Our certificates are a proof of completion of each individual training. We offer certain trainings in modules or levels, which is reflected in the certificates. There is no world standard certification in the raw vegan culinary world at the moment, not like the Yoga Alliance.

However our certificates describe the content of the training in detail and are recognised within the raw vegan culinary world. Our foundational Raw Chef Training level 1 certificate proves the achievement of a basic raw kitchen skill set and plant-based nutrition knowledge.

Our certificate is very useful and well recognised in the raw food field, but in Indonesia restaurants very rarely hire foreigners as the immigration rules are very strict and local salaries are lower than foreigners expect. Even volunteering and internships are restricted by the strict immigration policies. In exceptional cases, our café will consider long-term internships (6+ months) but the intern will need to cover all travel, accommodation and living expenses including the “kitas”/work permit costs.

It takes a lot of courage, sweat and tears to cook professionally! Our trainings are a stepping stone into the vegan culinary world and then you will need to practice, practice, practice. Gain experience by volunteering or interning in cafés and restaurants or by assisting experienced teachers in cooking classes and culinary trainings. This will give you opportunities and contacts for your future career.

Please speak to us directly or email education@sayurihealingfood.com and we will put you in touch with any open opportunities we know of. All training alumni are invited to join our Raw Chef Collective Facebook group where we post job opportunities from our friends and network.

This is a very individual question! If you have courage, passion and confidence, yes, please go ahead and share your gifts with the world! It is all about sharing and spreading the love! Our trainings will definitely help increase your passion and confidence!

Sayuri is co-founder of The Seeds Of Life and co-creator of the original Seeds Of Life Raw Chef Training. She is, however not involved with The Seeds of Life project anymore and the trainings have developed since then. Sayuri likes to integrate Eastern philosophies such as Ayurveda and Chinese Tonic Herbalism into her teachings and focuses on World Cuisine recipes and the energetic aspects of food and eating.

Our raw chef trainings are more condensed, we share a similar curriculum in 2 weeks instead of four. We focus on world cuisine recipes, Eastern nutrition philosophies and we offer lectures on holistic, plant-based nutrition, Ayurveda, Chinese Tonic Herbs and Indonesian Jamu. We like to work in groups and inspire creativity and new connections. Our lead instructor, Ella, was an instructor for Matthew Kenney for many years and will happily answer any further questions about the trainings. Don’t hesitate to email her at education@sayurihealingfood.com.

Trust your instincts! You will naturally be drawn towards the training that will benefit you at this particular time in your life. Don’t overthink things :)

Many of us have taken several trainings, just like many yoga teachers have taken different yoga teacher trainings. Elaina Love’s course is more about the cleansing raw life-style , less nuts, low glycemic index. PlantLab’s courses are more technical, more about individual plating & presentation, less nutrition (separate culinary nutrition course), less Eastern holistic perspective.

At Sayuri Healing Food we share our life-style, philosophy, and the most delicious recipes, accessible to everyone.

The 4-day Intensive is a demo-style class in a fun group of 10-20 like-minded people in which we share the basic foundations, techniques and recipes of our raw food lifestyle. In 8 x 2-hour classes we touch on raw kitchen equipment, ingredients, fermentation, dehydration, flavour balancing, raw chocolate… and many desserts!

The 2-week Raw Chef Training is a deep-dive into experiencing the raw vegan lifestyle and learning the practical skills and techniques in groups of 4 at your own equipped workstations. Students also hear talks on Western and Eastern nutrition and philosophy, and we go on field trips.

Both are truly life-changing, they simply depend on the time- and financial investment you are wanting to make at this time in your life

We are very confident that all our trainings will provide great value, even for long-time raw food lifestyle practitioners and experienced chefs.

All our level 1 courses are equally suitable for both. We very often have an inspiring mix of health professionals who are new to the culinary world and seasoned chefs who are new to the world of healthy, raw vegan food. We all learn from each other!

