If you haven’t participated in an OE comp before, don’t be intimidated. We welcome everyone to come and try their calloused hands at the workout; the laughter, sweat and post-training feast leaves us all feeling like we’ve won, even if our achievements extend only to demolishing two pieces of organic cacao cake. As always, it’s an amazing way to implement what has been taught and learned in the OE classes, and gives tangible evidence of all your efforts.

Workouts will be announced next Sunday the 6th May and will consist of 3 x 8min workouts. The first 2 workouts will be completed in the usual 7, 8 & 915am class training times

OE CLEANSE WORKSHOP: Saturday the 5th of May

Azza — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:37:21 +0000

There is extra incentive to keep that spring in your step as we indulge in a little too much cacao, grains and egg-shaped goodies in our last burst of summer holiday loving.

Never fear! As always we have your back on all things wellness, and are offering the next instalment in our OE Cleanse Workshop series. Cocoa crazies begone!

We invite you to come along and learn how to detox the Origin way. The best part? It’s a simple, achievable protocol that we jump into together; complete with cleanse camaraderie and a cafe offering approved foods for your feasting convenience!

Cleanse Begins: The gym kitchen will follow along from Monday 14th May, with phase one and two foods to take the stress out of pre and post-workout chowing.

At $100 for a full day of learning, question-fielding, take-home information packs and a delicious spread, it’s definitely a superior way to flush out your guts! Better value than a colonic! And slightly more pleasurable (depending who you ask).

Sorry for the workout delay!

Azza — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 07:35:50 +0000

Workouts did not get posted on sunday this week as I was in Mudgee at the Milkwood Farm doing a Market Garden Course. Limited internet. Amazing to see what Nick and Kristen have done in 5 yrs. Its really possible to create a sustainable living ecosystem. So far out of all the farms i have visited this has been the best kept: Modern and Clean with attention to detail that is usually lacking with most farms. Definitely what is needed to inspire more people to become part of the permaculture movement.

Below are photos of a rocket stove very effective way of heating water, the class and the before and after shot of 3hrs work from 3 students
