We are all in need of an exhale.

The past two years of my life have taken me in a direction I never dreamed of going. Fortunately, I didn’t have much of a choice. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that living on this planet — living a life - has it’s highs and lows. Though we laugh and though we love, we hurt too. Not every negative experience leaves us ready to reflect, grow, and heal. At least, not right way.

Hurt can leave us with emotions that fester and impact the way we move through our lives; and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s important to allow yourself to feel everything in the process of working through pain. It’s equally important to acknowledge that holding onto negative energy isn’t sustainable.

That’s why Gabe Smith and myself have come together to create something accessible and transformative for “The Everyone”. Everything that’s sitting on the inside, it’s time for it to get out. It’s time to release.

We call it “the sewage of the soul.”

Through substantial research, time, and mindfulness, we’ve made a guide for the ultimate detox. A 14-day journey to wholeness and the understanding that wholeness is infinite. It’s designed to bring you back in alignment with who you are at your core and strengthen the relationship between yourself and the world.

How do you know if you need a detox?

Feelings of anger, resentment, sorrow, shame, and helplessness are good indicators that something — possibly beneath the surface, needs releasing. However, you don’t have to be experiencing negative emotions to need or even want a Detox. You also don’t have to be or feel broken to Heal. Think of The Summer Detox as an exploration of your own soul.

What can I expect?

Expect to feel a lot. That truly is the entire point. We recognize that this guide is not the end all be all of anyone’s personal journey. Complete healing is not the goal and we actually don’t believe that “healed” should be a destination. Our only goal is to enable some kind of awakening. The Summer Detox is filled with teachings, questions, prompts, and activities for empowerment. It offers perspective, spiritual guidance, emotional liberation, space for creative expression, and the chance to feel anchored in the body.

What do I need?

You’ll need a pencil, paper, a couple lemons, water, and an open mind.
