In the stillness of silence you can reconnect with your inner wisdom and sort out the mental chatter of daily life, contemplate questions you may be avoiding or gain clarity of thought.
Taking a break from communication is a gift we give each other. No need for small talk or wondering what to say. The silence isn't heavy and punishing, it's welcome and light.
The day includes a variety of meditation techniques with guidance. It's a great introduction if you're new to meditation and wonder what it's all about. It's also a great day to deepen your practice if you're contemplating a longer silent retreat or want to get back into the habit of mindfulness.

Our society, with all of its advances, has a lot of drawbacks. The price we pay for faster and cheaper takes the form of stress, toxins, chemicals, air pollutants, and radiation. It's found in our food in the form of over processed and demineralized ingredients, herbicides, pesticides, food colorings, and preservatives. The body is constantly working to eliminate toxins and a strong and clean body can rid itself of most toxic waste. But without proper cleansing, this waste can and will build up. A buildup of toxins is like a wall coating our intestinal tract. it does not allow good absorption of vitamins and nutrients. This makes our bodies susceptible to diseases and ailments. Without help, the immune system weakens.
This is a week to get on track with healthier habits for your body, mind and spirit, and lose some stress with a break from the busyness of your life. You will become confident with preparing whole vegetable juices, smoothies and nutritious raw foods with food prep classes each day. Return home armed with recipes and confidence to keep up the momentum you start this week. If you have significant health issues this may be just the week you need to get on track with better eating habits. You are what you eat so why not eat nutritious, whole foods?

Life moves pretty fast, and most of us are living our lives in a state of chronic stress and overwhelm. Our current western lifestyle, with its reliance on technology, demanding pressures and daily stressors, results in overwhelm and overstimulation for most of us. Our efforts to keep up in this fast-paced culture, that does not support healing and rest in our bodies and minds, places unrealistic demands on our inner resources and often results in exhaustion, anxiety, depression and overall dis-ease.
