PR 07 GROUP WITH MASKS MASKS ON
The masks were wild and beautiful. Every night we created beauty offerings
for our evening circle and processes - so beyond beautiful to gather after a
rich and full day and offer gratitude...often our entry into the evening sacred
circles was a welcome with anointing fragrance....we created a world of loving intelligence and conscious community. Farida

IRIS FROM ICELAND - ND STUDENT
I want to thank you so much for the wonderful experience I had in
Puerto Rico. You are a master of creating beauty. Every evening was
an adventure in it self. I admire you for everything you did
while we were there. I feel the dances grow on you
the more you do them as you realize how good they are for you.
I am very pleased I let my self have this experience. It is
certainly the best thing I ever did for myself. Love from Iris (Iris is such a loving part of SNM in Iceland - we swim in hot springs!)
GITTE, SNM ICELAND DIRECTOR SHARES PR EXPERIENCE
Puerto Rico and the Ann Wigmore Institute Living Food Lifestyle as well as
the transformational healing processes with Farida were wonderful - and
surprising in many ways. Throughout I felt a deep inner sense of“Everything
is right in my world” and that sense has stayed with me … and may it continue
to be so for a long, long time still!
The purpose of my trip was threefold:
Learning and experiencing the Living Food Lifestyle as taught by Dr. Ann
Wigmore and to do a healing retreat with Farida Sharan, my teacher of
natural medicine. But most of all is was for myself: A much needed time-out
to deeply rest, recover and rebuild my health. I did all of that in those
two weeks and am continuing with the Living Foods Lifestyle after returning
home, knowing beyond doubt the difference it makes in how I feel – and my
body feels!
Everyone there were Farida’s students and it is one of the most harmonious
groups I have ever been with and was one of the reasons
the retreat healed and rejuvenated me as deeply as it did.
TYPICAL DAY
The day starts around 5.30 - 6 am with the daily shot of wheatgrass –
and for some of us smearing wheatgrass foam on our faces (it´s good for the
skin) AND we look beautifully green! After that I meditated before going
to Mystic Yoga class with Farida at 7am.
Farida's Mystic Yoga is a form of movement to music with an intense internal
focus that takes you through profoundly deep levels of inner experiences and
realizations - some of them quite dramatic emotional healing, others quietly
undulating shifts of energy and inner reality. The Mystic Yoga also takes
you through your birth spiral and revisits many of the early developmental
brain areas to reinforce their proper functioning.
After Mystic Yoga was silent breakfast, often at the ocean, followed by
classes in the Living Food Lifestyle, theory and practice. Classes were
about wheatgrass, enemas and implants, rejuvelac, sauerkraut, sprouting,
composting, indoor gardening, food combining, eating technique (very
important), the digestive system, abnormal and normal colon and contents,
and food preparation classes – we made a to-die-for raw pizza!
After lunch we had the afternoon off until classes again at 4pm (first week
only). I spend the afternoons going to beach – BLISS -, then doing my enema and
wheatgrass implant, getting and receiving healing bodywork, followed by
dinner at 5:30 pm.
We met again at 7pm for the evening’s beauty offering, circle, elemental
dances and other transformational movement processes with Farida until
around 9pm. Farida’s teaching of the elements, the movements and energies,
are deeply transformational. Several times, both in the morning Mystic Yoga
and in the evenings elemental dances I experienced my body taking over the
healing process and releasing deeply-beyond-words. It was processes without
content, my mind was no part of it and I loved what I experienced in the
letting go, being with whatever my body did. And then it was time for bed.
FOOD
The food was created to cleanse and rebuild. The first week
we had three days of blended foods, the second week one day, to help our
digestive system recover from a lifetime of abuse.
Energy soup – a major component of the Living Food Lifestyle - was served at
all meals and in the end I came to love the way it made my body feel and
also to love the taste. Throughout I drank rejuvelac, and coconut water and
watermelon juice when that were offered at mid-morning and mid-afternoon.
Otherwise our meals consisted of blended sprouted grains for breakfast and
salads with sauerkraut and dressings and the occasional cracker or
vege-burger or rollie for lunch and dinner – and then of course our pizza!
I will be teaching the Living Food classes in the Iceland School of Natural
Medicine and look forward to sharing the information, supporting others to
learn the lifestyle and being a continuing living example of the truth of
this path. Gitte
