CultureHaus, a social and educational support group of the Denver Art Museum connecting the young at heart with art, has joined forces with Slow Food Denver to host “Heir to the Grown: A Fête for the Urban Locavore” on Wednesday, July 22 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Charpiot Building (1240 31st Street, Denver).

“Join us for one slow summer evening to celebrate the beauty of local food and art,” commented Anne Donley, one of the event organizers. “Proceeds from this event will support CultureHaus and Slow Food Denver’s educational programs.”

Heir to the Grown will feature Colorado wine and spirits and local fare presented by Barolo Grill Executive Chef, Brian Laird. Guests can enjoy the “GreenHaus” signature drink and have an opportunity to bid on artful containers submitted by local artists and designers showcasing edibles, plants and flowers.

“We’re thrilled to have famed chef Brian Laird prepare the food for this event in an effort to raise awareness of the local food movement,” commented Lee Stiffler-Meyer, event organizer from Slow Food Denver. “Laird has been a tremendous supporter of the local Slow Food movement, even volunteering his time in one of Slow Food Denver’s school garden projects.”

In 2006, Laird had the honor of being one of 1,000 chef delegates at the prestigious Terra Madre event hosted by Slow Food International in Italy. He will source produce, meat, and eggs from local farms for this event.

Tickets are $45 per person. For two people, tickets are $60 for CultureHaus or Slow Food members or $75 for non-members. Tickets can be purchased at www.blacktie-colorado.com.

“Locavore” was coined by Chef Jessica Prentice on World Environment Day 2005 to describe the practice of eating food harvested within a 100-mile radius. Visit www.locavores.com.

The Slow Food movement was founded by Carlo Petrini in Italy to combat fast food. Now expanding globally to 122 countries, Slow Food promotes the importance of “buying local” and preserving cultural cuisine.

Radio Show Host Amy Rubin announced the unveiling of Soul’s Journey Magazine; Rubin was selected to appear on the publication’s July issue.

“I am thrilled to be a part of this new publication and contribute an article on my favorite topic—love,” stated Rubin, who is nicknamed the “Resident Love Doctor” on the magazine cover.

Rubin founded Hearts Desire, an online boutique and community for women. The Hearts Desire marketplace offers chic, yet sassy clothing to opulent jewelry to fragrances. Through Hearts Desire, Rubin has created an online community in which women can unite, share experiences, and learn how to create happiness in their lives. Informative readings on the website offer guidance on finding happiness and having all that one desires. Women can rediscover themselves and be motivated to pursue their dreams through sharing their own inspirational stories on the site.

Because of the notoriety gained from Hearts Desire, Rubin was asked to host a weekly radio show on Soul’s Journey Radio, an online spiritual radio station. The show, entitled “Amy’s Heart,” focuses on all things love—advice, inspiration, intuition, and more. Callers each week are counseled by Rubin, as she guides them in repairing damaged relationships, finding the one, becoming empowered, and letting go of the past. Soul’s Journey produced a magazine, and Rubin was selected for the July cover of this publication.

“Through Amy’s Heart, I have been able to follow my passion of helping others looking for love,” remarked Rubin.

A woman who speaks from the heart, Rubin has always had a flair for empowering other women. Through her studies and her own personal experiences, she has perfected her skills in teaching women how to be beautiful on the inside and out. She wished to take this knowledge to another level, sharing it with the women of the world.
A quote from her article in the magazine reads, “Allow yourself to dig deep inside your boisterous heart to figure out what really inspires you to reach for greatness. Enjoy the sweetness of this moment in time and be willing to free yourself of the past.”

Listen to Rubin each Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on www.soulsjourneyradio.com. For more information on Hearts Desire, visit www.FindingYourHeartsDesire.com.
