Cultivate Balance

Unlike other cleanses, which can be very harsh on the body, ultimately leaving you weaker than when you began, The Reset for Resilience is designed to enhance your strength and energy by offering your body deep nourishment. This is a cleanse that actually tastes good and feels good while you’re doing it. You will feel nourished and satiated throughout your day, rather than hungry and depleted. Preparation is fast, easy and affordable, and you won’t ever be so hungry that you feel anxious or unable to function in your daily life. The intelligence of The Reset for Resilience is that it eases you into healthy and sustainable eating habits that will feel great in your body, while supporting a deeper relationship to self.

Although a kitchari cleanse is great throughout the year, it especially beneficial at the junction between seasons (Summer to Fall, Winter to Spring). It is also very supportive during potentially stressful moments of life transitions, whenever you need a quick reset, anytime you want to get digestion or nutrition back on track (i.e after the holidays), and when recovering from illness. You'll have lifetime access once you join, so you can come back to the Reset for Resilience again and again. The Reset for Resilience is designed to include just 5 days of committed cleansing, with a full 21 days of engagement with the process. For optimal results, make sure that you have enough time and space to commit to all the (luxurious) components of gentle cleansing, including a week of preparation beforehand and a week of mindfully transitioning afterward. The Reset for Resilience can be completed on your own schedule, or you can join us for group cleanses in October and April of each year.

In the first 9 days of preparation, you will simplify your diet to focus on fresh produce, whole grains, organic proteins and nourishing fats. During the 5 days of intentional cleansing, you will enjoy kitchari, warm broth, and fresh juices. Kitchari, akin to porridge made from basmati rice, mung dal, spices and ghee. Eating kitchari is an ancient method used to reset digestion — the foundation of radiant health — and to gently detoxify your entire body. To complete this cleanse, you’ll simply follow the meal guide to know exactly what to eat when. In the 7-day reintegration phase (aka Post Cleanse Journey), you will slowly reintroduce foods by beginning with the easiest to digest and working toward higher allergen potential foods...listening to your body along the way. We will offer the information. We will guide you through the different phases of re-introducing foods.

Cultivate Balance provides the meal guides, recipes and shopping lists, but does not provide the food, herbs or optional self care tools. We do our best to have a low environmental impact, which means limiting the amount of packaging/shipping we do. We encourage you to access the freshest ingredients, by sourcing them locally yourself. This also enables you to customize your meal plan to exactly what will feel best your body.

You will have access to this entire program for six months from the day that you enroll. Included in that six month period is the opportunity to join the biannual guided group Reset with Molly and Sierra. Guided group programs run in the Fall and Spring each year. If you prefer, you are welcome to guide yourself through the program on your own time. Check the countdown to know exactly when the next guided opportunity will be.

It is possible to complete The Resilience Reset without taking time off work, but we find that the cleanse is much more generative when our participants have at least a few days to truly unplug and disengage with capitalism. The cleanse portion of the Reset is five days - if possible, plan for at least three of those days to be non-working. If that means utilizing two days of the weekend and taking one official day off work, that is OK. The more you can enable yourself to truly rest during this Reset, the more effective it will be. Because this is a nourishing Reset, you will never be so hungry that you feel anxious or unable to function in your daily life.

Simply put, when we say "collective" we are referring to the greater community that exists outside ourselves — from our families to our fellow global citizens. Understanding that our individual experience is a foundational aspect of caring for others, we offer the perspective that self care is a radical act.

This cleanse is for anyone in relatively stable health who desires a moment of reprieve and feels they could benefit from more lightness and clarity. People with all gender identifications are welcome and encouraged to participate. This cleanse is not recommended for those suffering from any sort of debilitating condition or extreme weakness, as the body will not have enough strength to engage in even gentle detoxification. This cleanse is also not for children under the age of 10, though they may certainly enjoy kitchari along with you.
