People who meet here are dedicated to living a quality life - with what they deem important for health and happiness.

You'll see that we're passionate about ways to enrich our lives, share our wisdom and cultivate a community of like-minded folks.


Most of us follow a neo-paleo lifestyle... we are those who:

... want nutrient-dense foods.

... know that food is therapeutic.

... consciously choses what they eat.

We also are wanting to eat foods that are:

.... unprocessed, unrefined.

.... low carb, low glycemic = slow carb.

.... clean: free of anti-biotics, no added hormones.

.... local, sustainable, organic, biodynamic.

.... for most of us: pre-cultivation (ex: no grains) and pre-domestication (ex: no dairy).

The info above are the gold-standards for a paleolithic diet.

My goal is to focus on:

• whole food eating and cooking
• nutrition
• well being
• inner and outer exercise
• community
• sustainability
• consciousness and awareness

We'll have ....

• themed potlucks ( please read our FOOD GUIDELINES under the PAGES menu )
• outings
• field trips
• classes
• lectures
• evenings with authors
• dinners with featured guests
• movies
• concerts
• and more

We'll post our own events, and others, for-profit events, nonprofits. Here are examples of what I want to support and promote:

• Creating events of our own is best, please contact me, let's create our own trends.
• Events originating from other Meet Up groups is ok.
• Events sponsored by Community groups/orgs/colleagues.
• Our own classes, lectures, workshops, catering gigs.

Would you like to be a featured guest, host an event ... or .... ?

....if so, please contact me.

Most of the MeetUps will be in or near Cupertino/the South Bay and in the Walnut Creek area (where I used to live).
