This is a fun video from our Rawfoodfamily at the pool.  Don’t know why my wife Katie was even filming this, but as we all chuckled when watching this, we thought we would share it with you.  A harmless little piece of nonsense.

That is Ka Sundance making total fun of himself…

I am an Alcoholic.

I used to drink alcohol on a daily basis, and I used to drink A LOT of it every weekend.  I abused the alcohol up to a point that it was affecting me in a bad way.

The reason why I am sharing all of this so openly is that I want to help people out there to see that they are not alone, and also to show people out there, that something can be done about it.  The good news – actually the VERY good news is – that I am a dry alcoholic.  I am a dry alcoholic …. right now!

I feel that this addiction is something that will be with me for the rest of my life.  So, I am not over the hump and never will be!
If you have been an addict one time in your life, you ALWAYS will be one.  It is good to remind myself of that fact, to stay on the edge.
It has been almost 4 years now since I touched a sip of alcohol, and I have the intention of never, ever drinking again in my whole life.

I am very proud of this fact, and I am very proud of myself.  I do not care so much what you (or everybody for that matter) thinks about it.  I know I can do it, I know I have been doing it right for the last several years, and that makes me feel good.

If I am happy for anybody, then it is first and foremost for my children, and then for Katie.  My kids deserve SO MUCH, to have a father that is present and clear in mind and emotion.  I am very humble and happy that I could be that father for many years in a row.

But who knows what is going to happen?
I don’t know!
All I have is my faith, and my strength to stick to this.
I am strong willed and (thank God) things are getting easier over the years, but I would feel that it is a dangerous statement to make to say:
“I am healed! I am over it!”
I am not. I am an alcoholic and I will stay one for the rest of my life, and it is good to be aware of that fact.
It very much helps me to stay dry.

Doing this video was a strong thing to do for myself, and I hope it does help other souls out there.
I am honest and I am real here, and I hope you can take it.
This is my take on alcohol and booze, and the way I roll with (or actually ”without”) it.

I love you!
A clear and straight Ka Sundance sending you coconut greetings from Costa Rica!

Please be aware that I am only expressing my own opinion here.  I am not claiming to know the truth AT ALL.  Just expressing myself.

This show is intended to be for women.  It is answering a question about relationships:
How to make a man want you.
How does it work?

Well, here I tell you.

This video today is intended for you goddesses out there, giving you some tips.

I am not following old, ancient role models here.  If you are a girl that likes machoism (are there still some of you out there anyway?? I guess there are!!), then this video is not for you.  Even though I am not talking about those old roles, I am still also aware that some patterns do still exist, and that is good.

It is no longer just about sitting at home, taking care of the kids and preparing the food for your god as soon as he comes home from a hard days work, putting his feet under your table.
There is more than this to a relationship.

We COOL men want you to be more than that.
We cool men want to be more than just the provider for the family.
We want to take responibility for the kids, we also want to have some say in the household and to help you.

Things have become more unified.  Deep relationships have intensified, as those old ways of role thinking are disolving.  We can help each other and share more of our lives than our grandparents could when they were young.   So, let’s take on these new opportunities of creating deeper relationships that offer more depth and connection than ever before.

We men are turned on if you women are confident about your beautiful, feminine side.
There is no need to hide that.
Actually the opposite is true!

We love you to be feminine and proud.
We love and honor you women and would like to see confidence in you.

So you ladies out there.  IF you also want to attract a guy that is strong willed and confident about himself, his body, his mistakes and all aspects of his being, this is what you need to cultivate in yourself.
Then you will attract this man into your life as well.

This and so much more is true, and I am talking about it in my newest video here.

Please access it and let me know:
What do you think is needed to make a cool man want you?

Well anyway: It happened!
Over the beautiful Easter weekend, we reached the 1 million mark and I am happy as a humming-bird!
Or happy as a hippo?
I don’t know, my German always gets in the way!

This video here is meant as a “Thank you!”
A humble and grateful sign of appreciation to all of you Life Lovers out there.
Loving Life TV with Ka Sundance would be nothing without you!

Thanks, especially those of you who have been following our adventures from the early days.

It all started on a warm spring day in 2009 in the UK. Then we took you with us to Germany and then our long winter holiday in Thailand, just to make the huge jump over to Costa Rica, where we have been living now for more than 2 years.

