received some pretty strong anti-David-Wolfe messages via email and it always surprises me, the amount of vitriol that his message produces in the raw food and vegan communities. I’ve written on this topic before – Raw Vegan Obsessions – because it is a subject that I am very passionate about. If someone
