Location
Located just 25 minutes from Belfair, Washington, Sahale is an easy drive from Seattle, Tacoma, and the Olympic Peninsula. Embraced by 68 acres of forest and valley, the land holds within its valley a sacred grove of cedars more than 300 years old. The cathedral-like stillness here within this ring of cedars harmonizes with the flow of the Tahuya River, just yards away.
Additional details about the location can be found here: http://www.goodenough.org/
Contact justine@justinedamond.com for more details & registration.
Address and transportation
Closest airport is Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac)
Participants are responsible for making their own way to and from the retreat.
The retreat center is approximately 1 hour 20 mins drive from SeaTac.
The retreat center is located at 2901 NE Tahuya River Rd, Tahuya, WA 98588.
If you are flying in and renting a car, please know that Seattle traffic can be notoriously bad, so it is recommended to arrive off-peak hour and give yourself plenty of time to get there. Driving slightly south via Tacoma is usually recommended.
Once we have the full list of participants confirmed we will help to connect you all and you can find others to car pool with, or we may be able to rent a minivan, although please understand that this will carry a fee to cover the rental.
Preparations
There are no special preparations that need to be done before starting the process but some basic instructions will be sent by email a month before the process begins. Some of the participants decide to change their diet to something "lighter" before the process which assists in the first part of the process but is not mandatory.
The process itself has been created to gradually balance the four bodies - the physical, emotional, spiritual and mental.
Every day in the process
- We meet for a short and easy physical excercise using ancient routines followed by specific breathing excercises and a guided meditation. These are all chosen for their special ability to support and strengthen the mind, body and spirit through the process and post process.
- Every afternoon the group meets again to once again excercise breathing excercises and guided meditations. Every night we also have a sharing circle and some nights we have other group activities.
- During noon time we have different workshops (described below).
- In between workshops/sessions there remains a lot of free time to allow the participants to experience and understand the evolving Self through this very special spiritual process.
- Every night there is a sharing circle and some nights we have other group activities, workshops / classes / films.
- There will be one day of Vipassana.
- You will learn a unique Karma Cleansing Exercise.

The monitored gradual fast is as follows
- A week before the Process the participants are asked to begin a raw food diet, this helps during the deep detox process.
- On the first day of the Process we only eat fruits.
- On the second day just drink juice.
- The third day we only drink water.
- Then we go on almost 4 days of dry fasting.
- For the last days we only drink diluted juices.
Have no fear with regards to the dry fasting. Even though it is completely normal to have some fear, please understand that this is because we have been conditioned to believe that we cannot live without water for more than 3 days. There are very logical reasons for the 4 days of dry fasting, which will be fully explained during the Process. It is generally a very happy surprise when participants find it easier than they initially expected.
