I never thought I would say this but…I’m tired of traveling. As a Sagittarius (double that is, sun + rising!), my world doesn’t feel quite right when I’m settled in one place for more than a few weeks. I thrive on change and the excitement of waking up in a new place surrounded by foreign sights  sounds and smells just waiting to be explored. And those synchronistic encounters with strangers …

I have a confession to make.  I, Claire Ragozzino, am a goat cheese addict.  Okay, addict is an overstatement.  But about once a year I get in the mood for goats milk kefir and feta, and I eat it for about a month until I become tired of the dairy and go back to being dairy-free again.  There’s nothing wrong with that, right? Well for a long time I felt …

After the most blissful week of camping in Joshua Tree for Spirit Weaver’s Gathering, I drove back to the coast to quench my dry desert thirst with a few days of LA meandering, filled with juice bar explorations, farmer’s market wanderings and beachside picnics. I finally got the chance to check out my dream of a juice bar, Moon Juice, when I was in LA …

As we breath in the last few breaths of spring, I am excited to share with you all some exciting news…drumroll….today I’m releasing my very first eBook for purchase online! As you know, I’m an avid year-round juicer, but I also believe in the power of eating seasonally and following the natural rhythms of the earth. I wanted to create a guide that allows you to reap the benefits …

Around here, Cinco de Mayo means giant feast with all my favorite Mexican-inspired flavors. May 5th is also my good friend and neighbor’s birthday (her nickname is Cinco because of this – send her some birthday love!), so we have double the reason for a serious taco celebration! This year, I’ve pulled together for you a party of my favorite tried-and-true mostly raw, completely vegan taco filling recipes: …

Easter may be over, but I have a smoothie recipe that will brighten up even the rainiest of April days! With the warmer weather here, I’m finally craving morning smoothies and enjoying big raw salads for lunch again – oh how I missed this! My local CSA is back up and running in full swing, and I’ve been getting the most incredible weekly boxes of fresh produce.  With …

These days, I’ve been trying to take life a little bit slower. To enjoy the pause between moments, to slow down to reconnect.  In fact, this is a theme I’ve been consciously exploring this year. When I was first starting my business and even before that, back to when I was working my first real salaried job out of college, I had this intense drive to work as hard as …

I’ve become totally hooked on rock climbing.  For me, climbing is yoga.  It has this beautiful way of pulling me 100% into the present moment. It thrusts me out of my head and into the movement, my breath, and my surroundings.  And isn’t that union with stillness the true practice of yoga? In an unexpected way, climbing has deepened my connection with my personal yoga practice on and off the …

Equinox Blessings dear friends! Spring couldn’t have come at a better time this year, I was beginning to lose hope that I’d ever see sunshine on my bare skin again.  This week I’ve been enjoying daily walks with friends and romancing ideas of outdoor picnics in the park. I’ve grown tired of my root veggies and have already yielded to my cravings for light, raw cleansing …
