It's Time to Plan your Spring and Summer Fast!

Dates for the 2008 Spring and Summer Vitality Fasting Retreat have been announced!

Our ever popular Vitality Fasting Retreat returns for Spring and Summer 2008, May 15-18 and August 2-8, and will be held at the Sequoia Retreat Center, a gorgeous sanctuary tucked away in the redwood forests near Santa Cruz, CA. We look forward to greeting new as well as experienced fasters at this year's retreats.


What is Vitality Fasting?

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.

Please check out our Vitality Fasting Retreats website page for all the details and a registration form.
