The Reset for Resilience is a tangible action step you can take on behalf of yourself and the collective.
Resilience is cultivated through routine, ritual and rest.
The Reset for Resilience is based in the wisdom of Ayurveda, a framework that is grounded in nature. It acknowledges that, with fractal awareness of how the elements are organized within and around us, we can orient toward deeper connection to ourselves, our communities and the planet in small and big ways.
During the 5 days of cleansing, we will guide you to embody simple Ayurvedic practices, work with the Earth’s elements, and find cadence with nature’s rhythms to weave these keys to resilience into your life. You will leave with small and sustainable personal practices that can be leveraged for collective and planetary wellbeing.
Throughout the program, we will also recommend books and podcasts to engage with during your Reset that inspire you to embody your pleasure and purpose.
The goal is to return home to your body and your innate wisdom so that you are able to co-create a world that invites everyone to thrive.

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 an Ayurvedic 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 or surgery. 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 focused cleansing, you will enjoy Indian soups made from mung dal, spices and ghee, as well as warm broth, spiced apples and fresh juices. 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 more complex and rejuvenative foods...listening to your body along the way. We will guide you through every phase with easy to follow meal plans, recipe guides and checklists. Eating this way is an ancient method used to reset digestion — the foundation of radiant health — and to gently detoxify your entire body.
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. For those ingredients that are difficult to source locally, we provide you with access to an easy-to-order portal + discount to order everything you need. This also enables you to customize your meal plan to exactly what will feel best your body.
Guided group programs run in the Fall and Spring each year. You will have access to this entire program for three months from the day the guided group program begins. If you prefer, you are welcome to guide yourself through the program on your own time, within the three month access period — you'll be guided with a series of emails as well as the course portal.
Because this is a nourishing Reset, you will never be so hungry that you feel anxious or unable to function in your daily life, so you will be able to keep up with your personal responsibilities. So while it is possible to complete The Resilience Reset without taking time off work, we do find that the cleanse is more effective when participants have at least a few days to truly unplug and disengage from the incessant need to be productive. The cleanse portion of the Reset (Part 2) is five days — so 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 perfect! The more you can enable yourself to truly rest during this Reset, the more resilience you will find on the other side.
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 the nourishing recipes along with you.
it's probably time for a reset.
Give yourself the space to rest, reflect and re-invigorate your purpose with the nourishing support of an Ayurvedic Cleanse for Body and Mind.
The Reset for Resilience is a truly holistic experience. In addition to a cleansing and nourishing meal plan, you will also be invited to practice daily self care, mindfulness and awakening to what matters.
The better we feel in our bodies, the more energy and vitality we have to show up for what matters most.
Within the Reset for Resilience, you will experience step-by-step guidance to facilitate your own cleanse (from home!) — in a way that is deeply nourishing, effective, and restorative.
Sierra and Molly will walk you through powerful cleansing techniques, Ayurvedic how-tos and more than ten detailed self care practices that will bring you home to your body.
This Ayurvedic Cleanse for Body and Mind is about care, rather than control. Our protocol offers a gateway to lasting nourishment and gives rise to a deeper connection to self.
It is our greatest hope that you walk away from this reset experience feeling centered, embodied, inspired and motivated to live your purpose.

Read MoreAfter the pandemic, I had been feeling more brain fog and low energy and wanted to switch things up but didn't entirely know how. When I came across this reset, I knew this is what I needed. Days after the 5-day reset and into the reintegration period, my body feels clear and grounded. I'm not feeling reliant on caffeine to get through the days, and my cravings have gone down. I can't say it was an easy journey, but it was an enlightening one, and the support I felt from Molly and Sierra was so helpful. I'd definitely do it again, and would highly recommend this course to others feeling the same.

