Happy Oasis, founder of the Raw Spirit Festival, will be visiting us for our annual "Friends for February" Pot Luck! You are invited! Bring an appetite for great fun and the best food ever! Feel free to bring a raw vegan dish whether it's simple or fancy. And bring as many friends as you can whether they're raw vegan or not. Oh, did I mention? The person who brings the most guests gets a rawsome prize!!!

Happy Oasis will be giving an awesome interactive presentation. She is the best story teller ever! There will be a discussion of raw history, zany happenings, and the most up to date news for the most incredible events including: The Raw Spirit Festival!

Happy Heavenly Oasis is the founder and CVO (Chief Visionary Officer) of Raw Spirit Festival Inc, a 501c3 non-profit educational corporation, dedicated to spreading the bliss about living in healthy harmony.

Ms. Oasis has spent years in volunteer service with such organizations as Habitat for Humanity and Mother Theresa's, though mostly volunteering at temples, ashrams, monasteries, food banks, refugee camps, farms, orphanages and others' homes. Raw vegan health consultant at spas and insight meditation guide at temples in both the Orient and Occident, Happy has also taught intuitive wild edible plants classes called "Lets Get Wild!" in more than a dozen ecosystems around the planet.

Happy is the author of the Earth's only wild, raw vegan, international travelers' adventure poetry book, Uncivilized Ecstasies, a New Zealand best-seller, and Bliss Conscious Communication, a uniquely interactive book which heightens conversational kundalini. Ms. Oasis has been a lifelong, gentle-but-persistent, environmental, peace, and cross-cultural, social activist. Representing trees and ocean life, Happy has won several environmental cases, the most recent located beside her Arizona home when Happy called in and joined forces with the Army Corps of Engineers to stop developers from illegally building condominiums on a lake which the developers destroyed. Upon Happy's counsel, the Army Corps oversaw the developers replanting of hundreds of trees. Furthermore, with Happy's prompting, the developer donated the unusually scenic land to be a permanent park now managed by the City of Prescott. Happy is an inspirational orator at symposiums, festivals, temples, retreats, churches, tv shows, radio shows, environmentally-educative cruise ships, colleges, universities and schools around the world. Though busy speaking most weekends, these days Happy loves to offer others the Raw Spirit Festival stage in enthusiastic support of the many astute speakers, authors, chefs and entertainers who encourage us to achieve astounding heights of health to benefit both humanity and the Earth.

Founder of the erstwhile Inspiring Times events paper, Happy's articles, stories, poetry and philosophy have featured in numerous books, magazines and newspapers. Marci Shimoff, star of "The Secret" movie, considers Happy Oasis to be "one of America's 100 happiest people". So, the uplifting story of Happy's name is featured as the final story in Marci Shimoff's 2008 book Be Happy For No Reason, an Amazon and New York Times Best Seller.

    •  OUTSTANDING! Happy Oasis is a great speaker. Her topic tonight was on harvesting wild edible plants. PLEASE NOTE: I will be returning several excellent books on WILD EDIBLES to San Bernardino/Riverside COUNTY LIBRARY system NEXT WEEK and I encourage you to check them out! I've chosen which ones to order from Amazon because we plan on harvesting our greens for green smoothies from our forest meadow all summer! 
    •  It was electrifying to be a part of this! I only had a few hours sleep this weekend, but this group just keeps me going and motivated. Happy's talks are always special, and more than ever, this one in particular solidified the idea that all things are possible! 
    •  I enjoy my first raw food meet-up and Happy was fun to listen to. She is a great speaker, people-lover and has lots of good ideas from her extensive travel and cross-cultural experience. I find her to be transparent and funny. Her talk on foraging the local wild plants was very informative and interesting.
