FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Week Long Raw Food Retreat in Ojai, CA

LOS ANGELES, California, July 18th 2004/Ekaya Institute -- Storm Talifero

(AKA Nutman) will host a week-long raw food retreat at The Matilija Ranch in

Ojai, California August 6th through 12th. The retreat is open to anyone who

wants to attain their ideal weight and improve their health and fitness.



54 year old Storm who looks like a 35 year old Dick Gregory (but with

muscles) has been a raw-vegan since 1972. He has been giving raw food

retreats for 15 years aboard his sailboat and at retreat centers around the

world. He is known for delivering the healthy lifestyle message with humor

and compassion.



The Raw Food Diet has become a huge trend especially in Hollywood where

celebrities such as Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Alicia Silverstone, Sting

and Madonna have all tried and praised this way of eating. The Raw Vegan

Diet consists of fruits, nuts, and vegetables with nothing heated over 118

degrees.



This is Storm's second retreat at The Matilija Ranch, a 500 acre property

set in the national forest with three historic ranch houses surrounded by

organic orange groves. A river runs through it and peacocks roam freely.

The houses are decorated in 1910 period furnishings.



People attend Storm's Raw Food Retreats to lose weight, gain muscle tone, or

improve their overall health. They learn how to prepare the simple raw food

meals that Storm and his family make their staples. These include vegetable

juices, salads and other vegetable dishes, nut milks, nut-based deserts,

fruit smoothies and fruit salads. They also learn Storm's workout and get

advice on how to start a regular workout routine.
