Before my spring internal cleansing experience the longest I'd ever fasted was 1 day and that was for a medical or physical exam. The first couple of days I experienced slight or minimal headaches 2 times but this quickly went away. At no time was I hungry but it was very hard to be around others when they were eating. And whenever I entered a store all of the snacks seemed to be calling my name tempting me. However, I stayed strong and persevered, thus experiencing UNBOUNDED PERIODS OF ENERGY. I was constantly moving and felt I needed to do something, so much so that I had to make myself stop and rest. Although I wasn't trying, I lost 6 pounds. Overall I felt great, lighter, healthier and I call on everyone to do a quality, weekly fasting or cleansing. Your body, mind and spirit will thank you.

This was a wonderful experience that was priceless. To my surprise I was not hungry the entire detox. I cooked for my family each day and never was I tempted to taste or eat anything I prepared. This was much easier than I thought. My biggest health improvement was with my sinuses. I have suffered with intense sinus headaches and neck pain for about 10 years. I have tried every prescription and over the counter medication and nasal spray. My last being Zyrtec. However, a year ago not even zyrtec would help so I started taking apple cider vinegar. This I would do 2 to 3 times a day to keep the headaches away. During this 8 day detox I have NOT had to take any apple cider vinegar, had no sinus headaches nor neck pains. It feels really good! Good luck. God Bless and you would achieve much success since this is your passion. THANKS!!

Blessings from the week:

Bills have been paid. Health is great. Energy is up. Stamina is back. Stars are coming into line. God's plan has been manifested. Made it through another week without harm, minimal stress and lots of encouragement.
-D. Spence

This has been my first fasting experience.

From this experience I have gotten so much;

· I feel extremely happy and full of energy

· Less stressed

· My cognition has increased and sharpened

· My complexion is clearer

· My sinus and allergies were suppressed

· And intimate moments with my spouse were very beautiful.

Initially I thought absolutely no way I can do an eight day fasting regimen. I surprised myself and also have learned so much from the members of the group. I have learned how to eat better, breathe better and how to live a healthy and longer life. I WOULD LIKE TO FAST AGAIN WITH THIS GROUP AND ALSO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH EVERYONE.

I enjoyed not having to do the work of juicing myself. I usually have to freeze the juice. This way it was prepared fresh daily. I experienced some hunger during the 3 days of OJ, but not much. The key is to consume more water of juice when you feel hunger. I slept very well and had less problems with my sinus. I've been very energized even though I only slept about 4-6 hours a night. I loved the camaraderie I felt with the group and plan to stay in touch. I also plan to frequent the restaurant when it opens. I've also decided to do my best to convert to a live food diet as a I finish the foods I have in my house now. I am highly appreciative of our coordinator, so thankful that God has given me the opportunity to have this wonderful experience.

Overall I really enjoyed the fast. I believe that the 1 hour yoga sessions everyday was also a very important and helpful component that should be incorporated into each fast. I did not feel much hunger seeing as this was my first fast. For the past 6-7 months I had been suffering from constant abdominal pain, fatigue and sadness. My body kept telling me it was time to change and this fast was the perfect opportunity for me to take those steps to return back to a healthier lifestyle. My abdominal pain, fatigue and bloating have all dissipated and I have not felt this light, peaceful and energized in a almost a year. The spiritual readings and group discussions helped me focus on not only my physical health but my spiritual and emotional health as well. As a 25 year old single woman with no kids I think now is the perfect time for me to continue this journey into holistic wellness. So that when the creator blesses me with a husband and children I can offer them cuisine and a lifestyle enriched by physical activity that my parents were not able to give me. Also being a member of this group has allowed me to meet women 2 and 3 times my senior who offered me support and wisdom and an example to follow. I have never seen so many older women of color who have flawless skin and are in great shape. I can honestly say this fast was a great first step on my personal journey into a healthier lifestyle and a higher consciousness.

Better sleep. More energy upon arising. Loss of weight. Better body movement and coordination with yoga. Felt great from 1st day of fasting. A joyous experience, a week to remember! Thank you!

