Listening to Peter Yarrow play and sing with Mimi Fox was like sound healing for the soul. Music is a huge part of the healing process and having these two world class musicians play for us was like magic.

Each person had their own detoxing blend of clay. This became an incredibly bonding experience and was really nurturing.

It really came down to giving ourselves this humongous gift of a clear heart, mind, and body. Having this experience I created a baseline for what feeling clean is like. I left with joyous amounts of energy and a feeling of community.
