The Art & Science of Cleansing with Ellen Heed
The Art & Science of Cleansing is a 7-day workshop in two parts. The first part is a three- day tour of the physiology of digestion & absorption, which will take a close look at why we are a nation that is literally starving for good nutrition. The effects of processed food, food additives, pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, and the Pill will be dissected and strategies for remediating our health after exposure to this onslaught of chemicals will be outlined.
Ellen will cover what went wrong in our nutritional education and what we can do to make it right. We will take a fresh look at our biological needs as individuals, and how to choose the best foods based on our genetic heritage, constitutional type, metabolic type, and medical history. This three-day workshop will include slides and lectures, discussion, self-assessment and work with partners and small groups using techniques drawn from both ancient traditional disciplines and the newest information from the leading edge of 21st century research. May 18-20th, 2012.
The second part of the workshop is a four-day practicum where we will delve into the hands-on aspects of cleansing. We will be making food and learning how to use enemas, juices, flushes and fats to cleanse our bodies from the organ level all the way down to managing the micro-organisms that make digestion possible. This class is experiential, and all students who participate will have the opportunity to learn time-tested techniques to re-invent their nutritional lives and honor their deepest cellular cravings.
We will learn what it means to heal our intestines and how to know when enough cleansing is enough. We will also learn how to source and make foods that are nourishing, sustainable, and delicious. Understanding that what we eat determines our mental & physical health will take on new meaning as we learn to read between the lines of food (mis)-labeling and green-washing that pervade our “health food/whole food” stores.
Food is our best and most available medicine. Learning how to use it appropriately will change you life. Come and taste a life that feeds your soul, feeds the soil, and brings harmony to both your inside and outside environment. May 21-24, 2012
