Pomegranete seeds and Coconut Butter (find at Vitamin Cottage)
Fresh ground Almond Butter (it has a little crunch) with peaches or nectarines and a drizzle of honey doesn't hurt ;) You can get the Almond Butter at Vitamin Cottage (pre ground) or grind it yourself at Whole Foods.

As the days become shorter and the breeze crisper, our human psyche is naturally drawn to prepare our bodies for transition and change. Committing to a seasonal cleansing process is a powerful tool to help us rediscover our relationship with our bodies and explore what nourishes our sense of happiness. As we cleanse our bodies we begin a process that will ultimately shift both our physical and emotional bodies, bringing to surface emotions that feed our reactions and habits. By increasing awareness, we have an opportunity to go deeper and make lasting changes towards improved health. Marie will provide both individual and group opportunities for exploring the emotional and mental changes that can transpire within the cleansing process. She will also provide tools for awakening and understanding the change process.
You Don't Have to Believe Everything You Think...a group share on what is working well and what is challenging within the cleansing process. Marie will also teach a method to help connect with the subtle signs that your body is shifting and changing.
Oct. 25-Nov. 22: Two individual 50 minute consultations that are customized to meet individual goals for participants.
About Marie:
Marie is passionate about integrating traditional psychotherapy with innovative interventions, including mindfulness-based practices, animal-assisted therapy and wilderness therapy. Marie has over twelve years of experience working with individuals, adolescents and families in a variety of settings including residential treatment, therapeutic wilderness programs, equine-assisted therapy, schools and mentoring organizations. In 2001, she earned her MS in Applied Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Stout with a concentration in Health Psychology. Marie holds her MA in Counseling Psychology from Prescott College. Marie lives in Denver and continues to work with a holistic wilderness therapy program to balance her desire for both urban and natural world experiences. When not working, Marie spends her time exploring canyons and mountains, riding her bike, cooking and maintaining her yoga and meditation practices.

Root Yoga Center presents Root Rejuvenation, a uniquely effective approach to whole body detoxification. Board-certified Naturopathic Doctor, Caitlin O’Connor, of All Families Natural Healthhas created a program that focuses on every day whole-foods nutrition as well as education on the body’s systems of elimination and how we can support them in our daily eating habits. Participants will be led through a safe, but powerful, cleansing program. Options to discuss the elimination of potentially allergenic foods are available as well as Vegetarian options. This gentle approach does not rely on harsh laxative or trendy products. Supplements are available to enhance the experience and can be tailored to fit the individual, however they are not required for the program to be successful.
