Ashinah’s 2008 Live Food Retreats


 Come join us at Ashinah, for a week of healthy living. Surrounded by gardens, enjoy a daily yoga practice, & three exquisite raw meals a day. Raw live food is innately designed to help eliminate any unwanted toxins & excess build up from the intestines.
bath house
Gourmet fresh flavors curl around the tongue inviting the body to gently cleanse itself. As we cleanse the body we cleanse the mind & discover new perspectives to contemplate, so bring a journal for your personal time.

We also have a comprehensive library available to all, for quite times in the garden. Daily meditation and pranayama is an 
ongoing option for participants.

beachAlso, there is a soothing sauna with purifying essential oils that will be fired up upon request. There are plenty of nearby wonders to enjoy, such as an afternoon hike to an amazing waterfall or a trip to the lake.

See ‘Region’ for more ideas and pictures.
