At Raw Peoria, EVERYONE is an organizer. Whether you are just exploring a raw or veg@n path, trying to figure out "What the *&#^ do those people EAT anyway???", or are a long-time raw veg@n veteran, join us for quarterly potlucks and more! This group is designed to share best practices, simplify the Raw genre down to its pretty darned easy nut and bolts, and to give fancy cooks (are you still a cook if you're not heating anything up?) a few extra mouths to feed if they want. Because no one seems to come to a Raw/Vegan without some other healing or social consciousness things rattling around in their heads, we encourage members to post anything that could be helpful to others (but no preaching :D). This is a site for those who are active in their health journeys, even if that means they occasionally wander the desert for a few months at a time scratching their heads.
DUES:
While we understand a few non-locals from the Raw community may want to simply observe, this group is designed to be a resource and community builder! Meetup is not free to run; therefore a $5.00 dues will cover you for the year. The good news is there are already enough raw recipes and informational postings on this site from the original organizer (also a wellness consultant) that you have a good $50.00 worth of information at your fingertips as soon as you join.
MEDICAL DISCLAIMER:
Since we do not require medical accreditation to be in this group (what would be the fun in that?), it is important to note somewhere in this meetup website (here, for instance) that any ideas expressed are the opinions of the member sharing them and are not designed to “diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease”, and that claims and personal experiences “have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration”.
Be smart! Be proactive. Enjoy learning about your own body and chemistry and join us in learning what YOU need, not just what the average person (who may or may not actually exist) needs.
