Warren Kramer internationally-known Senior Macrobiotic Counselor will be in Atlanta July 15-20, 2009. Teacher for the Kushi Institute, Strengthening Health Institute, the Macrobiotic Cruise, and New England Macrobiotic Center, Warren brings a wealth of knowledge gained from the eleven years he served as Michio Kushi’s private assistant, as well as over 25 years counseling throughout the world.
In Atlanta Warren will be giving private consultations, macrobiotic cooking classes, and evening lectures in the Dunwoody area. Attend all events & have a private consultation, and you will receive 15% savings on lecture and cookings classes Thursday through Sunday.
Please contact Marsha Rueff to reserve consultation time with Warren and your choice of venues at marsharueff@mac.com .
Phone contact: 678 . 643 . 5662 or 770 . 396 . 9413.
For Warren’s bio please visit www.macrobioticsnewengland.com
Friday July 17, please join us for a special evening’s lecture, Menu Planning Essentials, July 17, 7:30-9 pm The Rueff Home, 1130 Trailridge Lane, Dunwoody, Georgia 30338
Always participants request this menu-planning class every time Warren visits. It truly is one of the most important lectures. Why? Because all the theory from macrobiotic books has to actually happen in the kitchen. In YOUR kitchen, to be exact. And Warren’s Menu Planning Class is key! Based on his years of working with Michio Kushi and Denny Waxman, Warren guides us step by step using the principles of yin and yang according to Macrobiotic guidelines. Involving our input in the process. Yes, this is an interactive lecture.
See it this way: we’re implementing a new way of eating, and especially considering we have health concerns to correct, eating well-planned meals becomes essential. The hit-or-miss-grab-whatever-is-ready-to-gulp-down when we come home from work is history. We can do better than being too famished and tired to cook. Now we want a welcoming meal, featuring the best food choices. Because now we know better. And now we are using macrobiotic principles to enhance our health and well-being. You see, macrobiotics is a way of eating based on the energetics of food. That is to say, it’s based on how the foods make us feel after we eat, and what kind of energy we have the next day, too. What kind of energy the food charges our bodies with. Way different than a calorie or carb or protein based diet like most of the new-fad diets circulating the last few years, don’t you think?
Your macrobiotic diet is very special, and Warren’s presentation of developing macrobiotic menus for you and your loved ones is truly an art, and it’s very easy to adapt. From this plan you will learn to shop for your week. Even how to substitute foods according to the season and what’s available organic. Plus you reap the benefits of being with this group and hearing their keen experiences cooking macrobiotic diet. Warren actually plans with the group a whole weeks worth of meals! Yep, we do it together, so turn your thinking cap on. You’re going to experience where to start when planning a meal, and the logical steps from there. It’s way different than you may think, much easier, and funner too!

And get ready to implode your health journey!
Lectures and Cooking Classes with Warren! Once you’ve attended one, you’ll be hooked like we are! This guy is fresh off the Macro Cruise where he was booked around the clock and lectured to standing room groups. And why not? Warren was private assistant to Michio Kushi nearly 12 years, a non-paying position, for one dedicated individual to learn from the Master! Scribing notes during counseling sessions from early morning til the wee hours – and he learned it so well.
And there’s so much more to Warren, than just that! You’ll hear it all when you join us. In fact, Warren is now the Senior Counselor Michio recommends for counseling. Yep, Michio’s handed it over to Warren. So come join us in Atlanta and reap the benefit of all those counseling experiences. Check out this website event times, places.

Breakfast of Champions! Gets You Up and Keeps You Going!
So, why attend a class about breakfast! What’s so special about this one meal to warrant a Macrobiotic Cooking Class called Breakfast of Champions. Numerous reasons! One of the first questions asked about Macrobiotic Diet is: what do you eat for breakfast?? do you really have miso soup in the morning? What’s wrong with dry cereal and skim milk for breakfast?
Want the skinny on breakfast? Ever notice Dunkin’ Donuts logo: we get you up and keep you going! Sure do! All that sugar and caffeine, and guess what happens to our blood stream at 11:00 AM & 3:00 PM? Hypoglycemic dip ~ we are falling on our face, and needing what??? Another coffee break: latte, donuts, breakfast bars to get us going ‘til lunch.
And now, folks, here’s the Macro take on breakfast: providing sustainability. How would soaring energy til 12:30 or 1:00 fit your bill! Perform all morning, and be the wiz at work, home, home-schooling, driving without dozing, exercise/yoga/walk strongly. In other words, enjoy peak performance throughout your day.
Easily achieved with a macro breakfast: composed of a grain and a vegetable. Our rice and other whole grain, warm nourishing dish would keep the 3 bears and Goldilocks happy forever! And you too. Delish and sweet without sugar, it’s so easily digested we can concentrate on tasks at-hand, rather than sluggishly, barely being able to navigate through the morning. Looking for the donut cart to peel around the corner. Vegetables for breakfast??? you ask. I know it seemed so different to me too, but just think about it. Veggies get the digestive tract moving, so what better time than first thing in the morning? And speaking about time, wanta know the best time for eating breakfast? Best before 8 AM. Between 5-7 AM, and we’ll explain more about this in the class. Really Creamy Porridge that’s Not Oatmeal – oatmeal is sooooo mucous forming we just save it for when we’re traveling and can’t get our other grains!
Here’s more about the selections & health benefits you will learn in this Macrobiotic Cooking Class: Breakfast of Champions
Join us!! February 26, 2011 1:00 – 4:00 PM $45 per person

This Home Remedies Class is just as about as important as learning miso soup, brown rice, beans and & greens!
LIke the Crown Jewel of Macrobioitics! Why?
Remedies are amazing combinations of macro food already on the shelves of our kitchen.
Only, we might never think of preparing them to help us overcome fever, pain, hasten cuts healing, menstrual cramping,
severe bruises from a fall, severe headaches ~ even migraines, jet lag, medicating for a dental appointment, & much more, til you learn it in a class! Then you know! Your confidence level just measured, yep, I can do this! Easily!
Warren explains taking conventional medicines band-aid a situation, rather than heal it from within,
actually driving the condition deeper into our body. But macrobiotic home remedies hasten healing, and change the direction of our health.
This class is really special, and important for those new to macrobiotics. You’ll have these great tools and know how to
use them right from the start of your practicing macro. Which is why we planned it at the beginning of the series!
It’s so much better knowing how to make these remedies well, before you, or someone you love, need them.
Then, you’ll be the expert. And sure, you’ll follow directions, but you won’t be learning it from scratch at an emergency!
Much easier to observe an experiment in a cooking class mode, than on yourself or family member when they are in pain, don’cha think?
And you’ll become the expert offering your 2 cents on The Kind Life Website of Alicia Silverstone, and suddenly everyone knows your preferred home remedy! Alicia refers to Carrot-Daikon Tea, which you’ll be sampling, too!
