3RD ANNUAL PROF. ARNOLD EHRET DAY CELEBRATION WEB-A-THON w/PROF. SPIRA & BROTHER AIR
Live May 15, 2021 at 8pmEDT
HELP US HONOR THE HEALING LUMINARY PROF. ARNOLD EHRET
On July 28-29, 2018, Prof. Spira & Brother Air of Mucus-free Life LLC brought together over 40 people to celebrate the legacy of Prof. Arnold Ehret (born c. July 25, 1866) and his Mucusless Diet Healing System. The event took place in Prof. Spira's backyard and featured 5 speakers, two musical acts, a food-prep demonstration, a community juice party, and much more! A number of participants left inspired saying that the experience CHANGED THEIR LIVES!
Then, on July 27-28, 2019, we came together with almost 60 people at the Whetstone Park of Roses for an epic event. But, the 2019 Ehret Day would not have happened without the help of supporters from our GoFundMe Campaign.
Check out the trailer with footage from the first event:
THIS YEAR WE ASPIRE TO MAKE THE CELEBRATION BIGGER AND BETTER
We had huge plans for 2020, but they were thwarted due to the “you know what.” So now, we want to make the 2021 Ehret Day Celebration bigger and better than the previous two years! In 2018, Prof. Spira personally funded the event himself. Then, in 2019 we raised over $12,000 to make the monumental event happen. WE NEED YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT to take it to the next level!
Great New Location
This year we will have the event at the beautiful Antrim Park Shelterhouse in Columbus, Ohio, USA on Saturday, and the Whetstone Park of Roses on Sunday.
World Class Speakers
In 2018, all of the speakers and performers lived within 100 miles of the event location. In 2019 year, in addition to Prof. Spira, Brother Air, and Tekoa, we flew in two remarkable mucus-free speakers. We were able to cover their travel expenses, lodging, etc., with the money that we raised.
World-Class Art & Music
We plan to have a roster of world-class musicians, dancers, and artists participate in this event. It is important to us to be able to properly compensate these artists for their time and expertise.
LOCATION: Antrim Park Shelter House and Whetstone Park of Roses Outdoor Shelterhouse
Nestled in a cove of Walnut trees, Antrim gives you a secluded, wooded feel without leaving the city. With expansive green space and a playground, this is the ideal venue for all ages.
Antrim Park

Columbus, OH 43085
Whetstone Park
3901 N. High St.
Columbus, Ohio
The Whetstone Park of Roses is a beautiful park with a gorgeous rose garden and surrounding woods for exploring.
PROJECTED SPEAKERS
We have several world-class speakers that we hope to confirm for our event. Although some of the speakers live within 100 miles of the event location, several speakers we'd like to bring in are as much as 2,360 miles away (3,798 km), and outside of the United States!
One very special speaker has confirmed and will present live.
PROF. SPIRA, PHD
Prof. Spira is an author, jazz trombonist, ethnomusicologist, founder of Mucus-free Life LLC, and one of the most sought-after experts on Arnold Ehret's Mucusless Diet Healing System in the world. He has worked tirelessly to revive the works of Arnold Ehret and has helped thousands of people learn how to transition toward a mucus-free lifestyle.
TEKOA TAFARI
Tekoa Tafari is a long-term practitioner of Prof. Arnold Ehret's Mucusless Diet Healing System. She has practiced the Mucusless Diet for over 45 years, and has raised children on the Mucus-free Lifestyle. She is one of the foremost experts on "Mucus-free Motherhood" as well as the mucus-free female body.
SPECIAL GUEST: DR. ROBERT MORSE, ND
Dr. Morse is a pioneer in the field of Natural Health, sharing with you over 45 years of knowledge and experience. He is one of the world’s greatest healers and has helped hundreds of thousands of people heal and regenerate their bodies from “incurability.” Dr. Morse will be joining us remotely via video conference to help us celebrate the legacy of Prof. Arnold Ehret.
BROTHER AIR (AKA WILLIE SMART JR.) - MASTER OF CEREMONY
Brother Air (aka Willie Smart Jr.) is a professional jazz drummer, percussionist, long-term Mucusless Diet Healing System practitioner, fasting expert, and visionary. As an educator, he has personally taught hundreds how to practice the Mucusless Diet, and his innovations and advocacy has inspired hundreds of thousands to consider traveling down the mucus-free path.
MUSIC & ART
We have some great musicians, dancers, and artists that we would like to perform at the event.
PROF. SPIRA & BROTHER AIR: FIRE MUSIC PROJECT
Prof. Spira & Brother Air: Fire Music Project is known for their intense free improvisational music-making, creative arrangements of jazz standards, funk-infused groove-oriented pieces, unique “jazz” treatments of pop tunes, as well as original compositions. The collective specializes in captivating audiences with their palpable creativity, superb musicianship, intense groove, and fascinating instrumentation.
Fire Music Project is dedicated to honoring the legacy of the creative giants that precede them while pushing the music forward. In an era when many "jazz" groups play it safe and gentle, the Fire Music Project seeks to infuse the fire, spirit, excitement, power, and passion of the ancestors into each performance.

