Category — The Essential Series

We’re still in week 1 of our launch and have registered future Natural Living Educators from coast to coast. We are so excited about bringing this program to communities around the country and thrilled at how many individuals have chosen to be a part of changing the health trends of this country!

We will begin training educators in March, and have registrations from California, Colorado, Florida, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin! Don’t see your state in that list? You can change that!

We’ve also had questions about the new program, particularly if there can be more than 1 per state and how far along a student has to be to register. There is no limit on the number of educators per state, town or city. Even if we had 5 or 10 in every city, they’d stay very busy keeping everyone educated about wellness! For our students – there is no requirement on the progress you’ve made to add this program to your workload. Whether you enrolled yesterday or 3 years ago, you can add the educator program to what you’re already doing and it will compliment it perfectly.

Got more questions? Let us know! That’s why we’re here!

To celebrate the launch of our new Essentials program, we’re giving away Vintage Remedies gift certificates to help you get started! We’ll have 4 tiers of winners; the grand prize is a $125 gift certificate. Next comes a $75 gift certificate, a $50 gift certificate and 5 runner ups will win a free copy of The Kitchen Herbal. If you’re one of the winners and we’re still registering the first 25 educators, you can combine that discount with the gift certificate! (See the note below about using the gift certificate post registration.)

Here’s how to enter: Leave a comment below. You can earn additional comments by liking our new Vintage Remedies Essentials facebook page, following our new @VREssentials account on twitter, signing up for the new Essentials newsletter and sharing the news with your friends via facebook, twitter or your blog. So, you can earn up to 7 entries on your own, and you can have friends enter for you as well – just like last time. Here’s the only catch: Make sure you like / follow / join / promote the NEW ESSENTIALS pages! We’ll be posting and sharing special wellness tips on these pages, just like we do with the regular Vintage Remedies School pages.

Also – an important reminder – you MUST post a separate comment for each action you take to receive the entry. We’ll draw the winners from the comment numbers, so each individual comment is another chance to win.

You have until midnight tomorrow (Wed) to enter. We’ll draw the winners Thursday morning. If you want to sign up for the educator program to be in the first 25 that save $100 but are also entering the contest, please note: we can apply any gift certificates from this contest to a registration that takes place today or tomorrow; if you win, you’ll be refunded the gift certificate amount Thursday at your request. (Or, you can save it for later use towards class supplies or Vintage Remedies products; your choice!) We’ve already signed up several educators, so don’t delay!

UPDATE: The contest is now closed. Congrats to #53 Stacia Miller, our grand prize winner, #6 Dawn Williamson our $75 gift certificate winner and #134 our $50 gift certificate winner! Also, congrats to #s 118, 16, 56, 9 and 131 for their copies of The Kitchen Herbal! 

Its finally here! Our newest program is now available and we’ve already begin registering Natural Living Educators! Our brand new Essential Series is designed to address the massive confusion and misinformation that abounds regarding natural living, public health and real foods.

The United States spends over $6,000 annually per person on health care. That’s nearly 3 times more than the next highest country’s health care costs in the world. What does that get us? Embarrassing life expectancy and infant mortality rates that don’t even begin to measure up to other countries. Our children are the first generation in over a hundred years to face a lower life expectancy rate than their parents enjoyed. Much of this is preventable, due to obesity, lifestyle and simple bad habits. When the rates are already sub-par, that’s a highly disturbing trend.

We want to see that trend reversed, and we know it’s possible through basic lifestyle changes and evidence based prevention. We also know it can be fun and enjoyable to implement new habits; there’s no reason for it to be a chore. So, our new essentials series is designed to do just that – promote the essentials of wellness across the globe. We’re training and certifying Natural Living Educators to take the real foods and natural health programs into homes, churches, physician’s offices and community centers in their local own cities and towns. They’ll provide 4 week classes that are packed with practical information, tips and tools to implement these changes. Each class will feature DVD clips from me, with essential health information for these new habits, and hands on sessions with the Natural Living Educator where participants will learn how to make simple natural remedies at home, how to transform family favorite recipes to feature real foods, how to save money on real foods and so much more! (Supplies for these projects are included in the participant kit, which the Natural Living Educator obtains from us, packaged in a convenient reusable shopping bag!)

If you’re already passionate about real foods and natural health, and already have essentials habits in your home, you’d make a perfect Natural Living Educator! The program is brand new, so you have a special opportunity to be one of the very first in your area to offer these classes! AND, the first 25 educators to purchase training kits will save $100 on their costs! We’ve already begun registering educators, so that won’t last long!

Before I send you over to the website, there’s also one more important aspect of this program. When you attend a Vintage Remedies Essentials Class, you make it possible for us to support health education in less wealthy nations. We’re sponsoring pre-natal and child development classes in Haiti that teach women life saving skills such as malaria prevention, healthy pregnancy and breastfeeding support. Don’t forget to click on the Giving Back tab when you head over to the website.

And of course, we will be posting the next giveaways soon. Today’s are big! To get a head start, you can go ahead and like our brand new Essentials facebook page and follow us on our new Essentials twitter account. Then subscribe to our Essentials newsletter and share us on your social networks.  That will give you bonus entries once the contest is posted!
