Note! This vacation is no longer available and has moved to a waiting list... Please click HERE if you would like to be added to the waiting list. I will do my best to accommodate you. Also - I am pleased to say I will soon announce a warmer climate retreat in Florida for those of you who have been asking about a warm-weather retreat. If you are interested, please check back for more details on this page. :-)
Who says raw foodies don’t have a social life? Join other like-minded friends for an unforgettable mountainside adventure! Learn how to make mouthwatering and warming dishes that anyone will love!
Although the colder season is really a small challenge, many new raw foodies look ahead with trepidation.
Are you worrying about any of the following:
* What to eat to keep you warm through the winter
* Really keeping your goals in the coming year
* How to keep your health up and your weight down
* What you can un-cook that others will like
* How to travel successfully on raw
Join raw chef Eva Rawposa to get everything you need to enjoy family, fun and food this winter. At the Mountainside Adventure Getaway, you’ll...
Learn how to prepare a wide range of Eva's popular recipes!
* Everyday favorites you’ll learn how to make (to keep on hand at home) include Whole Wheat Crackers, Fiesta Crackers, Corn Chips, Easy Bread and more
* Eva’s Pizza recipe!
* The indulgent yet health-giving breakfast buffets will include juices, smoothies, mylk and cereal, pancakes, scones and more
* Warming Soups Class will include Butternut Squash Bisque, Hearty Tomato Soup, and Eat Your Broccoli Soup
* Hors d’oeuvres Class will include Personal Pizzas, Nori Rolls (that *really* taste like they must have rice), Burrito Bites and more
* Bring home a bound book with all the recipes
Come on This Vacation, and you WILL:
* Experience amazing gourmet food - decadent snacks, meals, and desserts
* Learn the tricks to preparing the food so it’s EASY
* Learn first-hand just how easy it is to stay raw... even during the winter
* Plenty of goodies to bring home with you
* Leave feeling like you’re ready to treat yourself the way you deserve
Eva will also share tips on what to do for your next trip and how to still have a full social life even while raw, including the 5 Must-Have Items for Travel (that are unbelievably easy to get or make) that you can carry along on any car or plane trip. Because traveling while raw is really easy *IF* you know what to do/bring.
 
The retreat takes place in a mountainside home in the Maggie Valley near Asheville, North Carolina. Enjoy the panaramic view on a hike or from your seat on the wraparound porch, with views of the Smoky Mountains. Melt away any stress in daily (optional) yoga dance classes suited for all levels of experience.

Taking classes with Eva is always a real treat - her energy and enthusiasm for teaching are contagious. From the start of every class, we really dive into everything. There is no topic off limits, which always makes for some extra entertainment... people ask some of the funniest questions. I don't know how she always has the answers, but she is like a walking, talking, laughing (and always smiling) encyclopedia.
And she tells it like it is, gives you all those little details to make everything EASY. She even tells you what not to do, keeps you laughing when she tells anecdotes about the lessons she learned the hard way.
There is simply no way to walk out of one of Eva’s classes without a smile. And you definitely leave knowing ALL there is to know to go home and make the same tasty dish yourself. And everything is so tasty. Ridiculously tasty.
Not to mention, the materials are always so professional and thorough. I can’t say enough good things about learning and playing in the kitchen in private classes with Eva or in one of the big group classes. I have never been disappointed.”
- Janice Lefkowitz
Kick back with new raw friends: people who understand you and will support your desire to eat vibrant food and to treat yourself as wonderfully as you deserve. There’s an Internet cafe nearby if you really need to get into your email, although LIFE and LAUGHTER are encouraged over the computer!
Round out your getaway with one of these options:
* Great Smoky Mountains National Park
* The Appalachian Trail
* Skiing
* Snow Tubing
* Blue Ridge parkway

* Asheville, NC (1/2 hour)
--> Nearby Airport
* Greenville, SC (1-2 hours) --> Nearby Airport
* Knoxville, TN (1-2 hours) --> Nearby Airport - SEE AGENDA BELOW FOR SHUTTLE TIMES!
*Charlotte, NC (2-3 hours)
* Columbia, SC (3 hours)
* Atlanta, GA (3-4 hours)
* Lexington, KY (4-5 hours)
* Richmond, VA (6-7 hours)

The recipes were doable, and I think I will be able to make substitutions on my own to create more varieties of flavors...I really enjoyed the class! Thanks so much. Looking forward to the next one!”
Give Yourself a Fabulous Early Gift at an Amazingly Low Price
The Getaway includes a 5-day, 4-night stay with all classes, meals, lodging, materials, yoga, and a guided tour of the Smoky Mountains!
How much would you expect to pay for:
* Over 12 hours of raw foods instruction from an expert chef
* 3 gourmet raw meals each day
* Staying in a mountainside home with panoramic views from
your room
* Optional yoga classes
* Optional guided mountain hike
* Nightly movies
This many classes with Chef Eva Rawposa would normally cost well over $1000, PLUS the cost of food. And that’s just for the classes!! If you were to stay at a nice hotel in the Maggie Valley area, you would pay at LEAST $100 per night... yet you still wouldn’t have a full kitchen and dining room and you’d be incredibly lucky to have a porch and view half as nice as this home’s.
But this whole retreat is available to a limited number of guests at unreasonably reasonable rates!

What EXACTLY will we do? The Agenda
* CLICK TO SEE A BIGGER COPY OF THE AGENDA HERE
I’ve had others who know me, know my classes, and see what I’m charging... tell me I’m crazy. That includes Karen Knowler, my business coach. That includes my financial planner. That even includes some of my clients here in Florida, who are thinking maybe they should go up to North Carolina just to get my classes for less.
I want to help as many people as possible in whatever way they need to be helped. The way I figure it, if people can just manage to get away from home for a few days, they can have the mental space to really grasp the food. Not to mention, yoga in the mornings and mountain hikes in the afternoon? Of course they’re both optional, but that right there will help anyone to clear a busy mind!

If you are not 100% confident with your raw food skills or are even just looking for a fabulous raw getaway, join us and treat yourself the way you DESERVE in the coming year.
“
Eva, Let me tell you something... You have a gift from God... You have the taste and abilities to put meals together that really taste good... Maybe I’m not a professional restaurant taster, but I grew up in a restaurant because my mom owned a few very successful and prestigious restaurants in Europe. I also traveled to many places in the world and had eaten at many wonderful gourmet restaurants.
During the seven days of your classes I tried your recipes and I [am] amazed how tasteful they are... I’m not new to the raw or living food cuisine (have been almost 4 years on raw vegan diet). I do lots of experiments on my husband who is not a raw vegan (yet!). He loves your recipes!!! I would recommend your classes to the people who are new to the raw vegan diet as well as to the people who has been for a while on living food diet and wants some fresh ideas... Thank you so much Eva...”
