Lisa is a Colorado-based Certified Vegan Chef, award-winning author of three cookbooks, two lifestyle workbooks, a speaker, and beekeeper. Her regional cookbook, Food ELEVATED, was recently awarded a First Place, Gold Medal award in the Colorado Independent Publishers Association 2022 national book competition. Coming from a healthcare background, particularly cardiovascular and overall disease prevention, she uses the information on how and what we eat and how it impacts our health, quality of life, and longevity into helpful tips and tools for the non-cook. She supports this data-driven belief and challenge through writing plant-based cookbooks, podcasts, videos, and more! Her greatest joy now is when a friend or student emails her that they made their first primarily plant-based meal! How cool is that? Do you have to want to be a full-on plant-based vegan to learn from Lisa? Not at all. What is most important? Discovering your plant-forward self, eating less meat, and eating more veg – the goodness of the earth!

I'm a Recovery Counselor and work with clients from all over the world via Zoom as well as in-person at my own Intensive Recovery Residential Retreat. I've developed Emotional Integration Training as the fundamental process to give clients the tools they will need for real recovery. The SAMHSA (Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration) working definition of recovery is: a process of change where individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life and strive to reach their full potential. "Recovery" is for everyone. And at its heart, what I am actually recovering is my true Self. I work with individuals using a Collaborative Conversation Model which organically holds a space for you to access your own resources and strengths. My extensive 30+ years' of experience with addiction recovery, spiritual cultivation and integration allows me to be comfortable working with anyone from any background. I've adopted the following quote from Ita Ford - a Maryknoll Sister who was murdered in El Salvador in 1980 - as my personal mission statement and it reflects the way I will work with you, as I don't have answers, only questions, and experience with looking: Can I say to my neighbor: I have no solution for this situation, I have no answers, but I want to go with you and look for them with you? Can I allow myself to be evangelized by this opportunity? Am I able to see my own poverty and accept what I learn from others?

Karyn Calabrese declares "she is not special". Yet it is undeniable, she has a special gift. She has learned to listen to the knowledge innate within herself and become a leading holistic healer and teacher. Many people look at Karyn at 67 and assume she inherited a strong matriarchy. The facts are, however, that both her mother and grandmother died at ages younger than Karyn is now. With this seeming fate at hand, she sets out to prove her genetic heredity wrong. This is where her story begins. Alone with two children to raise, she bought her first wheatgrass juicer and opened a new life of growth and prosperity with her first business, growing and distributing wheatgrass. More importantly this began her life-long exploration into the inter-connectedness between food and body and the ultimate attainment of self-insurance and inner peace. Karyn had been a vegetarian for 12 years, but this was merely a first step leading towards a completely raw food diet. No doubt this is a tough life to come to. It is out of the "norm" and denies what we have so long held as "truths". To make this more feasible, Karyn opened her raw-foods restaurant, Karyn's Fresh Corner, which was a thriving success. Although mostly self taught, Karyn had many mentors along the way. It was through these interactions that Karyn found the next important step in her path. She believes it is not enough to simply eat live foods but to cleanse the body of the strong, negative, anti-life foods still in the body. Today, Karyn teaches detoxification classes through the year to give these lessons to others. To facilitate this process of cleansing, she opened a holistic therapy center, Karyn's Inner Beauty Center. This is where we find Karyn today. A 67 year old woman and "Raw Foodist of the Year" who lives the full, lively life she envisioned giving herself. She is working on a book that gives the voice to the positive experiences of the people she has helped along their own journeys. And this is what, contrary to what she declares, does indeed make her special. She has created an all-encompassing environment of food, health, guidance and care where we can all participate in our own well being. For as Karyn herself questions at the end of every day: "If you don't take care of this, the most magnificent machine you'll ever be given, where are you going to live?"
