Recent Events at Creacon...
Cooking Class at Creacon with Chef Gaetano!
Creacon's inaugural cooking class hosted by Master Chef Gaetano Pernagallo held this past August was spectacular! All participants enjoyed their time with Gaetano and learned about kitchen health and safety, what knives to use and when, how to prepare food properly as well as how to create fabulous sauces, appetizers, entrees, and desserts.
Their week culminated in a cook-off where two teams cooked for each other and the other Creacon guests and staff had the opportunity to taste their results. Mmmmmm!
NEXT CLASS! - If you are interested in attending Gaetano's next cooking class, one is planned for November 2nd - 7th 2009. Learn how to create a fabulous ThanksGiving dinner!
Email CreaconPremaAgni@yahoo.com
Here's what some attendees shared with us;
"Since I got back I have been cooking Gaetano's recipes to rave reviews.
: ) Prior to taking his class I was a bit intimidated in the kitchen, and now I have found a newfound confidence with a life skill that is allowing me to serve others in yet another way. Not only that, in a gourmet way!"
"My weeklong experience at the Creacon cooking class with chef Gaetano was one of the most enjoyable times I have spent in a kitchen.
He was able to bring laughter and fun into our cooking experience.
Gaetano taught me so many useful skills that I can use at home to
prepare really fast and delicious meals. I hope he will have many more
classes in the near future!"
Yoga and More Truth Will Set You Free Retreat!
Guests and facilitators had a powerful and transforming experience through the retreat this past August!
Don't hesitate
another minute to facilitate your next Workshop/Reatreat at Creacon
PremaAgni Healing Center! Sherri and I cannot wait to return next year
again for another YOGA and MORE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE Retreat. The
energy, service, and natural environment at Creacon was incredibly
supportive for everyone as they went through their healing
journey during the week. I could not think of a more
powerful, positive, place on earth to retreat to as a Teacher/Student who is serious about taking the next step on their path.
Jodie and Sherri
"The Yoga classes with Jodi were so beautiful, informative, powerful,
grounding, and healing just to make note of some of it. And the
More Truth facilitated by Sheri just continued on with grace of
unfoldment within ourselves and the teachings. We all felt a Sacred
Space to just Be, Let go, and Let God..."
"Words cannot express what an incredible and life-changing experience
this was for me. I am so
grateful to have had this opportunity and experience with Jodie and
Sherri, and I know that I will be returning to many more of their
wonderful workshops! Thanks Jodie and Sherri!!

Nourish Your Soul
Our Gardens to our Kitchen...
With each newsletter, we include our 'Nourish Your Soul' section as a way to share wonderful insights from the fruits, vegetables, and herbs of the gardens.
From Lavender and Rosemary to many varieties of Luscious Lettuce, Beans, Beets, and so much more, we have tilled, planted, and share a wondrous collection of Vegetables, Herbs and Fruits grown right here in our very own gardens at Creacon. We've included some recent photos of our crop. Enjoy!
Recipe from our Chef!
Those who have visited have experienced the amazing and delectable creations by Creacon's superior Chef, Gaetano Pernagallo. Such great care and attention is provided with each meal. We know you'll enjoy this tasty delight!
Serves about 8
1 pound dry lasagne noodles
2-3 cups of tomato sauce
2 small or one large zucchini, grated
½-1 pound ricotta cheese
3 large bunches spinach, washed and stemmed
1 pound mozzarella cheese, grated or thinly sliced
½ pound provolone, grated or thinly sliced (optional)
Method:
Bring the tomato sauce to a boil, stir in the zucchini, and cook for about 5 minutes.
Ladle a bit of sauce into the baking dish and spread it around so that the bottom of the dish is lightly coated.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place cooked lasagne noodles in the pan to form a single layer. If necessary, break noodles to fill gaps.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta cheese on the noodles, then lay out 1/3 of the spinach on top of that. Sprinkle or place 1/3 of the cheese, then cover with tomato sauce.
Repeat 3 times, using 1/3 of ingredients for each layer, saving a sprinkle of cheese to garnish the top.
Bake for about 1 hour, until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted. Let cool slightly.
Sprinkle with Love and serve. Enjoy!

 Gardens Abound!Creacon has birthed numerous new gardens.
Drop in this Autumn and enjoy their splendor for yourself!
Our guests
have helped create a new garden stroll near our vegetable garden which
flows under our Pagoda-arbor. The back swings have nested nicely among
wood chips and have invited some new bushes
and flowers beside them.
Most impressively, after weeks of seva, spreading soil, carving out the
side steps, lovingly nestling plants and bushes throughout, and
mulching around her, Creacon's two step pyramid garden is almost
complete!
With only the gravel walking path to go, this large garden
outside our Meditation Hall, truly adds to the abundance to Creacon.
Thanks for all of your help creating these collections of Mother Nature!
What's nearby? Did you love to horse ride when you were
younger? Have you always wanted to horse ride but never had the

Court Stables which features numerous horses for any skill of rider.
