I've done a juice fast (Master Cleanse) many times in my life. It has helped with my allergy symptoms. My wife has held retreats like you're describing in Northern Ontario of all places. My fasts are normally no more than 3 days but once I held out for 2 WEEKS (and went to work every day with a thermos of lemonade mixture). After those 14 days I started with watermelon that tasted like pure honey!. A fast can leave me feeling squeaky clean inside and out. You don't have to go away to experience it, the recipe's online and doing it at home actually saves on your grocery bill.
The blood pressure thing is scary Leah. I’ve just been told that I can’t blame mine on white coat syndrome anymore and have started some meds which will hopefully help. But hey, it got me bumped up the NHS list for the next covid booster! Small win, right? 🤷♀️
Good one!

Yes it’s amazing how good it makes you feel after a few days to um… basically eat nothing? Also an excellent business model!
You know, I'd really like to say something nice. OK, how about this: you go find fractals and Fibonacci numbers in nature. I'll write pulp fiction.

The not eating would be tough for me but it otherwise sounds divine. And what a setting!
It’s hell for two days then bliss for one then hell again — but apparently my chakras are perfectly balanced and sparkling!
