In thanking you both I really don't even know where to start... so much happened in 10 days and is still happening as a result... The fasting was great and was only part of the whole experience. You enabled things to happen that I wouldn't have believed possible prior to my stay, you are truly wonderful, knowledgeable and giving people. Perhaps most importantly is the fact you both have an ability to look on all situations with acceptance and love.

Thank you for providing an amazing experience that I will never forget... I am still amazed at how much things can change for the better in such a short time! :) It is hard to put into words all the things that I came together as a result of our time in Nelson.quote

It is great to feel clean both inside and out. Knowing that my physical health had been neglected for many years, I had wanted to experience fasting for many years. It was not until I found Pujjis did I feel comfortable and safe enough to give it a go. The setting is beautiful - soaking in the hot tub under the stars, sweating in the sauna looking out at the trees. I really felt myself unwind and come back to life. Arvind and Jane, in your straightforward way made the whole process easy - thank you. I not only learnt about my body and my health but about myself and I know that what I learnt will benefit other parts of my life, not just my health. quote

Thank you for a lovely time - I actually relaxed!! Beautiful surroundings, long walks, wonderful food, lovely people. I shall remember this experience for a very long time. I really did have a lovely time, and when I tell people of my trip to New Zealand, it is definitely up there amongst the highlights! quote
