FALL CLEANSE
Dates TBA
Detox, heal, and rejuvenate in community during
this yearly time of transition.
Why do a kitchari cleanse?
What does the 5-day Ayurvedic Cleanse include?
Mono-diet, Ayurvedic self-care, and more.
What to Expect
Our gentle Ayurvedic fall cleanse is based on a mono-diet of kitchari, a complete protein made from mung beans and rice. Less provocative than other liquid-based cleanses, our cleanse is gentle enough for a diverse range of constitutions and imbalances. However, during the cleanse you may find that long-standing imbalances surface through the detox process as the body intelligently repairs itself.
You may find yourself physically exhausted or emotionally taxed at times - this is normal. Though because the cleanse is gentler, you should not feel a great deal of discomfort. You will experience ups and downs, as many of the benefits are are felt after the cleansing process.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS CLEANSERS
“The effects I observed were not just the physical changes in my body, but also the change in my mental approach to eating, wellness, and caring for myself. I became more aware of my habits and how they haven't always served bettering my health. And I noticed how I was more in tune with my body--not just what I was eating or how I was exercising, but the actual contact and attention that comes with the various daily care practices.”
"I found that community support kept me accountable to the routine of the cleanse. Even though the support was remote, the check ins and live yoga classes provided a sense of a shared journey throughout the week."
"I felt so great, and really supported. Lots of resources. Next time I’ll sign up earlier and maybe get a consult too!"
