Healing From the Source Retreat

Who of us does not yearn for replenishment of mind, body and soul in this increasingly toxic, fast paced life, a return to our vibrant, spiritual, creative selves as nature intended? Well buckle your seat belts! Here is the perfect medicine! Healing From the Source is a spiritual painting retreat and body cleanse combined, set in the breathtaking beauty of the Montana Rockies. You will join with an intimate group of like-minded souls guided by two Masters Healers.

Internationally famed “Painting From The Source”, facilitated by Aviva Gold, is a transformational process painting experience (non-toxic tempera paint and paper), for beginners and trained alike, in which you tap into and express unconscious and transpersonal imagery that has surprising beauty.

The Restore Detox Cleanse, developed and administered by Dr. Edie Resto and staff, includes individual evaluations with Biomeridian Assessment system, fasting, bodywork, walks, yoga, supplements, colonics and education, resulting in rejuvenated health and energy.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Both Processes, so powerfully healing and transformative by themselves are now integrated and offered together as powerful healing experience for your radiant health, renewed vitality and flowing creative expression.
What to Expect
Your Painting Sanctuary will be your safe and sacred space from first to last day, always available. Here you will also have group sharing each morning and evening. Your ongoing painting imagery is a mirror of your progressive cleansing journey, a place to express the many emotions and non-verbal memories and imagery released by the Cleanse.

The Phases of your Cleanse, also mirrored in the painting process are: Expectation, which includes pre workshop preparation, lighter meals, individual body assessment, and orientation; Incubation, which includes the first few days of nourishment on herbal drinks, broths and cleansing supplements, body image session, ceremonial Sweat, culminating in the liver cleanse and colonics on the 4th day; Re-emergence, which includes beginning to eat solid food again, acceleration of exercise, “future visualization” session, and transformation of our painting process; and Celebration, the ritual culmination of our cleanse and painting process.

Woven throughout each day of this body and soul healing symphony are yoga, walking, bodywork sessions, and periods of silence. A typical day will start with a walk, and continues with nourishment, group sharing, painting sanctuary, mid-day nourishment, a talk or activity, painting sanctuary, long yoga/exercise session, evening nourishment, and end with group sharing/painting.
