Growing Paradise in Cape Town, South Africa

Rarely do Americans end up in Cape Town.

Its a great place, with a reputation that may scare away some

but overall an extremely pleasant place to be.

I was there for 6 weeks, and although I was flown out there for modeling,

a main personal priority was to plant a food forest out there for

my new social initiative, "Grow Paradise". 

It can be found at www.growparadise.com.

My talks and my writings have shifted from Raw Veganism

to more ones more based on Permaculture and holistic living in general.

I feel that this approach is not only more realistic and sound,

but can actually attract the masses and keep them excited about

this new lifestyle and an entire new way to view life.

Raw Veganism is extremely exclusive. Let's be honest.

Few people in our society would subscribe to it, 

and perhaps its because they really shouldn't or at least don't really have to.

So Rawmodel.com will keep having posts on it,
and will still have the youtube channel of course,

but the passion and the mission is Grow Paradise.

Soon I will be getting tote bags and organic t-shirts for this,

and will also be selling seeds and other related items again soon.

Its a huge year for everything, and because the story is so perfect,

I was able to help get this Cape Town Food Forest off the ground

and it all happened on Valentines Day. Too cool.

Enjoy the video - and please spread around if you'd like!

Im funding this with my own money and generous donations from others,

so even $1 or $5 helps! The "tip jar" is right on the main page of Grow Paradise.

There is a project happening in Harlem in a few weeks,

and I will be speaking there on "Career Day" April 4th about my story

and how eating healthy, exercise, and green living has helped my career. 

Projects and Retreats happening soon in Minnesota, Utah, Hawaii, New Jersey, 

Arizona, Florida, California, and so much more. 

Ill be speaking in London at the end of June as well, 

so definitely stay in touch on FB.

Big year...keep spreading the organic garden/food forest vibe!!

MindBodyGreen...5 Ways to Create Paradise on Earth

I did a post for MindBodyGreen.com awhile back and recently reread.

Check it out if you havent read it yet! Good solutions that you can take this weekend!

http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-2895/5-Ways-to-Replant-Paradise.html

It should be GROW Paradise...replant has a negative connotation to it in my opinion...

like we have to "fix" something...we are into full positive mode with GROW. 

Much love! Keep spreading this spirit!!!!

Ron Finley's Urban Food Forest

Ron Finley...the man understands.

Bless him and let this message spread like those seeds!!!

Schoolteacher Camden Long is growing paradise in Orlando, Florida

My new friend, and Partner in Paradise, Camden Long

has taken co-creation into his own hands and decided to plant

a food forest in the apartment complex he lives in.

He asked his landlord if this was possible, 

and luckily he received the go-ahead. 

His direct action is so noteworthy...he just went for it. 

No townhall votes, no petitions...just planting paradise. 

We need many more like this young man.

He is a teacher in Orlando, Florida, and has seen first hand

the need for REAL food and the paradise lifestyle in the 

community he lives and works in.

This is where we will see the change.

Signing online petitions is fine, and useful,

but things that Camden, myself, and many more are doing is what

will really create the change that sadly so many politicians hollowly promise.

Here are some pics from last Sunday...

Camden and I planted about 10% of his total number of trees purchased.

Trees he purchased HIMSELF. The man just went for it. 

He is taking this vision much further as well.

Incorporating it into a school project and applying for grants,

his goal is 25,000 fruit trees in Florida. 

Keep your eyes on this young man! 

The inspiration is spreading.

Creating Heaven on Earth. It is possible. 

One of the papaya plant gods...just waiting to be planted.

Why yes...thank you. 

A busy little girl just doing her thing...feasting on apple nectar.

Divinity is proved with this flower.

More than just a friend...a mentor...a provider...a classroom...

Camden grabbing some bags of Mushroom Compost to add to the sandy soil.

A little goes a long way!

Camden chatting it up with the kids that were instantly

curious as to what we were doing.

We didnt have permission to film them or take pictures,

(signed permission slips are being created for Camden's

fruit tree planting party this Saturday) but it didnt matter..

we were just in the moment...enjoying every second with our little friends.

Laying out some spots for the goodies...

Camden enjoying the view...giving some good energy to Ms Papaya before

we planted her into her new home...sending that energy is critical!

And me...doing the same...show love to the plants always. 

They give us SO much and really ask for so little in return.

Grow Paradise is a proud supporter of Camden and his project.
