Have you ever thought about gaining a certificate in raw food preparation or a diploma in teaching raw food classes?
I have and still am thinking about choosing the right one.
There is quite a few raw food chefs who are skilled in food preps as well as how to teach people how to teach classes.
Some of them have a degrees in Nutrition, which is always a plus, even if we all know that main nutrition field tought in schools is far away from raw food nutrition.
But the question that rings in my head is : Do I need a certificate to teach people about raw foods ? If I would go for it , would I certificate myself for the sake of certificate itself, for feeling more confident or because it is the best way to answer people’s question about where did I come from or what my background is ?
I am sure that the customers would appreciate me having a diploma of some sort in raw foods. It could calm down these people who have never heard about raw food nutrition.
My certificate or diploma would serve as a proof that I am some how approved. And we all feel safer when we see that the experiment was done on somebody else previously.
I am sure that learning from somebodys experience is always beneficial and brings a shortcut to get the knowledge quicker and even maybe with less efort.
But, looking at my intuitive paintings I make…What would happen if I would go to this art school and learn HOW instead of figuring it all out by myself ?
I know that I would gain a confidence and maybe I won’t be shy to call myself an ARTist.
For sure I would have a resume based on my school achievements and I could show a proof of my background.
On the other hand I know so many artists who quit their art schools because they felt that all they do is satisfying teacher’s needs and following the path of others.
Now, learning how to hold a knife and cut properly is helpful.
As long as the school will open me up for raw food journey and all it’d provide is a knowledge and support – I’m fine.
As long as I can imagine whatever I can.
See, David Wolfe is self – tough health advisor. Just recently, after many years of teaching he gained a Master Degree in Nutrition.
Shazzie is this quirky, intuitive, raw food Rockstar girl who uses her hands and lips as a tools for the most weird , sexy food experiments.
And we have trusted them ever since.
I strongly feel that by having some sort of proof that I am educated in the field I teach would make people feel more secure with me at the classes.
I also am sure that time spent with other raw food people would be well used.
But I wish as well that all of us would feel enough confident to teach raw foods right here right now, no matter if there is a document behind.
Most of us used to eat WHATEVER without asking questions why should we.
As soon as I decide about this step – I will let you now.
