Mary-Margaret (anand sahaja) Stratton – Education and Health Ministry

Certified Raw Food Nutritionist and Essene Minister, Lay Architect, Designer

Mary-Margaret is a Renaissance woman, Award-Winning Creative Art Director, senior Communications and UX Architect. She has a degree in Marketing from LAVC and a Bachelors in Design from UCLA. Her expertise spans a number of subjects: musical composer, author of numerous diverse books, lay architect, instructional designer, painter, poet, sculptor, producer, and educator.After volunteering to save Mid Century Modern buildings from demolition for twenty years, including the iconic Palm Spring Tramway Gas Station and the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, she developed a keen interest in architectural design (as well as edible-medicinal landscape design). She published tours and created events for Mid-Mod enthusiasts. And she became actively involved in the historic restoration of ten homes. 

anand sahaja loosely translated from Sanskrit means “Spontaneous Bliss!” It’s ironic that she is now a minister who is referred to as ‘sister’ anand. While growing up in Catholic school for twelve years, she was often teased as “sister” mary-margaret! anand later became a Certified Raw Food Nutritionist under the tutelage of David ‘Avocado’ Wolf at the Body Mind Institute. Knowing ministerial credentials help when teach/learning on ‘controversial’ subjects, anand was ordained as an Essene Minister in 2011 by a Bishop of the Essene School founded by Dr. Edmond Bordeaux. She’s currently a minister of the Essene Nazarean Church of Mount Carmel. The Essenes are noted for their commitment to peace and a living biogenic food diet – that works! She is the author of an introductory book on Paganism ~the Good Wiccan series, co-author of Raw Matt’s Dominant Health and developed recipes for the un-cookbook, Eat Like Eve. She is dedicated to sharing information on how nutrition can work miracles in addiction and OCD and expressed these ideas in her books, Kiss Addiction Goodbye and Stop Picking on Me. 

anand has been married for over thirty years. She and her husband write music, make silly movies, dance, travel, teach raw chocolate classes, plant gardens, and are dedicated historic preservationists.

Testimonials

"I still can't believe that I ended up at this amazing place! This is a true WWOOF experience. A meaningful exchange of mutual benefit. Working side by side with Anand and Mason has been inspiring. They have wonderful spirits and have created their own space right in the middle of Las Vegas. An oasis. Their garden is beautiful and their food mind blowing! (I can still taste the ginger kale salad and that creamy berry smoothie!)
“They set an example for others and do this in a very positive way. I truly believe they make a difference in this city of excesses and lost spirits. Their motivation and energy is impressive. Thanks again! And for future WWOOFers, don't be intimidated by the house rules! They are what they are, and stand for the good intentions of these two individuals. Challenge yourself and embrace it. You will get a lot in return.”
Adriaan Bakker, WWOOF-US Guest

"I couldn't have found a better place to stay while I was in Vegas for a month. The hosts were super helpful and friendly! We went to health classes, meetings, and hiking while I was there. If you are health conscious, and sober, this is the perfect place for you to find serenity in a city full of chaos. I made new friends for life and will definitely go back in the future!"
Mary – Ashville NC Airbnb Guest

"I love this home so much. During my stay I observed Shabbat, met a Bikram yogi, got half a dozen great book recommendations, and a couple documentary recommendations too. I was introduced to some great green products and great places to purchase vegan foods."
