Why We Gather

Come Together Before the Cleanse

We gather for the value of being in a room together, talking honestly about the health topics that matter to this community. It also gives you a gentle way into the 3-Day Community Broth Fast that begins four days later: you arrive curious, you leave knowing what to expect and who is beside you.

Talk About What Matters

Two open panels with healers and herbalists on microbiome health, parasites, emotional detox, women's health and more. Honest conversation, with room for your own questions.

Ease Into the Cleanse

Taste the broths and learn how the three days work, so you start the fast on October 27 feeling ready instead of unsure.

Meet the Practitioners

Put faces to the people who will guide you. Everyone in the room is here to answer questions, one on one, in the open flow after lunch.

Ask Your Questions

Not sure a cleanse is right for you? Bring the questions. You do not need to sign up for anything to attend.

The Gathering is free and optional. Read the FAQ or ask us on WhatsApp.
