You Are Invited! Functional Forum on Monday evening, February 29, 2016 from 7:30 to 9:30 PM at Schwartz Living Market and Clear Communication!

Join us in our Urban Sanctuary!

You are invited to our amazing event coming up on Monday evening, February 29, 2016 from 7:30 to 9:30 PM. 

It's the Functional Forum with Jeffrey Bland and others STREAMING LIVE from Schwartz Living Market in Pittsburgh's Historic South Side!

 Five dollars at the door which includes VEGAN snacks by Mya Zeronis of extraVEGANza and VEGAN snacks prepared by Silva Abraham of Basha 21. Here's the registration link: http://meetup.functionalforum.com/pittsburgh-pa/

What's been going on at Schwartz Living Market? Well, the next chapter is upon us. We are preparing the space for the next Grand Opening in May, 2016 with lots of GREENpeneurs and HEALTH and WELLNESSpreneurs. So, a few days ago I walked in to this Urban Oasis for Healthful Living and what did I smell? Was it my imagination, or was I smelling some noxious fumes? There was my amazing contractor painting some sort of stain on a thin strip of wood adjacent to the beautiful, Made in the USA tile that now lines the area below the front window that I had hand picked, arranged by hand as a flowing riverbed, and cranked my shoulder over....

Why? What is it in me that created the situation of possible volatile organic compounds in the air inside our building? I thought I had been so very clear with all of the people putting their precious and wonderful energy into the space. You see, we have been complying with the Materials Petal of the Living Building Challenge for many, many years...I've repeated over and over and over again to everyone working and playing and being in the space that all materials MUST be cleared with me, through me before using them....Why do patterns continue to repeat themselves and why must lessons be learned over and over again?

If you've got any answers to this question, please let us know by posting on the Facebook page Schwartz Living Market or e-mail us at schwartzlivingmarket@gmail.com!

Many blessings for vibrant health, wellness and clarity!

Serving Health in Most Natural, Delicious Form

Inter-Continental Superfood Brunch Schwartz Living Market Pittsburgh, PA Share this event:  Raw acai chia falooda, fermented green tea salad and more... Gluten free, vegan, soy free, unprocessed and with no refined sugar......yes, it's possible. A part of the monthly Saturday Superfood Brunch series, this is a one-of-a-kind slow food event that typically runs for 2-3 hours, allowing guests to eat mindfully, socialize, network, have intellectual conversations, get informed about healing superfood ingredients and enjoy themselves while the food comes out course after course. By eating mindfully and not loading up on empty calories and carbs, guests leave more than full, nourished and satisfied. This is not a buffet, and table manners will be expected.

A chef who weighs 98 pounds, Mya Zeronis started cooking plant-strong Burmese farm food in her parents' kitchen at the age of 11. Despite her decade-long career in conventional, meat-centric, butter-drowned, flour-covered and sugar-coated U.S. restaurant kitchens, she identified a need for healthful foods in Pittsburgh and made it her business in 2013. By returning to her roots, she resolved some of her health issues resulted from eating whatever was readily available in restaurant kitchens. Her multifaceted business (personal chef and catering services, raw organic juice bar, vegan whole food cafe and monthly plant-based superfood brunches) aims to make healthy eating and sustainable living accessible. Nearly a dozen of her recipes won top prizes in national and local contests. Some others were published in magazines and cookbooks.

Introducing extraVEGANza! It's the newest business to grace Schwartz Living Market!

Welcome extraVEGANza to Schwartz Living Market!! We are so excited! Go to this link to be part of the process: Just cut the link below, and paste it into your browser, and you'll help Mya big time, to launch her newest venture!

 https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/eat-these-donuts-be-healthy#home

Mya Zeronis's business is morphing from Zest Wishes and The Lean Chef en Route to the 98 Pound Chef...Yes, you read that correctly! Mya was 145 pounds at one time!! Take a look at some recent blogging by a few of the bloggers at the brunch in April, 2015, and you'll see what I'm talking about. You'll see Mya spinning a giant piece of pizza dough! Those links can be found from the Schwartz Living Market Facebook Page.

What is new and what is next? Schwartz Living Market: An Urban Oasis for Healthful Living is an amazingly open, inspirational, changeable, fruitful, sensorimotor experience! When you find yourself asking what is next, what is this process, what is this project, know that you're talking to yourself, raising your awareness, and thinking about what is next for you too!!

Schwartz Living Market is selling delicious VivaPura superfood Buddha's Delight mixes, Vitality Super Mixes, and more! We also sell inspirational books by Brian Clement, Ph.D. of the Hippocrates Health Institute and his amazing wife, Anna Marie Clement, Ph.D. whose raw, vegan cookbook is outstanding!

Join us at the market on May 9. 2015 anytime between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM for a shot of wheatgrass juice, and beginning at 1:00 PM for Mya's amazing 14 course delicious meal. Allow three hours to savor the food, one course at a time. Yup, the meal is served over a course of three hours. Ingredients for the first make your own juice of the day will be available when you arrive, and the fun continues course by course over the following three hours. Mya grew up in Burma, in a different culture than those of us that grew up in the United States. This Slow Foods meal will be one of those experiences you will not forget. Where else in the 'Burgh can you be served a 14 course meal over the course of three hours that is VEGAN, ORGANIC, GLUTEN-FREE, and GMO-free and if you register early or for a series of meals, the total cost is $15.00? It's unheard of! So register soon for an individual meal or for the series, otherwise the price creeps up to the also amazingly reasonable rate of $35.00/person. I am 100% convinced that a meal of this amazing quality would cost $75.00 if it were being served at a fancy establishment at the top of Mt. Washington or in Shadyside!!

Stay tuned for the exact date when Mya will be open in Schwartz Living Market five days a week from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM serving grab and go Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner!

We are excited and blessed! Thanks so much to Violet, a graduate of Duquesne University in the field of Sustainability and Finance, and Sally graduates soon and who volunteered their time at the market and helped us get the WIFI up and running!



Blessings to all of you for a happy and healthy springtime!

through
our arteries
and veins
through the cytoplasm, the ecoplasm, the plasma

The beautiful Spaceship
called Earth
with all its
majesty

The Perception
we hold
is ours
to form
Our thoughts
CREATE
OUR REALITY
So shift your thoughts towards Positivity
Creativity
Blissful wonder
& let's
CREATE

through
how we act

From Dr. Liberman:

"Seeing Holographically

Suppose for a moment that you don’t see with your physical eyes — that you have no single “point of view,” but can see clearly from all places at once. While meditating twenty-five years ago, I actually slipped into this indescribable state — and experienced a miraculous change in my vision.

Although my eyes were closed, I could “see” myself sitting there in meditation — only I couldn’t tell where I was seeing myself from. It was as if the room was filled with eyes, and I was looking through all of them.

When I finally opened my eyes, my vision had undergone a profound change — from barely being able to see the eye chart, to seeing better than normal — and it has remained so to this day. Since I was a practicing optometrist at the time this shift occurred, it forced me to reconsider everything I had ever been taught about vision.

I realized that it is our insight, and not our eyesight, that must be healed if we wish to see clearly — and that only by seeing beyond our beliefs can we truly see clearly.

~ ~ ~

When the "I" stops looking,
the eyes start seeing."

Here's the scoop on how to travel to Schwartz Living Market this coming Sunday, May 4, 2014, for the amazing, not to be missed workshop, Stop Looking, Start Seeing from 10 AM to 6 PM, with visionary Dr. Jacob Liberman, of Maui, Hawaii, and Dr. Elisa Haransky-Beck, of Pittsburgh, PA!
