The Fasting Path: Inner Quest Experience
(Online)

“All the vitality and all the energy I have comes to me because my body is purified by fasting. ” ~Gandhi

To remember who you are, a reset experience for body, mind, and spirit is greatly needed in today’s chaos.

Spiritual Fasting: The Inner Quest Experience is a self-healing process that cleanses the body and mind and feeds the spirit, taking us closer to the peaceful truth of who we are. Spiritual fasting quiets the mind and emotions, bringing us into the eternal Now, where we can experience the true peace of our Divinity.

1st - 7th Feb, 2024

This is a life-changing week-long immersion. Each day is an act of self-love and a commitment to conscious living. Tools and techniques carefully designed to produce change help you explore body, mind, and spirit and see and release limitations. Guided meditations, introspection and journaling time, nature-play and breathwork are integral components of this practical personal growth experience.

Fasting is highly revered in almost every spiritual tradition as it is believed to be a powerful gateway to the Divine. Spiritual fasting creates an opening for cleansing and healing on all levels. An online fasting retreat is a profound experience that can rejuvenate the body, support deep spiritual revitalization, help you reconnect with your soul, and reactivate your connection with the Divine.

The Fasting Path with Lorenna Kacera and Shantree Kacera, held exclusively online to serve our worldwide community, consists of a 7-day spiritual juice fast (non-medical) to support the body, mind, emotions and spirit.

During this online retreat, you will likely make a deeper connection to your soul by creating a quiet mind, returning to your sacred design, and accessing higher spiritual energies.

Fasting provides an opportunity for the body to rest and rejuvenate. By not spending energy on digesting food, the body can focus on eliminating toxins, breaking down dead or damaged cells, creating new cells, and repairing and upgrading all of its systems. People who have tried fasting report that it brings mental clarity, increased energy levels, and a stronger spiritual connection.

Optional daily activities such as Shamanu earth connection meditation, insightful lectures, and spiritual discussions offer you an opportunity to enhance your spiritual fasting journey by including more profound levels of relaxation, self-discovery, and expansion of consciousness.

The main difference between Spiritual Fasting and regular fasting is our ‘conscious intent’ to nourish ourselves on every level – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
