Thank you for your help and for all you do!

What
is Eco-Raw Living?
How is it beyond the “raw food diet"?
EcoRaw Living is not only a natural way to satisfy our taste buds and nutrient needs without compromising the principles of ecology, sustainability, and nutritional health. It is a complete approach to life, involving every aspect of cellular nutrition and health that is known to science: Unlike other lifestyle approaches, including many raw food paths that often sadly focus on "EGO"-raw rather than Eco-raw choices (by emphasizing easily-marketable superficial traits), Eco-Raw Living (launched by Ecopolitan in January 2006) teaches the following:

You Must See This Film This Weekend
An Inconvinient Truth (Al Gore)
Al Gore's global-warming documentary film, An Inconvenient Truth, (preview) is being released for public viewing this weekend. The more people watch it in its opening weeked of screening, the greater the impact it will have on politicians and corporations who are associated with global-warming producing activities.
Dr. T and his friends are going to view the movie Friday June 9, at 5:00 PM, in the Uptown Theater. Please join us! If you prefer other locations (or if you reside elsewhere), please make a point of seeing the movie this weekend, whereever you are! We’re asking people to see the movie ANYTIME this weekend to increase its ratings and make politicians pay attention to the global warming issue. (take a peek at the movie: climatecrisis.net or find a theater near you). What a great way to be an activist while being entertained by an aclaimed movie!
Please forward this invitation to friends. Feel free to invite as many people as you like to view this movie with you.
P.S. please carpool or take public transit if possible! ask us if you want to know where people live, or leave your location/info in your reply so we can try to set up rideshares. good way to make new friends, too!
Upcoming Events
Get-together at the River Haven
The River Haven Intentional Community is the proposed site of Ecopolitan's EcoRaw Immersion Healing Retreat! Here is your invitation:
On Saturday, June 17, we will have our first get-together at River Haven for the summer. Other get-togethers will occur on July 22 and August 19. So mark your calendars!
We continue to make steady progress here. Our dome is beautiful and very livable. We are preparing to coat the outside this summer with a stucco-like finish. And we've just finished reroofing the cabin with cedar shakes. It looks great. You can also view Adiel's new treehouse, or at least a treehouse-in-the-making. It promises to be quite impressive.
We've changed our name ever so slightly from River Hayven, to River Haven. The original name referred to the Hay River. But if you didn't know we're on the Hay River, you would have thought we were spelling challenged. Hence the disappearance of the "y." And the name change heralds the beginning of new positioning to launch the community into some significant expansion. More on that later!
On Saturday, June 17, folks are welcome to arrive in the afternoon and just enjoy the scenery with us. For anyone willing, there will be garden work to do. We'll do dome tours for those of you who haven't seen our new home. Potluck will be at 6:00pm, so bring a dish to share - Potluck dishes should be at least vegan. And raw is great. A campfire may occur if conditions aren't too dry (we've been accumulating lots of burnables!).
Directions to River Haven are:
River Haven can be reached by taking Interstate 94 to the highway 25 exit (Menomonie, WI exit #41) then traveling north on Highway 25 about eight miles to County Road G. Turning to the right (east) on County Road G, go about one mile until you see two driveways close together on the left at the end of a curve in the road. The River Haven drive is the first one. The address is N9562 County Road G. The N9562 is a fire number and it is on a little red sign at the driveway. Just come to the dome once you park your car. If we aren't outside to meet you, just come inside and yell (we forgot the doorbell!).
If you need to contact us by phone, call Ann or Randy at 715-632-2610. We look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones! The Folks at River Haven.
To read more about River Haver, take a look in an article which appeared in the Ecopolitan newsletter last summer:
What is the Intentional Community of River Haven?
Article Summary: River Haven, the Wisconsin intentional community supporting Sustainable EcoRaw Living, is blossoming into a community that promotes a transition towards healthy lifestyle and spiritual growth while living ecologically on the land. There are many intentional communities in the world, some 600 in North America. Intentional communities are formed around intents or beliefs. These communities allow people of common belief systems to be neighbors in co-housing or subdivisions, and to participate communally in economically productive activities.

Breast Thermography at Ecopolitan Building
|
|
Breast Thermography, Also Known As Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI)- is available at the Ecopolitan Building on the first Monday of each month between 9:00-10:00 AM and 2 PM.
Next Dates:
Monday, July 3rd, 2006
Monday, August 7th, 2006
To schedule your DITI appointment please call Joe’s direct line- 612-870-2974.
DITI is a radiation free, contact free, non invasive (symptom-free), state of the art clinical screening test recommended for women of all ages. This test is part of an early breast disease detection program that provides women an opportunity to greatly increase their chances of addressing early stages of cancer and other breast disease. Unlike conventional mammography, DITI is completely safe for pregnant women, women with breast implants, and dense or sensitive breasts, since there is no contact with or compression of the breast. DITI has been recognized as a viable diagnostic tool since 1987 by the AMA Council on Scientific affairs and the ACA Council on Diagnostic Imaging, since 1988 by the Congress of Neuro-Surgeons, and since 1990 by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
The screening at Ecopolitan (the ONLY MODERN DITI currently available in the Twin Cities that is interpreted by a Board-Certified Radiologist) includes a full thermographic imaging examination and color images, interpretation of the non-breast tissue findings by a Certified Thermographer, and medical interpretation by a board-certified medical radiologist.
Our certified thermographer is Valerie Zumbusch. Her number for technical questions is (612) 741-3954 and her email address is vzumbusc at amfam.com.
To schedule, call Joe (of Ecopolitan and of the FDH Foundation) at 612-870-2974. More information on radiation free breast screening.

Eco-Business of the Month
Occasionally we promote businesses that are eco-friendly (using biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning materials, laundry detergents, recycled goods and other safe supplies, or moving in that direction by implementing environmentally-conscious policies). We hope that many businesses will follow suit and we will gladly promote them in future newsletters, encouraging our readers to support their efforts and helping them make these often-costly activities a worthwhile investment in their business and in our planet's future. If you feel that your business qualifies, please let us know.

This month's Eco-Business is Blackberry Hills Farm, a great source for organic fresh produce during our summer months.
We recommend for everyone to become members of this (or other) CSA Farms (Community-Supported Agriculture), to support local growers who are more ecological in their farming practices, reduce the toll of long-distance transportation on our environment, and get truly fresh produce - often within less than 24 hours of harvest- retaining more nutrients, avoiding the problems of storage, and tasting much better!
CSA FARM PICK-UP NOW AT ECOPOLITAN
Would you like to receive a weekly box of fresh organic produce from a Wisconsin family farm? We still have 3 shares available and we have added Ecopolitan as a pick-up site on Fridays (5-10 p.m.). Members receive a 5/9 bushel box of fresh organic produce for 16 weeks ( June 16 to September 29). Cost is $450.
Blackberry Hills Farm (1989) is located 20 miles northeast of Menomonie, Wisconsin. The 30-acre farm consists of a fruit orchard; flower, herb and vegetable gardens; berry patches; beautiful rolling hills; and woods with abundant wildlife (kept out of our garden with an electric fence).
