Tremendously excellent!!
A water fast mixed with spiritual enlightenment changed my life for the better in so many ways. Kendra the host/spiritual advisor is an excellent person to spend your 21 days with. Her physical, mental and spiritual support was non stop and unwavering. Spending this time on a beautiful yaught with large windows everywhere to view this wonderful marina on Portage Lake. I had visits with a stellar shamon, a very competent chiropractor, the best yoga instructor and a world class spa. You will enjoy ridding bikes, arts and crafts, massage, laying on the beach and swimming in a beautiful lake. I had
several health issues that are now completely resolved. Do this for yourself, I sure am glad I did.
