Congratulations for starting the journey into Infinite Vitality!
Alchemical Cleanse & Rebuild 12 Week Group Practice: 13th of January – 7th of April 2021, 1:00pm ET
We’re living in very exciting and transformational times and as part of this we’re all individually and collectively letting go of a lot of mental, emotional and physical baggage.
This alchemical 12-week group practice is here to remind us about what we already know in our hearts, bodies, soul, spirit and minds: we already have all the answers within us; we are the answer when we allow ourselves to be in harmony and balance.
This powerful group work will see us from the beginning of the calendar year in January, until the beginning of the astrological new year at the end of March: providing a potent incubator to start our new year with wholeness and alchemical embodiment of our true selves.
It is put and held together with an intention to bring peace, clarity, lightness, thriving, empowerment, alignment, wholeness, inspiration and support into our day to day lives. This group process is an alchemical cauldron of possibilities and we are so grateful to be able to offer it to our wider community!
Through all of us being here together, we’re going to bring a lot more wisdom, harmony, efficiency and effectiveness into being more in the flow, in balance, in thriving.
We all have the capacity and potential to be 100% in harmony with Nature, so rather than having a major part of our energy wasted, in friction, exhaustion, tiredness and inflammation, we allow and align ourselves, learning how to model it, to be more in communion with it.
The greatest source of striving and vitality comes from being in harmony with Nature, in a frictionless flow of oneness with all aspects of our mind, body and emotions, and the universe. With enthusiasm we welcome you to this potent protocol. Over the following 12-weeks we encourage you to liquid fast on fresh organic juices, smoothies, teas, soups and mostly raw, easily prepared meals to allow you to liberate the life-force within. The cleanse is modular, so you can easily adapt it to your lifestyle and the intensity of cleanse you are up for. The meals will be guided in our practical sessions, and full ingredient lists with variations provided in advance.
This course is built to provide the greatest value at the most affordable price point for as many people as possible!
During this immersion we will be:
Incorporating the wisdom of the elements - the medicine wheel - into all we are and do. Uniting the intelligence of the mind with the body, transcending a situation where we get stuck in our intellect and in polarized concepts, helping us move from our minds to our heart.
Understanding that the most simple and small things are always the most powerful;
Explore the infinite power of fruit and how it can help in detoxing processes, washing up the mental and physical blockages allowing joy and happiness to rise. Adapted to and designed for winter season.
Learning that the journey is 99% about UNlearning!
We will help you understand why your body is blocked and constipated and the energy trapped, accompanying you in the process of removing these obstructions and finding a balance point. “Only by questioning everything, does one open up to the potential for infinite possibilities and experience the great mystery.”
Become a lot more confident and radiant in our beings, in our lives and in our kitchens!

About the Facilitators
Joel and Aiste Gazdar are wellbeing pioneers, conscious entrepreneurs and plant-based alchemists leading a movement of transforming humanity’s relationship with food. They are authors of the innovative plant based and wellbeing book “WILD: Plant Based Recipes & Rituals to Nourish your Wild Essence” (Penguin, Random House 2019).
In 2011 they founded their first Wild Food Cafe in London, UK as a culmination of their work and long-term interest in integral practices of nourishment and wellbeing. It has grown to become an iconic oasis of a new generation of delicious, innovative and nourishing raw-centric plant-based food in the centre of the city: a beacon of community, wellness and innovation. Wild Food Cafe has received numerous accolades for its culinary achievements, creativity and commitment to quality and seasonality by local and international media including BBC, CNN, The Evening Standard, Huffington Post and others; and has been recently voted as the best raw food restaurant in the world by American Express; featured among top 5 plant-based Paleo restaurants in London by Vogue, and among 9 best vegetarian restaurants by The Handbook.
Since then Joel and Aiste have been instrumental in crafting the recipes of Wild Food Cafe, leading the team of professional plant-based chefs and hospitality experts and building an online and offline community of the wild wellbeing tribe. Alongside this, for the last 8 years they have been guiding thousands of students from all over the world into upgrading their plant-food skillsets in the practical raw food and wellbeing immersions, retreats, training courses, cleanses and workshops. Combined, they have over 35 years of personal and professional experience in integral practices of wellbeing, including multiple modalities of plant-food, herbalism, nutrition, cleansing, astrology, yoga and other holistic movement and personal development practices. Their inter-disciplinary training brings a wealth of knowledge and a sense of all-inclusivity, playfulness, ease and integration of varying (complementary, although at times seemingly contradictory) approaches to nourishment and wellness.
Joel & Aiste are students of Maestro Manuel Rufino and have been fortunate enough to travel in all four directions and have been apprenticed to many traditional peoples of knowledge from different cultures of the world, from Ayurveda in India, Tibetan and traditional Chinese medicine, European herbalism, African herbalism and the global shamanic cornucopia and plant medicines of South and North America.
