Food

Feast on delicious, meals created from organic foods grown on-site and locally sourced and prepared by our very own chef, Chef Devin. 

At this Retreat we provide food that follows the 4 Bright Lines (or guidelines) of the Bright Line Eating lifestyle:

• No Sugar
• No Flour
• 3 Meals a day (no snacks)
• Weighed & Measured Food

You will tell our Chef what types of foods you eat and he will make sure you have those options.  You do not have to follow this lifestyle to participate, but all food present will comply with the above way of eating.  Even if you don't do Bright Line Eating, you will love the meals and will probably lose a few pounds during the week!

Teachers and Facilitators

Everett Considine’s life has been dedicated to personal growth – both for himself and others. Everett has a diverse background that spans technology, business, spirituality, and psychology. In over 30 years of dedicated meditation and mindfulness practice, he found that Internal Family Systems (IFS) was the missing piece of the puzzle. IFS provides a nuanced language to address the deeper emotional issues that can be easily “bypassed” in many forms of personal growth. In the 12 years, he has been working with IFS, Everett has seen amazing results both in his own life and the lives of his students and clients. He has been teaching classes on meditation and mindfulness for over 30 years and he has been teaching classes in IFS for the last 10 years with a private one-on-one practice as well. He has trained and coached thousands of Bright Lifers and helped them settle peacefully into the program.

• Bestselling co-author of "Rezoom: The Powerful Reframe to End the Crash-and-Burn Cycle of Food Addiction"
• Certified Cross-Cultural Shamanic Practitioner (3-year program)
• Level 3 Certified Internal Family Systems practitioner with over a decade of experience
• Developer and teacher of "The Peaceful Eating Way."

At the core, Everett is a heart-centered systems thinker who can break down and understand complex systems and then explain them to others with ease.

Heather Cole Gatto (Sukrutha) Through teaching classes, workshops, and retreats integrating shamanism, yoga, and art since 2002, Heather has grown into the person she always longed to be.  During this time she has also been serving clients with a private one-on-one practice as a healer and mentor.  In the last year, the tools of Internal Family Systems (IFS) have greatly enhanced her sessions. Her work was deepened even more when she became a mother to her daughter Satya.  Over the last 23 years, her daily meditation practice has cultivated a depth of prayer that is the foundation of all her offerings.

Heather utilizes her ability to see, hear, and feel spirit in order to help others receive the guidance, healing, direction, love, and clarity that they seek. It is her sacred intention to offer herself as a holy hollow vessel, one that brings about help and healing for the highest good and for the greatest joy and upliftment of all.

Her nature is devotional and her calling is to serve with love.
