TO VOLUNTEER Call Arianna at (H) 718.954.0768 and (C) 718.945.9301 on the East Coast. Each week feel free to call the conference line to Meet Extraordinary Volunteer Coordinator Arianna Rose, musician and founder of Rawkaway Rose Restaurant of NYC. A letter from the coordinator:
My name is Arianna Rose, and I am delighted to have joined the Raw Spirit family as Manager of the Volunteer Programs. I am a Certified Raw Foods Chef and Instructor, the organizer of the Rockaway Raw/Living Foods Meetup Group and co-creator of the Rockaway Raw Café at the Blue Firmament Holistic Center in Rockville Centre, NY. I've been 100% raw since October 2007 and my life has been utterly transformed by this lifestyle and the wonderful people I have met.
My first Raw Spirit Festival was in 2008 at Sedona. What stays with me most was the loving, free-spirited energy generated by the staff and participants and how smoothly everything ran, and I eagerly anticipate this year's festivals to connect, renew, revitalize, and share a deeply harmonious experience.
I invite you to join our intentional family as a volunteer at the festivals in 2009. The Raw Spirit Festivals truly could not happen without our dedicated and responsible volunteers, and I am so looking forward to manifesting a magical and authentic experience for staff, presenters, attendees, vendors, sponsors, and especially you!
I hope that you will take this step of co-creating community this year on a grand scale at one or more of our Festivals. I look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you as one of our valued and appreciated 2009 Volunteers. You can reach me directly at arianna@rawspirit.com
With Appreciation,
Arianna Rose
