Our Philosophy
For thousands of years, people have naturally and internally cleansed the body by fasting and consuming raw foods as nature’s way of maintaining health and wellbeing. They were one with the rhythms of the seasons, and spring was always a time of cleansing the body with fresh shoots of dandelion and other cleansing herbs, indigenous to their religions. It was instinctual, holistic, and effective. Medicine has always come from the earth and cleansing the body was an essential part of various cultures’ healing traditions.
“Starflower Cleansing Retreat offers a return
to the natural rhythms of healing that were
implemented for thousands of years.”