Woo-hoo!
What a ride and you have been with us all along the way!

The funny thing is we have the feeling that we are just getting started!
The next exciting goal is to reach 10,000,000 views in a shorter time than it took to make the first million happen.
We know we can do it!

So please help us spread our message of love, health and bliss, by subscribing to our Youtube Channel at

It has been quite a while since we gave you an update on our day-to-day diet that we enjoy as a raw food family with 4 kids.

As we always want to inspire you health conscious families with children to eat more healthy raw food, we want to share with you how we do it.
However, it is important to us that you understand that we are NOT telling you what you should do.

We also are not certified nutritionists.
All we want to do is share how we do it!!

As we have been living a raw food lifestyle as a family for more than 8 years now, you also must understand that our diet will be different from somebody who is just starting with this.

We feel that we have purified our diet again, after being in a tropical climate for 2 1/2 years now. The sun, the fully ripe tropical fruits all year round, the coconuts and the warm south-pacific ocean all year round has really helped to increase our health level to a new all-time-high.

It also has helped to simplify our diet. We sometimes have mono meals even though we still like the raw gourmet kitchen. We have also incorporated some cooked foods like quinoa, brown rice and buckwheat noodles into our diet, but we always have a huge salad and raw sauces/dressing with it.

In case you want to go (high) raw with your kids as well, we highly recommend our book “Raising Raw Children”. We are currently doing the last work to publish the 2nd edition, where we applied a lot of updates and some changes after being on this diet for 3 more years. The first edition of our book was published in autumn 2009, and we are happy to release the new book in early summer 2012.

Stay tuned…..

What the heck is this guy talking about?

Well, I believe that this is one of the mysterious paradoxes in life.  Some things actually DO follow the rule of “the more you spend the more you receive”.  Actually some of them are the most important things in life; love, time and money; just to name some.

Here comes an explanation right from the gut.  Don’t you know the feeling that in order to save time, you start to move faster, step on the gas pedal of your car and get stressed?  Just then you realize that the traffic lamp is turning red right before your eyes, forcing you to stop ….. AGAIN?  You arrive at your destination – and you can take this literally or in a deeper sense – and feel exhausted.  You also feel that you do not have time.  You keep on moving, chasing and running to meet the next deadline.

On the other hand, you also might know this scenario.  It is Sunday morning during your holiday and you have planned NOTHING for the whole day.  Yes, you read that right: NOTHING is on the schedule.  (Well if this doesn’t sound familiar up until now, then you MUST try this!)  You have the whole day to spend, to WASTE and what happens?  You feel relaxed, you start to see things that bring you joy that you normally do NOT see.  You also go through your day without making the mistakes you normally make when you run around like a headless chicken.  You enjoy the ride and you get aligned and creative through relaxation.

Sounds good, huh?  Well living in Costa Rica myself and having a pura vida lifestyle, surrounded by easy-going locals who value a good siesta, I can only tell you: TRY THIS!!

The same principles do apply to love.  You must spend it, share it, give it with an open heart and not ask for anything in return.  The more you give, the more you can receive.

If this all still does not make sense, then please watch this video here, because I share how I take my daughter with my 2 sons to the big waterfalls – for the first time in her life!  It meant so much to her and I had to move slow in order to make this possible for her.

Am I still making no sense…?
Just hit the play button!!

But please: Take your time!

He eats mostly fruit, and massive amounts of it. I saw him eating 30 bananas a day!

We as The Rawfoodfamily and I as Ka Sundance, do NOT eat this way, but also recognize that the movement is growing and growing, so I feel that I just need to ask somebody who does it successfully and therefore knows more about it. Chris is also an athlete and is real fit, so I feel that he is a good spokesman for this lifestyle. It works for him, and it has worked well for many years.

So in this interview, I try to make him tell us some of his secrets about the 80-10-10 diet and how he can eat kilos of fruits each day (and how he feels satisfied). Even more so I want to know some secrets to help you guys learn about a high fruit-based diet and how you can make this work for you (if you feel that this makes sense)

So lean back, enjoy and learn some tricks and tools to lose some weight, while eating as much as you want. Become more healthy – the natural way, with the raw food diet!

Pura vida – Ka

Well this video is about to give you testimonial to this statement. We are trying to do a promotional video for our fans and clients, giving them 5 free recipe videos. As it turns out, Joa (our youngest one) always has something different in mind, and even Katie, my wife, does not always have a clear view of what is actually going on.

