From JuiceFastForPeace.com:
The world is at war on many levels. Chronic disease is on the rise. Violence pervades the Middle East. Animal agriculture is taking a devastating toll on ecosystems everywhere. Economic exploitation has become business as usual. Earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and other symptoms of climate change are becoming daily occurrences. Every twenty minutes another specie of plant or animal becomes extinct. Every year, 15 million children die of hunger. Proponents of genetically modified foods claim that they can solve this crisis, while hiding data about the destructive effects of these elements on human health and environments. These statistics paint a dark picture, but there is hope.
Enter New York City’s Juice Fast for Peace
For thousands of years mystics from all traditions have taught that we can change our world by changing ourselves. While an individual may impact his or her country by changing his own consciousness, a group of individuals have the power to change the entire planet.
This Summer a group of dedicated people, from all walks of life, will unite to positively effect the state of the world, but simply turning within by fasting, by dancing, and by meditating.
Gabriel Cousens has chosen New York City, as the hub of the world, as the place where this ripple of peace and harmony will begin. On June 13, at Organic Avenue, The Space of LOVE, on Suffolk Street, a weeklong inner adventure will challenge these individuals to create peace on the earth by becoming peace. Through live juice fasting, our group will undergo immense physical and spiritual healing, reduce their carbon footprint by 80%, and send out a wave of peace from Manhattan Island to envelope the globe.
Throughout the week Gabriel will offer his insights and wisdom gleaned throughout his thirty-five years of fasting experience. He will be on hand to offer support, encouragement, and education, particularly on the value of a plant-source diet.
Parashakti will facilitate her Dance of Liberation, designed to offer healing and emergence to the fasters, as well as fuse their energy into a collective force for transformation.
Each night will culminate in shaktipat meditation, in which Gabriel will offer himself as a vehicle for divine grace, as a lineage holder in the Nityananda tradition. During this offering Gabriel will receive and transmit to each faster a call for the awakening of their spiritual force, called kundalini in the yogic traditions.
The combination of these powerful techniques will facilitate a profound transformation in the mind, body, and spirit of each individual participating in the Juice Fast for Peace. This change will reverberate throughout the world to heal and restore the life of the planet. We invite you to join this historic and awe-inspiring event by registering at JuiceFastForPeace.com.
“When you fast, the Light will illuminate you and spread on Earth.” – Mahatma Gandhi
