Do you feel the new wave of Spring energy moving through your breath, your heart, your body, and the natural world?
A cleanse is a beautiful way to gain fresh insight when you are feeling stuck and create a healthy structure to simplify your life so that you can ground and learn to take beautiful care of yourself.
This cleanse is at once a source of deep support and invigorating revival. Set down that which is not supporting your vitality. Return to simple rhythms. Cultivate healing habits. Put down your devices. Practice yoga and meditate for 5 consecutive days. Eat real food. Sleep like a baby. Rise with the sun. Learn a life changing, simple, Ayurvedic monodiet and method to reset, re-orient, re-evaluate, and reconnect.
Are you ready to make space, let go, reflect on the lessons of Winter, and re-connect potently to your body, mind, and spirit before we move into the vibrancy of Springtime?
This program is inspired by my own experience over a decade of following a seasonal (Fall and Spring) Kitchari Cleanse that I started in my late twenties and has been a game-changer and a deep reset that debloats/calms/grounds but also ripples out beyond the physical. The cleanse and nutrition protocol was co-created with Kameko Shibata, my amazing friend and Ayurvedic Practitioner who now has a Masters Degree in Ayurveda who I created this program with and ran for years and years in California.
This is not deprivation or juice cleanse that will spike and crash your blood sugar. It is a gentle, nourishing cleanse that will help you digest better, sleep better, feel better, and see your life with gentler and wiser eyes.
Over the course of this cleanse you will:
*embark on a 5 day Ayurvedic monodiet
*practice 30 minutes of yoga for 7 days consecutively and learn a simple daily meditation routine
*learn Dinacharya, an Ayurvedic start to the day to clear the senses
*unplug for a 5-day digital detox from social media
*reflect and journal with guided prompts
What will I be eating? Breakfast is spiced quinoa porridge. Lunch and Dinner is Kitchari - which is a cooked warming stew of mung Dahl and Basmati Rice with specific warming spices and vegetables. In addition to these meals, you will sip warm herbal teas, whole foods based healthy snack, and daily elixirs.
What can’t I have? No sugar. No meat. No alcohol. No processed foods. No dairy Reduced caffeine. No social media.
How much time will I need? You will wake with the sunrise to practice 30 minutes of yoga and 10 minutes each morning to meditate. There are a couple journal, processing questions along the way and it is your choice how long you write about them. You will need to pack meals for work or school and have healthy cleanse snacks on hand. There is some food prep involved.
What is Dinacharya? Dinacharya is a sacred ritual to cleanse the windows of perception to welcome the day. You will learn sacred daily rituals based in Ayurveda to ground and settle your nervous system: from dry brushing to Oilination Massage, from tongue scraping to Jala Neti - get ready to cleanse the windows of perception and offer kindness and healing touch to your daily routine.
Can I repeat it on my own? It is helpful to have guidance the first time you embark on this journey, but once you know the way, you can make Reset a ritual you look forward to repeating each Fall and Spring. Weave it into the deeper meaning of your practice, and your life purpose.
What does the week look like?
Friday-Sunday March 10, 11, and 12:
All are welcome and AHIMSA - compassion and nonviolence towards others and self is a central thread to the process. Before we embark on the 5-day Ayurvedic Kitchari Monodiet, you will have 3 days to prepare the temple - shifting to a whole foods diet, eliminating meat, alcohol, sugar, increasing hydration, and reducing caffeine. You will take these 3 days to learn the cleanse protocol, shop for your supplies and ingredients, prepare a meditation space, and arrange your calendar so you can stick to the daily yoga and meditation schedule. If you are triggered by food cleanses you can skip that portion and join us for the yoga and meditation and self care ritual. This weekend is your own time to prepare: join the livestream welcome/intro or watch the video, read your cleanse e-book, go grocery shopping, create sacred space for meditation and yoga in your home, look ahead and clear your schedule, let your loved ones know you are on a cleanse week, and start prepping your monodiet foods in the kitchen
Monday through Friday March 13-17:
Morning Ritual (Dinacharya)
Daily On Demand Yoga Recording
5 Day Ayurvedic Monodiet
Daily Meditation
5 day Digital Detox from social media
This is a gentle, methodical, and cumulative process.

"When you refrain from habitual thoughts and behavior, the uncomfortable feelings will still be there. They don’t magically disappear. Over the years, I’ve come to call resting with the discomfort “the detox period,” because when you don’t act on your habitual patterns, it’s like giving up an addiction. You’re left with the feelings you were trying to escape. The practice is to make a wholehearted relationship with that."
-Pema Chodron
