Thoughts from a Participant in the Detox Day
Once a month, the Morningstar Center organizes a Detox Day, followed the next day by a breakfast meeting with the participants, to discuss what was learned during the workshop and to share the conclusions of this experience.
The workshop’s proposal is to experience a day of relaxation and detoxification, away from daily stress, at the Morningstar Center. Together we discuss and try cleansing and calming the body and mind. The course also offers theoretical aspects of detoxification: we discuss the benefits of diet in terms of digestion, various allergies or food predispositions. But mainly, the participants relax in the garden with aromatic medicinal teas and fresh smoothies made from organic fruits and vegetables. Mindfulness exercises are done, along with walks through Bazilescu Park – which is a few minutes away from the center. But most of all, everyone enjoys a day devoted entirely to our well-being!
A detox day recently took place at our center. The weather was splendid, just right to host our good mood and to enable us to carry out most of the activities outdoors, in the beautiful courtyard with flowers and greenery, and in Bazilescu Park. Below are a few lines received from one of the participants:
“A detox day at the Morningstar Center
It was a relaxed day in which normal meals were replaced with fresh fruit and vegetable juices, in varied, absolutely delicious combinations. The day’s program included a yoga session and a quiet walk in the nearby park. Enjoying the juices in the company of the other participants and the conversations among us made the day go by very quickly.
The absence of solid food from that day’s diet gave the digestive system a break, and the fresh juices brought a substantial supply of vitamins and active plant principles that would be lost through the cooking process. More than a break for the digestive system, for me the detox day was also a day away from everyday concerns, a day of reflection and mental relaxation.
A gift for my body, from which other aspects of my being also benefited. Definitely an experience that I recommend to everyone!”
