On Saturday, May 9th, Kris Carr will be hosting a detox and cleansing workshop at Donna Karan’s Urban Zen Foundation and we want to see YOU there!

The workshop is scheduled to feature Michael Perrine who will give an in-depth look at detox and cleansing, followed by Donna Perrone who’ll share her hydrotherapy expertise. Denise Mari from Organic Avenue will also be on site to talk about her LOVE fast. Bow-chicka-bow-wow!

At the end of day, you’ll have a chance to ask Kris, Donna, Michael, and Denise your burning questions during the Q & A panel.

Tickets are only $50 for the 4 hour workshop and are available at UrbanZen.org! Of course we’ll be on site to partake in all the cleaning goodness. See you there!

Kris Carr is the coolest. And by coolest, I mean COOLEST!!!

Carr is the founder of CrazySexyLife.com and is hell of an eco activist! 

In the article: ”5 THINGS WE LEARNED AT DONNA KARAN’S URBAN ZEN SYMPOSIUM,” W Magazine suggests that EVERYONE hear Kris’ important message. They say:  

“The dynamic and funny filmmaker held the audience in thrall, even as she told the kind of story we’ve all heard before. On Valentine’s Day 2003, Carr, then 31, was diagnosed with stage IV liver cancer. Instead of taking it lying down, she picked up her camera and started filming a documentary about her ordeal, Crazy Sexy Cancer. Her battle has since spawned two books and a busy speaking schedule. Her story was touching, honest, real, and inspirational, and it was Carr who had the bon mots of the afternoon. Our favorite? “Make juice, not war.” (You can buy a bracelet with the phrase on her website, crazysexycancer.com) And when she revealed she just received her “best scan ever,” the room erupted into applause and tears.”

Proving that she is like the bestest ever, Kris is helping PCRM halt an experiment at North Dakota State University on April 27 where live pigs are scheduled to be used and then killed in a trauma training course. BUT SHE NEEDS YOUR HELP! To find out how a simple click the mouse can help save these precious animals, visit CrazySexyLife.com!

I hate going to the doctor! Luckily, I’m a pretty healthy dude (see also: vegan superhero) and have only been twice in the last 4 years. But still, the thought of sitting on a cold examining table and being not listened to for 3-5 minutes makes me shiver with frustration. Why oh why, I ask, can’t all doctors be like the rockstars at Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine?????!!!!!

You see, last night I had the chance to attend a benefit for PCRM at Peter and Mary Max’s lovely midtown studio and left actually wishing that I hung out with M.D’s more! 

The event was absolutely lovely with Morgan Spurlock, Moby, Dan Piraro, Dreama Walker and many more well-known figures in attendance. Of course we also hung out with some of our favorite regular do-gooders like Chloé Jo Berman, Joshua Katcher, Kris Carr and Victoria Moran. 

And how could we not spend some time with Dr. Neal Barnard – the founder of PCRM who recently sat down with Ecorazzi for an exclusive interview?

While munching on delicious chow from Bonobo’s, 4-Course Vegan and Candle 79, the PCRM crew spoke about their continued progress and optimistic outlook for the future. Does it really get any better than that?
