About us
🌿 Welcome to Raw Vegans of Southeast Florida 🌿
This community exists to connect people throughout Southeast Florida who are interested in raw vegan living, fresh fruits and vegetables, natural wellness, and meaningful community.
Whether you are fully raw, high raw, fruit-focused, plant-based, transitioning, or simply curious, you are welcome here.
### 💚 OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE
🥭 Connect like-minded people
🌱 Learn and grow together
🤝 Create genuine friendships and community
🌴 Encourage local gatherings throughout Southeast Florida
We are part of the growing RawVeganFriends (.com coming soon) community, with local groups forming in different areas of Florida.
Our Tampa Bay community has already shown us how powerful it can be when people move beyond simply following a page and begin meeting, sharing food, learning from one another, and building real friendships.
www.RawVegansOfTampaBay.com
and our delevolping app to replace our Meetup group - at https://rawveganstampa.com/share/membership/MTgzMzctNzQy
Now we would love to see that same kind of connection grow here in Southeast Florida — including Jensen Beach, West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and surrounding communities.
### 🌿 WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP CREATE LOCAL GATHERINGS?
Local events can be as simple or creative as the people hosting them.
Ideas might include:
• Raw vegan potlucks
• Fruitluck gatherings
• Restaurant meetups
• Beach picnics
• Nature walks
• Fruit feasts
• Farm or market outings
• Wellness discussions
• Educational presentations
• Community service projects
You do not have to build a whole organization or become “the leader.” Sometimes community begins with one person simply saying:
“Who wants to meet for fruit at the beach?” 🍉🌴
If you would enjoy hosting, helping coordinate, or simply attending gatherings in your area, we would love to hear from you.
### 🤝 STAY CONNECTED BETWEEN GATHERINGS
Through **RawVeganFriends.com**, our broader community can connect beyond individual events through:
🥭 Recipes and fresh food inspiration
💬 Community conversations
📅 Event announcements
🌿 Wellness resources and education
🤝 Sharing ideas and experiences
💚 Friendships with others exploring a raw and plant-based lifestyle
Our vision is not just to build another online group.
It is to help create real-life communities of people who can learn, share, laugh, eat, explore, and grow together.
Here’s to more fresh food, more friendship, more connection, and more joy. 🌿🥭

New to Raw Vegan Living?
Raw vegan foods are plant foods enjoyed in their fresh, uncooked form — including fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, sprouts, nuts, seeds, and many creative dishes made from them. Some people eat completely raw, while others simply enjoy incorporating more fresh living foods into their lifestyle.
You don’t have to fit a label to belong here. Curiosity is enough. 💚

Hi Beautiful Soul 💚
This month, we’re taking a closer look at something most of us see every single day… but rarely really notice:
👉 Our Eyes
Not just the color…
but the patterns, markings, and changes that may invite us to become more observant and curious about our wellness journey.### 👁️ THIS MONTH’S FOCUS: WHAT CAN YOUR EYES TELL YOU?
Lynn Ellis of https://fruitfulpurpose.org/
will introduce us to the fascinating world of iridology and share:
✨ Why people study the iris
✨ What iridologists look for in the eyes
✨ How patterns, colors, and markings are traditionally observed
✨ What those observations may encourage us to become more aware of in our habits and overall well-beingThis is an introduction designed to spark curiosity, awareness, and conversation — not diagnosis.
### 🌿 WHAT TO EXPECT
👁️ A beginner-friendly introduction to iridology
🖼️ Visual examples and eye charts
💡 Interesting observations and wellness awareness
🤝 A Sharing Circle after the presentation
🥗 Raw vegan food and relaxed community connection
🌿 A welcoming space to ask questions and learn together
### 🥭 WHAT TO BRING
🥗 A raw, plant-based dish to share (serves ~10)
Bring something you enjoy sharing with others — fruit, salad, dips, dressings, raw desserts, or another favorite living-food creation.💚 RVTB paid members attend at no additional cost
🌿 Friends & guests: suggested $5 contribution### 💚 THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
✨ You’re curious about iridology
✨ You’ve ever wondered why holistic practitioners look at the eyes
✨ You enjoy learning more about your body and wellness journey
✨ You want meaningful conversation, not just information
✨ You’re looking for a supportive raw living communityYou belong here.
### 💬 SHARING CIRCLE
After Lynn’s presentation, we’ll gather together to reflect and share. Some of us have had our eyes read before, while others have studied iridology more deeply or even completed training through Dr. Robert Morse’s program. I’m especially looking forward to hearing how members of our own community have used iridology in their wellness journeys, what they’ve learned from it, and what possibilities it may open up for those of us who are just beginning to explore it.
- What surprised you?
- What did you notice?
- What made you curious?
- And what might you want to become more aware of moving forward?
