Dao has been leading water & juice fasting retreats for 25 years throughout the world.
At the age of 16 he left school with a call for creative freedom and arrived in Asia seeking what was calling. He studied Tai Chi & Chi Gong in Taiwan and opened his mind to the physical body. His explorations led him to learn about raw foods and the ancient practices used to cleanse the system – fasting, and their modern adaptations – colonics, etc.
What interested him the most with fasting was how the regimen affected his immune system and physical body. He was inspired by the ways in which the body began to adapt and shine in ways he had not yet experienced through any other modalities. This became the inspiration to continue his learnings to lead him to where he is today.
“Personally, the real love of my life to date, which motivates me from dawn to dusk, and shines through in the talks, is a lived sense that our lives are not about work, TV or sense-pleasure, but that our existence is profound in its nature. This is fuelled and fed by all the practices I have encountered: The psychological effects of moving meditations, the neurological influence of diet, and the therapeutic use of psychotropics on relieving trauma and establishing a more authentic expression in life.”
