Description: This comprehensive 5-Day Juice Fasting Detoxification Retreat will introduce an age old method of health and anti-aging rejuvenation.  Participants will learn how to prepare, combine and ingest a variety of fresh organic fruit and vegetable juices, potassium vegetable broth, mineral water and herbal teas.

Juice Fasting is a holistic healing method that speeds the elimination of toxins from the body.  This style of fasting is highly effective because juice requires minimal digestion and is easily absorbed and assimilated into the body.  It supplies nutrients and calories to maintain energy while clearing body of waste.  Through self-fasting you may clear emotional and mental stagnation and experience a heightened sense of creativity and insight. 

Reading List: Steve Meyerowitz' Juice Fasting for Detoxification

Includes:  

• Pre and Post-Fast counseling through e-mail from Jill Schneider, Director of Circle of Life Holistic Programs

• One private consultation/energy healing session with Jill Schneider
• All exercise classes of Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, Meditative Stretch, guided hikes, walks, bikes

Location: Along with the Central California Coast's fresh air, sulfur mineral hot springs, massage therapy, hiking hills and beach walking, participants will truly experience a rest of the highest order. What makes this area very special is the accessibility to food picked within a day or two.  Most is certified organic and everything is pesticide free.  

Schedule: We will begin to drink juices immediately on the day of arrival.  The actual liquid part of the program will be five consecutive days. We will break the fast on the morning of departure with a delicious fruit salad.  

Our days will be spent learning a variety of self-healing techniques such as acupressure, reflexology, colon massage, dry brush massage, yoga techniques to encourage bowel cleansing, sea salt water flushing, and the importance of enemas and colon hydrotherapy. A package containing a tongue cleaner, dry brush, and skin cloth comes with the registration. 

Pre-fast: Pre-fast counseling, via phone and e-mail with Jill Schneider, and an e-package of instructions will be e-mailed one week before the actual program. You will be encouraged to make significant changes even before the fast. Information on how to transition into solid food, making better choices and staying focused on more living and organically prepared meals will be explained.  A handout with resources for simple recipes will be given following the fast. The cultivation of a greater respect for one’s body will offer participants invaluable tools empowering each person to use throughout their lives. 

Post-Fast: The biggest problem people have with fasting is where to go from there.  We will prepare you before you break the fast and Jill will be available to you on the phone and e-mail with ideas of what to eat and how to go very slowly as you get back to solid foods.  There is an excellent website with a food guide, which you are welcome to download.

Testimonial from the April/May08 Retreat

Aloha my fasting buddies,
     It's a new life today.  I have continued eating raw since we broke the fast last Friday.  I found two good raw restaurants:- Cilantro's in Carlsbad and The Greenery in Leucadia.  I had friends meet me there for dinner and everyone enjoyed the tasty food and the new experience.  We even had an "ice cream" sundae with chocolate sauce that was amazing.  Jimbo's Market had prepared raw foods that were good too. I have found it relatively easy to continue however I'm realizing that the challenge will be back in Hawaii when there are fewer prepared options like here.  I may move into 70/30 raw...we'll see.  Thank you for a life altering experience.  I haven't felt this good in a very, very long time.  I'm so grateful.  I'm at Katelyn's graduation now and will head home on Sunday, Mother's Day.  It was wonderful to get to know everyone and make new friends.  Hopefully we'll come together again.  With Love,  Holly