WOW. It's been an amazing week, amazing because I didn't realize how do-able this fast would be, I won't say effortless, but it was a lot easier than I expected. When I signed up I imagined myself being able to stick to the fast for a few days, but not making it the whole way, I just thought I'd do my best, pay attention to my body and quit if I needed to, but I didn't need to quit, in fact today is the 8th day of this journey and I could keep going.

It was incredibly helpful to be part of this community and to begin each morning with yoga checking in with one another to see how things were and to wish each other well. The yoga was also a wonderful way to meditate, stretch, and prepare for the day.

Most importantly it was very helpful to leave here each morning with all the "food" (coconut water & Fresh OJ) I needed for the day - and the raw food feast was inspiring. I've spent all week craving that good healthy food, and I look forward to learning how to prepare some of these foods. And I look forward to the Mojo Café opening!!! Thank you for making all this possible.

This fast has opened my eyes to the discipline that I am capable of when I put my mind to it, and have support structure present. When I started the fast I had a "whatever" attitude, i.e. if I complete this and reach my goal great, if I don't that's ok too. But, because of the support of the other participants, and the three times we met this past week to discuss our experiences while fasting, I was able to stay focused, and reach the end of the fast successfully, not having cheated once (even w/o a piece of gum), which I was tempted to do, but did not do - thankfully.

As a result of the fast, and the discipline of which I now know I am capable, I am seriously contemplating taking on a vegetarian lifestyle, and attempting to learn live food preparation. The other vegetarian participants in the group have opened my eyes to the vitality of the long term practice of a vegetarian diet through their youthful appearance, which gives me real inspiration to try vegetarianism in a serious fashion. Overall this has been an excellent experience and an informative one as well. Through the reading materials provided, I have been educated about the many aspects of my current diet, and how it is damaging my health and draining my health and youth. This is definitely something I would do again given that I have learned and experienced.
-L. Ollie

For me the fasting has been unique, wonderful, and interesting. It has improved or should I say enhanced my ability to be one with All That IS!! I tend to enjoy large groups of people sharing their experiences. It's more or less a helping tool for me and others. I felt myself becoming more aware of my God, my spiritual being and everyone around me. I especially enjoyed Khepre and all the ladies. The love they displayed was awesome, I fell in love with them. I met so many people on different paths and experiences, WOW!! Love to all of you.
-S. Woods

I must say that this experience has been a true blessing and an experience that I have never had before. I truly feel like a cloud has been lifted from my mind and body. I have been on a natural high and full of energy for this whole week! Doing the Spring Detox with a group made all the difference, keeping me focused and motivated. I have made a connection with each member in the group, that I would like to continue. I have felt a special kind of peace and happiness during the process which is indescribable, making me want to tell everyone who I come in contact with about it! This experience starts a new chapter in my life, to make different choices about what I consume and maintaining all levels of myself; physically, spiritually, emotionally, mental, etc. This will also help me to introduce my family to a healthier more fulfilled lifestyle. I thank everyone involved in this event and all who worked so hard to make it possible.
-K. Whatts

This fast was a wonderful, physically and spiritually enriching experience. The communion with other like minded folk and the spirit of supportiveness and togetherness was uplifting. The fast itself was well-designed to suit people at all levels. I never felt hungry nor craved food. The early morning yoga helped to wake me up naturally and give me a boost of energy and positive attitude for the day. This discovery of coconut water as a fasting aid was a "eureka" moment. I'll definitely do this fast again. Please continue or at least repeat it regularly.
-C. Robinson

My personal experience with the fasting of this week was two-fold. The first part was a true test of will and fight temptations that were all around me. The second part was really the healing process. The yoga really helped with this. Uplifting my spirit and helping me get through this week.
-Nico

Just learning about the value of the coconut water of the internal cleansing or shower as some might say was well worth the cost of the workshop alone. Everything else was a bonus to me personally the preparing of the juices for the entire week and the yoga classes having the option of morning or evening classes was great also. The raw food was delicious but most important was the camaraderie and the learning experience you in and from everyone. I Love it and would do it again in a heartbeat!
-Roland

The nutmilk was very interesting, I enjoyed it. I also plan to continue this type of fast every other week because I'm hoping to eventually change my eating habits. I feel that if I continue fasting on a regular basis, I'll continue to slowly eliminate the foods that I shouldn't be eating. This is a fast that one could do regularly. I also enjoyed the yoga classes every morning, though I sometimes struggled. Finally, though I don't overly indulge in things that I should not eat, my ultimate goal is to be as healthy as I can, inside and out. Thank you Khepere for the opportunity to once again enjoy your fine cuisine.
-D. Miles

