It's been 9 months since my wondrous experience at Nurturing Nest in the special care of Sandi and Ram, along with my 3 retreat mates. With hindsight, I can now see how my departure in March from the fasting Freedom Retreat was really just the beginning. I flew back to the East Coast with "seeds planted" deep within my empty... more

Having reached a point where life didn’t seem worth living anymore, good fortune led me to the Nurturing Nest.

I went to the Freedom Retreat Sept. 3 through Sept. 8. I found the Nurturing Nest website from an online search for "retreats" and I knew immediately that I had to go. The circumstances of my life had put me in a downward fear-based spiral. I want to say upfront that this is one fantastic opportunity to clear everything up... more

I decided to do a 5 day freedom retreat at Nurturing Nest instead of going to Burning Man last year, and it was exactly what my body needed. It felt like I pressed the re-start button on my body, and gave me the clarity I was looking for. From the minute I arrived, Ram and Sandi made me feel at... more

I have been back from the Freedom Retreat for 2 weeks now and everybody notices a difference in me. I feel great, lighter in every way.

I can't recommend this... more

Five days of fasting, meditating, yoga, soaking, journaling, reading, silence, juicing, therapy, massage, circular breathing, hiking, and a ceremonial Indian sweat lodge to boot.
