Radiant Health Is Your Birthright!
At The Raw Retreat we invite you into our home to experience living a Raw Vegan life. We are your hosts, Wyn Matthews and Cynthia Waring Matthews, and we’ve been investigating and discovering what creates well-being for more than 30 years. We love sharing what we’ve learned! We offer intimate Raw Vegan retreats in a spacious home overlooking the beautiful Ojai valley. You get hands-on life experience you can immediately apply in your own daily life.
How do we work with you?
In order to meet your intentions during your stay with us and on your return home, we learn as much as we can about you. We start with a 3-5 day food history and health questionnaire.
We show you the latest research on diet and health. Although much of this information may contradict what you have learned elsewhere, we believe it creates a solid context within which you can make informed choices as you move into your new relationship with food. Our personal experience has shown us the power of the Raw Vegan lifestyle to heal the body and create joyful well-being.
We have seen in ourselves and our clients that the whole person needs to be detoxified and healed. It’s not just a dietary change.
Almost everyone eats emotionally, medicating themselves with heavy foods that leave them feeling stuffed; medicating themselves with stimulants to uplift their tired spirits, medicating themselves with foods that combine to create poor digestion and poor health.
What’s difficult — and sometimes scary — is that when we no longer eat to “fill-up the anxious hole,” we begin to feel feelings we’re unaccustomed to. NOW WHAT?
It’s at this point that people changing their diet tend to slide — or run — back to their old way of eating — the way of eating they’ve developed over a lifetime to keep those feelings beyond their awareness….
At The Raw Retreat, Wyn and Cynthia and their dedicated staff work with you to explore those feelings and integrate them in ways that move you toward your intentions and goals.
Wellness includes body, mind, emotions and spirit. During your retreat, we introduce you to tools and practices that open up these energies — simple tools you can take home: qigong, journaling, dream-work, meditation and council. *
We show you how to monitor your body’s signals regarding toxicity and health. We show you how to monitor your alignment with dietary healing and living principles.
This is a journey of discovery. A journey of uncovering your own path through the thicket of misinformation, marketing lies and eating and living based on addictions. With good information, tools and support, you can make changes and monitor the results — giving you the experience and courage to make further changes.
You CAN reach your desired health goals! We can show you how.
