Eight days of green smoothies by Victoria Boutenko and
The Work of Byron Katie, presented by Tom Compton

April 24th (Saturday) to May 1st (Saturday), 2010

Please join us for an international Joy for Life retreat in Thailand. Chao Lao Beach is located in a beautiful region of Chanthaburi, right next to the ocean. April is peak fruit season in Thailand, especially for durians. We are planning to serve a lot of ripe organic fruit along with delicious organic green smoothies.

The Joy for Life Retreat is a unique combination of physical rejuvenation and effective stress-reduction technique. Throughout the week you are given the opportunity to participate in group workshops focused on The Work of Byron Katie and facilitated by Tom Compton. Tom is also available for one on one consultation. By applying the principals of The Work consistently over a week, you are able to deeply immerse yourself in the process.

While experiencing this transformation of thought, you will also experience physical nourishment by drinking green smoothies 4 times a day, along with trays of fresh organic fruit. Victoria, Sergei, and Valya Boutenko will teach classes daily. They will give talks on nutrition, their research, and experiences with the raw diet and of course green smoothies.

The retreat starts in Bangkok on April 24th and concludes in Bangkok at 3:00 p.m. on May 1st.