Raw Food kitchens are very different from commercial kitchens, not only with regards to the techniques and equipment, but also to philosophy and kitchen culture. If you are a beginner, we will explain raw vegan basics from the beginning. If you are a pro, you will take many new ideas, techniques, and a whole new worldview back home, promised!

Unless stated in the course description, none of our classes or trainings require prior knowledge or experience in raw vegan food.

First of all, we recommend you try eating a high-raw food diet for at least a little while before joining our trainings. Even if it is just adding more smoothies and big salads to your usual diet. It will make it easier to dive straight into our Ubud lifestyle! Personal experience is so valuable!

If you already have a favourite knife, we definitely recommend bringing it. It is much more fun working with good equipment you are familiar with. We have enough knives for you to borrow if you do not have one though, no worries.

We like Global, Wüsthof, Shun, and Victorinox. We would recommend a 18-21 cm blade + a smaller pairing knife. Try them out in a shop first and buy something that feels right for your hand. Sayuri likes an 18 cm blade.

良くある質問Q&A

語学レベルは問いませんが、クラスは全て英語となります。実習がたくさんあるので、語学無しでも学んでいただけることはたくさんありますし、あまり英語の話せない日本人の方も以前参加されていますが、講義のクラスや、コミュニケーションにはある程度話せたほうが役に立つとは思います。

私の本とかぶることもありますが、同時に本のメニュー以外の実技もたくさんありますよ。また、バリで経験するものと、本で見て作ることとは全く違う経験ではあります。また、素材、環境、共に作る人などによってその経験も全くかわってきます。出来上がったものの批評、その修正の仕方、誰かと一緒につくることのチャレンジ、応用方法、量の調整、プレゼンテーション、多くの量を作る時のヒントと、味の調整、ローキッチンでの一連の流れ、失敗してしまった時の対処法、などなど、ワークショップでは教えきれないことがたくさん詰まったトレーニングです。

私から出せる“初·中級２週間ローフードシェフ·トレーニング修了証”は、HPに記載の通り、トレーニング·プログラムを終了したことの修了証明書であり、国家資格の証明書でない為、免許状ではありません。免許ではありませんが、一定の技術と知識の修学の証となります。専門職へ就く際、必要であれば、推薦状をお出し致します。

初心者の方でもご参加いただけます。参加に条件は無いです。目的は皆さんそれぞれ違います。あなたのレベルであなたの必要にあった経験を積むための、トレーニングという名の人生の成長であると思っています。もちろん技術として学ぶことはたくさんありますがそれ以上に、人との出会い、新しい文化とのふれあい、食を通して５感をフル活用させ、たくさん感じて、想って、体験する、貴重な２週間です。自己を信じるパワーと勇気とエネルギーを見いだし、自然と他と自己との調和とつながりを養い、共に成長するための、”人生の経験“の一部になればと思っております。

参加される方のレベルは様々です。初心者の方もいらっしゃいます。

基本的に、クラス間は、ベビーシッターにお子様の面倒を見てもらうことをおすすめします。他の生徒さんのご迷惑にならない限り、お子様抱いて授業に参加していただいても私のほうは全く構わないですが、泣いたりする場合は、クラスの外に出ていただくことになります。

ベビーシッターの手配：

以下のベビーシッターの方に直接連絡取っていただくか、必要であればこちらで、最初のオープニングの時に来てもらうように手配いたします。その場合は、その時に会っていただき、時間や料金を直接話していただくことになります。

お値段の相場は1時間700～1000円です。

１日個人負担の夕食の日がありますのでその分と、帰りの空港までのタクシー代くらいです。宿泊費は、その滞在先にもよりますが、１泊３千円で宿泊可能です。

ヨガリトリートは、ヨガがメインです。お料理教室はデモンストレーションスタイルが１クラス、一緒に作るのが１クラスあります。午後のクラスは基本的にヨガのクラスです。トレーニングは実習、講義が毎日あります。
