Virtual Inner Quest Experience
NEXT SESSION TO BE ANNOUNCED
“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.

The Fasting Path: A 7-Day Spiritual Juice Fast
Fasting has long been honoured as a sacred practice that awakens renewal and opens the doorway to the Divine. This online retreat offers a week-long immersion into rest, release, and reconnection.
For seven days, you will be lovingly guided through a spiritual juice fast designed to support body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Each day becomes a practice of devotion to your deepest well-being, with time for meditation, journaling, breathwork, and communion with nature.
Fasting shifts the body’s energy from digestion toward cleansing and repair. As toxins release and vital energy awakens, many discover new clarity, heightened energy, and a profound sense of spiritual connection.

This retreat is held online to welcome our worldwide community. You will be supported through daily guidance, spiritual teachings, and optional practices such as Shamanu Earth meditations, reflective dialogues, and inspirational lectures.
The Fasting Path is a conscious choice to nourish every dimension of yourself. This journey invites you to quiet the mind, return to your sacred design, and open to higher energies of spirit.
Step onto The Fasting Path and experience the renewal that arises when body and soul move in harmony.
