Veet - Veet’s Cuisine



Hi to everyone at Byron and Beyond Networking,

As I write I am sitting in a very comfy room in the Indian Himalayas.  I have come here partly for my annual holiday and mostly to write my second vegetarian cookbook. 


Being in India makes me very much appreciate the incredible local produce we have at home in the Byron Bay shire and I am absolutely grateful for  the quality of produce available for me to use in my business.  If it were not for the quality of produce I can source in the Byron shire, I do not think my catering business would have grown to where it is today.  Not only is the produce of an exceptionally high standard, organic and pesticide free but also available to me at four markets a week, ensuring that whenever I am catering for an event, retreat, wedding or workshop, I can use the freshest of ingredients.

As much as I am enjoying being in the Himalayas right now and appreciate how much work I am getting done towards my next cook book (which is to be published next year),  I am very much looking forward to my return to the  Byron shire to start cooking again.  I hope to see you at one of the networking breakfasts in August or September.

Julia Kalytis - Shiatsu Essentials

Hello everyone, 
Hope you are well and that life is being good to you. This is a quick email just to let you know a couple of things that are happening at the clinic and beyond...


1. Firstly, the website is up and running. Have a look at www.womanofspirit.com and see what you think. Still some tweaking to be done with pics and navigation pathways, but it is basically there now at least. We will add some extra components in January. 

2. You will find the workshop schedule on the site, but the next workshops are in Sydney on 21st July (Love Your Liver half-day workshop) and Know Your Energy (full day workshop and CPE points for therapists who attend) on Sunday 22nd July. They will be held at 54 McLean St Ingleside on the northern beaches. Contact myself or Desiree Simmonds in Sydney on 0412 721 773 or info@truepotential.com.au. Many of you will have met Des as she comes up north often to run the Know Your Energy workshop with me. 

3. The Live Your Dreams 'The Classic' Italy tour begins in Rome on Sept 19th. Have a look on the website at the itinerary and pics. And dream! We always have a wonderful time, so relaxing and stimulating at the same time, and we eat and drink wonderfully well. Good company, great friends, gorgeous countryside, and the must-see cities of Rome, Florence and Venice. Only 8 guests maximum and everything is organized for you - you just have to slip into a place. There are a couple of spots still available for September if you are interested.

4. Coming up soon is the Buddhist retreat with our dear friend Venerable Lobsang Tendar. It goes from Wed 1st August to Sun 5th and is a Vajrasattva retreat that focuses on purifying the negative thoughts and habits that burden our minds, emotions and physical bodies. Have a look on www.tendar.net where you can download a registration form. It will be held at Tallows Beach, near Byron Bay. Don't be shy if you are not a practising Buddhist. It is enough that you are interested enough to want to explore it.


Lots of blessings and especially good health. Julia x
