What is that hum in the air? It's the sound of spring heating up!

Spring has sprung and with it increased vigor and energy to get moving. We see it in the flora and fauna around us, and in our (hopefully) well rested winter bodies yearning to break loose and indulge in spring activities. Spring is a perfect time to take on gentle cleansing which will help our body rejuvenate and allow us to prepare ourselves for a full summer. This newsletter contains two excellent ways for you to partake in a spring cleanse.

If you are thinking about participating in the May Vitality Fasting Retreat, send in your registration ASAP! Spaces are filling quickly. We are excited about this year's fasts, which will be held May 15-18 and August 2-8 at the Sequoia Retreat Center, a gorgeous sanctuary tucked away in the redwood forests near Santa Cruz, CA. Our retreats are held in a beautiful, natural setting where the air is fresh, the water pure, and the light clear. Edward Bauman, M.Ed., Ph.D., the program’s facilitator and inner travel guide, has crafted a unique program that brings together all the ingredients for self-healing. On retreat, a new culture comes to life that affirms the opening of heart and soul.

Fasting is a time-honored spiritual practice that can help you let go of unwanted habits and achieve a greater sense of balance and vitality. Designed to cleanse the body, mind, and spirit, you will have the opportunity to explore your issues around food, self care and personal growth in a safe and supportive environment. Peel off layers of stress. Reclaim your center and say hello to your healthy self.

Savor fresh, organic fruit and vegetable juice for breakfast and lunch. Sip cool herbal teas in the afternoon and savor warm, nutrient-rich mineral broths as day turns to night.