The program was very easy. I never wanted to eat. I feel so light, I am going to do at least 90% live food. Also, I saw an improvement in my body from the first yoga class to the last. This detox will be the beginning of my new body and life.
-J. Ware

I loved this experience. I am really proud of myself for making it through! The live food is delicious!
-M. Lydia

Wonderful cleansing experience. I can't wait to do it again.
-N. Spence

I enjoyed my experience. I was real hungry of Tuesday and Wednesday, the OJ was too thin and not filling enough. I fast but usually on carrot, spirulina, celery, etc. The 1st meal was awesome! I look forward to Mojo Café opening. The nut milk, WOW! The yoga was good. I practice and I enjoyed the level of instruction. On Tuesday I sat still in bed and felt that I was really in a meditative state. I was communing with God on a level that I never felt before. It was brief, intense and nice. Overall I enjoyed the fast, especially meeting people who shared in it with me. I suggest you do it several times a year and maybe we can get a group together for other health related mind inspiring activities. Thanks for all the effort, work, love and support.
-K. Samara

I followed the regimen exactly as told. I feel great! It was not until Thursday or Friday that I began to feel tired. During the entire process, I did not change the hectic work/home schedule /which is why I think I got tired by Friday. During the 8 day regimen, I lost approximately 5 pounds. I had been cleansing myself internally for at least 2 years. I did not get hungry but I wanted to eat by Thursday, after smelling some good food. One of my co-workers, who did not know about my fast, told me (on Wednesday) that I was glowing! He thought I might be pregnant since I glowed so much. I thanked him and said no! I am just fasting. It has been an awesome experience! The support you provided makes it spiritual as well as a physical, psychological experience. I truly recommend it to anyone who is interested in improving the quality of their life.
-J. Jackson

This week of fast and internal cleansing has been a good experience overall. I choose to participate in this program as a part of my journey to perfect health and well being. My inner voice has been instructing me to get clear. To clear my mind as well as my body because I have very important life work to do this year. When this opportunity presented itself I was not sure if I was ready yet, having never fasted before. I nearly chickened out at the last minute, but with a little nudging decided to go through with it and I am thankful that I did. I learned that live foods are divinely delicious. I also learned that I am more disciplined that I realized. My body did not experience much discomfort. My mind does seem clearer. My ability to focus on work and reading seems better. I regret that my schedule did not permit me to attend the morning yoga classes. I believe yoga would have made a big difference in my experience of the week (for the good). All in all, I feel inspired to leave behind certain poor health choices I'd been making regularly before this week. If I can give up consuming food everyday for a week, I can give up unhealthy choices.

Dear Khepere,

First, I want to say, 'Thank You,' for hosting the Mojo Summer Urban Renewal Detox. I'm still riding high one week after breaking our 6-day juice and water fast. What a remarkably positive experience! I've done two- and three-day fasts in the past, but this was the most effective (and longest) fast I have ever done.

I never felt hungry or deprived, nor did any of my usual cravings creep up. In fact, five days into the fast, I went out with friends and was not at all tempted to join them as they shamelessly flaunted their enjoyment of salads, pizza, hot wings, etc. :) The coconut water you introduced to us is a magical elixir. I was a little concerned that I might have trouble with the two days of only coconut water, but those two days were as easy to get through as the others.

Frankly, I was a little sad that we had to break the fast after 6 days because I was feeling so good. I could have continued for another week, or more. My energy increased significantly; I required less sleep; I lost several pounds and felt lighter, yet physically stronger. My usual morning mucus cleared up. The early morning yoga helped my flexibility and those annoying mild aches vanished. It was also very helpful to be part of a very supportive and caring group and to come together throughout the week to share our experiences during the fast. Finally, the live food feast both before and after the fast was absolutely delectable.

Again, thank you for bringing us a safe, sane and satisfying way to fast. This has been the best $250 I've spent all year! I will definitely join you again for another detox session soon.

Peace and blessings,

Rene' B.