Read MoreThe 21-day Reset was excellent. It is such a great intro into dosha types, and foods and daily care that support each type. But most of all it walks you through (what initially looks overwhelming) information into daily, and time of day schedules to get a more personal understanding of the information. It was reassuring to see that most of the foods for my dosha type are actually personal preferences. However, there were also self-sabotaging foods that I will remove or limit to times of strong agni. The scheduling for food and self-care have been, and will be, especially helpful to my well-being. It became particularly evident that 'lack of consistency' in my daily schedule may be the most significant drain on my physical and mental health. (Ie. unintentionally skipping meals, and even care) And then the suggested times for rest, reflection and meditation are something I will allow greater space for in my ongoing schedule. My intent each day is to be more aware (throughout the day) of my connection to the Source of All Life (Love), and therefore more aware of our connection to each other, and to all creation. More awe, more wonder, more curiosity. More care and compassion for others and for myself. Thank you ladies for a well-done, well-paced RESET program. jj

Read MoreIt is rare that I take the time to slow down and listen to what my body is asking for. The Reset for Resilience really helped me get to know my body in a new way. Between the rest, intentional eating, and daily rituals I recommend this cleanse for everyone, no matter where you are in your Ayurvedic journey!

Read MoreI completed the Reset for Resilience with such a deep sense of satisfaction, appreciation, and joy. The cleanse portion of the reset challenged me, and on the other side as I am integrating now I honestly feel so grounded and so vital! The process of experiencing the contrast is profound, and opened me up in so many ways. I feel so proud of myself, and a real appreciation for everything that nourishes me. And also a keen awareness of what that means for others navigating different relationships and access to food. The critical thought pieces are key! The guidance and encouragement that Molly and Sierra offered inside the cleanse was so important (and their videos explaining every new self-care technique are so real and accessible..I loved them!). It was amazing/essential to feel the collective support... I think it would have been really challenging to try to do this on my own, but it's so fun to carry the new skills I learned into my everyday life post-cleanse. Thank you so much!!

Read MoreThere’s so much wisdom in this cleanse. My body felt in ways that it hasn’t felt before. I slept well, I felt clarity, my body felt excellent. This is curated for people who really want to move towards health & overall vitality through deeply understanding their own body. Sierra & Molly are the best guides! I would highly recommend!

Read MoreThis reset was such a gift for my body and spirit. I feel nourished, clear-minded and empowered. I'm glad to have new Ayurvedic self-care practices in my toolbox.

I look forward to making this a seasonal ritual.

Read MoreThis reset program helped me to feel much more intentional about my meals, my routines, and my consumption overall. I was able to reflect much more on how food made me feel overall - without feeling depleted, and I was more in tune with how certain situations or input affected my own inner peace. However, when the reset was done, I did fall back into habits that didn’t serve my own inner peace (screen time, nightly wine, etc.) but now I feel like I have a foundation to get back into a ritual that is beneficial for me with this reset. I am definitely going to sign up for the next one in the spring!

Read MoreThis was my first cleanse EVER. Generally, I am extremely cautious about anything involving elimination diets for health reasons. Molly's reassurance and the description of the cleanse as nourishing instead of reductive sold me! I also loved the complete flexibility. I made a point to follow everything as closely as I could, but, as a teacher and horse trainer, life can be a bit hectic at times. Being able to watch recordings of virtual meetings, adjust timing/dates, and incorporate menu modifications allowed me to make time for authentic self-care, reflection, and physical activity. I highly recommend this cleanse - it's perfect for us busy bees and go-getters who tend to be more go than slow!

Read MoreThroughout the Rest for Resilience, I was impressed at how it allowed me opportunities to physically, mentally, and emotionally step back and reflect. I did find it to be a wonderful and thorough reset, while gentle enough to continue with normal life of work and a family with small kids at home. Molly and Sierra were also very present to support throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Read MoreAfter completing The Rest for Resilience program, I am experiencing less bloating in my body, less anxiety and overwhelm, and am overall feeling more grounded and attuned to my body and needs. Molly and Sierra do an excellent job of walking you through it step-by-step and making the practices accessible. They've generously given recipes to use throughout the cleanse as well as post-cleanse that I use regularly. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a way to learn more about your specific body needs and improve your overall well-being!
