“One of the highlights of my year is the Portland Raw & Living Spirit Retreat. Each time I have attended, I have met wonderful people. The setting is exquisite. The friendliness of the organizers spreads to the presenters and attendees, putting everyone in a joyous mood for the duration. This is an event that I hope to never miss. The dedication to congruent health science is perhaps stronger at this event than at any other.”
- Dr. Douglas N. Graham, author, The 80/10/10 Diet

“The Raw & Living Spirit Retreat is my favorite conference every year. I bring my family and we all enjoy the entire event. The Camp is pristine and the food is a remarkable combination of taste and living nutrition for the body and soul. The people who attend are always a new family, and the workshops and lectures are filled with wonderful wit, wisdom, knowledge and practical advice. It is a must do event.” - Steven A.