THE BUDGET
As we started to put together the budget for this year's event, we soon realized that we would need help to pull off our vision. Prof. Spira funded most of last year's event himself. But, with the new location, out-of-town speakers, improved meals, more music & art, etc., expenses for the 2021 event soon started to add up.
We would also really like to properly document the event, which can get expensive. Last year, volunteers helped photograph and videotape the event, but we'd love to have professionals help this year.
Here is an overview of the budget:
Venue (location rental, permit, & AV Staff) = $1,400
Food / Beverage (Includes food for the day and an evening meal) = $2000
Event Programming (Speakers, performers, video/audio production, graphics, etc.) = $3000
Travel (Speakers & Special Guests) = $3,200
Attendee / Guest Services (Transportation, lodging, swag bags) = $225
Registration (signage, ID Production) = $125
Communications (Event packet production, flyers, etc.) = $270
Public Relations (Announcements, graphics, press releases, marketing, postage, etc.) = $1,005
Advertising (Print, radio, outdoor, etc.) = $480
Sponsors & Volunteers (complimentary passes) = $1,650
Décor (Stage lighting, decorations, signage) $500
Event Documentation (Professional photographer, videographer, audio engineer) = $3,510
Stage equipment (PA system, microphones, etc.) = Most of the needed equipment will be donated.
TOTAL PROJECTED BUDGET = $17,515
TICKET SALES
You may ask, won't ticket sales pay for the event? Ticket sales will defray the costs a bit, but we would like to be able to make the ticket prices as reasonable as possible so more people can come. And it is impossible to predict how many people will purchase a ticket. Without funding for proper advertising, we may only get a handful of people. Thus, we need money just to get enough people to break even.
Here is how much tickets would need to cost to break even with our current budget:
40 attendees = $438 per ticket
50 attendees = $350 per ticket
60 attendees = $292 per ticket
100 attendees = $175.15 per ticket
(We have a limited number of 86 tickets available!)
Without money to advertise properly, attendance numbers could be much lower than 40. And, yes we could nickle & dime the program to make it cheap.
But, our vision is to put on a world-class event that honors Ehret's legacy, foster's community, and shares Ehret's message to thousands. Although a limited number of people can attend, the reverberations of what happens at the celebration can reach thousands, or even millions of people!
We cannot pull off this event without your help!
Your donation or sponsorship of this event will not only make it happen, but will help us promote Arnold Ehret's message much further and wider. And with our plans to have it professionally documented, individuals who were unable to attend will be able to eventually experience the content, which will live on and inspire generations!
Here are gifts you will receive in appreciation for your donation.

As a sponsor, upon request your logo will appear on all of our event-related webpages, advertisements, programs, etc. It will also be announced in marketing materials, during the event, and will be listed on media materials created from the event posted to social media and elsewhere online. If you have a company banner, it can be posted and made visible at the Ehret Day event.
Prof. Spira has worked hard to build a strong network of fans and followers, and currently has over 70,000 combined followers/subscribers across social media and in his private mailing list. Once all of the details of the event are finalized, Ehret Day will be vigorously marketed to Spira's network and beyond, thereby exposing your brand or business to thousands.
Also, depending on how you list your sponsorship gift, you may be able to write it off as a business expense on your organization's taxes (this is not legal or tax advise. Please consult with your accountant or lawyer to see if you can do this).
Thus, it is a win-win! Be a part of making this magnificent historical event happen, gain community goodwill and visibility for your brand/business, and potentially get a tax break.
Let's make history together!
Thank you so much for your time!
If you have any questions or you are interested in becoming a sponsor and would like to meet with Prof. Spira to discuss details further, email us at [email redacted].
We truly appreciate your help!
