In Preparation:

 

In order to prepare for the experience, we observe a period of

fasting and detoxification. The Solstice and Equinox are great

times to fast, detox, and realign yourself with the natural rhythms

of the earth. We also fast to support our spiritual awakening and

the solar power within our bodies. During this Summer solstice it is

suggested to participate in a process of awakening. For seven days

we are implementing a 7-day solstice diet from June 18th to the 24th.

 

On Saturday, 17 June, you can access the solstice observation

guideline docuement with resources and guidance on the internet:

In order to participate, we ask that you prepare yourself with, at

minimum the following dietary recommendations.

 

General Dietary Guidance:

6/18 – 6/24: eat natural, freshly prepared food, primarily fruits

and vegetables, beverages – drink water and pure juices (freshly

juiced is best); seek to eliminate processed foods (which can

interfere with your ability to participate and perceive all the

solstice observation has to offer)

 

6/18: eat primarily fruits and vegetables, cooked whole grains;

reduce or eliminate added sugar, processed carbohydrates (wheat

products in a bag or box), starches, soy/tofu, and meat

 

6/19: begin introducing more raw vegetables and fruits; begin

reducing whole grain carbohydrates, eliminate animal, soy/tofu

products and sugar

 

6/20: eat freshly prepared, cooked or raw vegetables and fruits,

drink water and pure juices (freshly juiced is best); eliminate

grain products, avoid eating or drinking after 8 pm

 

6/21: before the morning solstice observation, do not eat and avoid

drinking anything (even water) in order to ensure that the digestive

tract is at rest after the morning solstice observation, eat raw

vegetables and fruits, drink water and freshly prepared, pure juices

 

6/22: after eating raw food, slowly begin to reintroduce cooked

vegetables first, continue eating raw vegetables and fruits, and

freshly prepared juices

 

6/23: gently begin reintroducing simple cooked foods including

cooked whole grains in addition to vegetables and fruits

 

6/24: if applicable, begin reintroducing only high quality,

organic, freshly prepared animal products (; continue to avoid /

minimize added sugar, processed foods, soy/tofu and animal products

to encourage and maintain the cleansing and positive health effects

of eating raw food)
