Carolina

Carolina Kusumita Fossum grew up in Guatemala City and  studied and lived in California for 5 years. She has been living in Norway since 1983. She started and ran two healthfood shops, a vegetarian café and a vegetarian restaurant in Oslo.  In 1991 she decided to focuss her energy in teaching to both children and adults. She founded the first vegetarian kindergarten in Oslo, “Neo-humanist kindergarten”.

Carolina  is actively involved as a volunteer  in the development of both Neo-humanist education and vegetarian nutritional programs  for AMURT, a  global  NGO which supports both relief and developmental projects in undeveloped countries around the world.

She has been a vegetarian for 25 years. She has two sons who have been raised as vegetarians since birth.  Carolina practices yoga and meditation. She loves nature and is an environmentalist.   

Carolina is educated as an alternative pedagogue and has been teaching vegetarian cooking classes since 1982 both in California and in Norway. Her Guatemalan background ( Maya-Spanish culture) makes her cooking course very international and exotic.  She has a broad experience in health, nutrition, health food and supplements. This makes her cooking course informative and interesting. Her food and receipts are tasty, nutritional and easy to make.

 For the last 20 years Carolina has focussed in educating children and inspiring hundreds of people to improve the quality of their life through a positive way of eating and living. The main inspiration source behind her cooking classes are the teachings of Prabhat R. Sarkar, who emphasized to the world the importance of self development and service to others.

She  gets also  her inspiration from her idealistic desire of  sharing with others, the sentient and healthy life style which has benefited her and her children very much. For her it is important that people become aware of the importance of eating Sentient (positive) food, thinking  positive and living in a more natural and healthy way.

 Her cooking classes have inspired many to stay healthy, full of energy and remain young as long as possible.