Darn!

Maybe it has to do with the fact, that even I do not know which video we are recording…? LOL

You can get those 5 free raw recipe videos now at http://welcome.therawfoodfamily.com/

We also included some bloopers from a video we have been shooting for our 70 best raw food recipes Ebook. We are trying to show how difficult it is as health-conscious parents to offer your kids some plain, simple raw food. However, my kids are truly delighted by a simple raw food platter. So it was quite difficult to pretend to be disgusted by this beautiful food I was providing on a plate… If you are interested in getting our 70 Best Raw Food Recipes of The Rawfoodfamily, you can easily download them at http://70bestrawfoodrecipes.com/

Well, best you have a look at this one yourself. Lean back, turn on full-screen mode and enjoy this funny video of The Rawfoodfamily raising raw food kids.

This conversation made me really think about myself and the way I deal with negativity and dark aspects of myself in general.

But as I am faaaar away from being an “at-peace”, enlightened person, what does happen to my dark sides, when I am trying to avoid them, only focusing on the good stuff?

I figured today, that if they are still there somehow, the best thing to do is actually NOT to avoid them.

Trying to pretend that they are not there is just simply not the truth and not helping at all to become at-peace, is it?

So now I am stuck in between my zen-self wanting to be at loving peace, and my holistic self that has to integrate those negative parts as well….

Huhmmm.
That’s a tricky one.
How can one be honest about those dark spots, yet still focus on the positive aspects of life?

After some good thought, I feel that the charge and energy comes in by judging.
If I get attached to any of this, and start to judge and take sides, developing a strong opinion, THIS is when it actually can create problems.
In other words:
It is not the negative parts of myself that are causing problems, it is more me making a big thing out of them that does.

So if I follow this thought:
I am working to get to know me better.  Working on getting to know my dark side, so I can let go of any resistance and attachment to “what I have to be” (and “what I sure have NOT to be!)

This way, I can get soft and embrace it all, so I can evolve without delay.

Think I got it. For the moment. What about you?
Does this make sense?

As I am working with this thought right now, I am happy to receive any comments from you guys, to take these ideas here to the next level!

I love you!
Ka Sundance

Today I am speaking to you, my brother!  In this video I will show you, how to make a woman want you.  Of course, the success depends on being crystal clear about WHAT woman you want to attract!  If you are anything like me, then you want a confident and strong partner you can learn from and meet eye-to-eye and not a weak partner that automatically repeats “YES, honey!” to each and everything you say.

If you are interested in a goddess that will love and challenge you, this video is for you!  I am covering some important learn-fields you have to explore in order to make a women want you.  Times have been changing, and the old patterns of ancient macho-ism are no longer valid. Even though all women want a strong man at their side, a strong shoulder they can lean their head against (and this is also what we love to provide for them, don’t we??) – nowadays the goddesses want more!  We want more!

In addition to being a strong guy, we also need to explore our intuitive side.  We need to express our emotions and be brave at this end.  Women want that!  This is what turns them on!  If you can be a strong guy that is also able to be empathic, sharing and not afraid to show emotions, boy let me tell you: The ladies will want you!  This is the combination that will show you how to make a woman want you.  And even better: This will – in my belief- also help US men to want ourselves!  This will help us to heal, to complete ourselves after those centuries of trying to play a role of being this cold-hearted macho, that was never allowed to show the slightest sign of weakness.  Honestly guys: Show me the man that can maintain this illusion of being strong his whole life – with out a break- and I will show you a cow that flies.  This is a dangerous picture our fathers have been passing on from their fathers.  A dangerous picture that has caused a tremendous amount of suffering for all our brothers out there.

But NO MORE my dear friends!

We can let this go!  If you want to know how to make a woman love you, I can assure you:  You do not have to be that guy anymore!
You are so welcome to become you!  You are welcome to be weak as well as strong!  You are welcome to be logical and clear as well as emotional and intuitive.

Women want that! They embrace you and love you for being more real!

Sighhh…! What a relief, isn’t it?

You do not have to be that inapproachable, inaccessible man anymore that almost breaks down trying to be that guy.  Your woman wants you without you trying to be that.

For more insights on how to make a woman want you, please watch this video my dear brother!

Lots of love and support, Your Ka Sundance
