Buddah Light at American Yogini's hohm juice cleanse retreat

Our Retreat will be open for you, with special workshops, ceremonies to focus upon the past year, what worked, and what did not. With meditation, guided journaling, yoga and juice cleansing we release the things that have not been working in our lives, and together we map our dreams for 2012 and beyond.
We are taking orders for delivered hohm juice cleanses to be delivered next week, as follow up after the retreat, or as your self guided juice experience.

Our fully scheduled weekend retreat includes pre-cleanse raw dinner on Saturday afternoon, juicing, broths, simple grains, daily all levels yoga workshops, and and exciting introduction to The Artists Way to launch us all into new ways of looking at the world around us, the challenges that have blocked us, and the excitement of new creations in the coming year.

If you are seeking a sane and peaceful way to ring in the New Year in the most conscious way possible, our retreat is open for you. We are planning cleansing ritual workshop that will include creation of your own individual dispatch packet. In this ceremony and workshop you will place various dry natural materials together with a written list of all the things you want to “un-stick” from yourself so you can ascend into a new year without anything pulling you down.

We hope you can join us

Cleansing is the process of simplification, of elimination of all the “extras” that we consume but really do not need. It is the stripping down to what is essential to be naturally healthy and functioning optimally with nothing getting in our way. So it is no surprise that as we cleanse and especially if we cleanse on a retreat, not only does the body slim down, but the mind becomes quiet, empty and clear( ok-perhaps after a bit of agitation), the eyes see color, texture and light more vividly, the nose can smell subtle fragrance like a far away bloom riding on a breeze, the skin becomes very sensitive and soft (yeah sexy feelings are reported).
An elevation in the senses is one of the best positives of a juice cleanse. This means you are living in the physical world in present time. All senses are sharp because they can be: nothing is getting in the way of this when you are “clean” from juice cleansing and yoga.

Ultimately we are ALL “creative” in this world, not one of us is truly healthy unless we are moving forward through creative endeavor.
Next time you cleanse, plan to tap into this wonderful side effect of juice cleansing. Gravitate toward museums, re-arrange the art in your home, buy flowers for the house, or visit a botanical garden. Any stroll out of doors, in nature in the country or even a city park with a sketch book, or a journal to write prose. It is the most perfect time to allow introspection, tune into and enjoy those happy side effects of elevated senses.

Many of us here at the retreat have LOVED doing random “tasks” in “The Artists Way” by Julia Cameron. If you ever did this self guided workshop, it is just as great repeated every time you cleanse. If you never did it: this is the BEST time ever! We do have a copy here, and would be happy to guide you into it.
There is a new online version, you can check out the “Basic Tools” here.
Be sure to get on our new facebook fan page and look at all the welcome videos! Tell us all what you are creating during your cleanse!
PS: If you get “stuck” read chapter 4 of my book The 7 Day Total Cleanse and try a few of those cleansing protocols for unlocking your creative juices with our juices, yoga for this very purpose, and recommended fragrances oils for second and third chakras.
