We created a  juice fasting program with the added benefits of yoga, meditation, alternative therapies and the salt water yoga kriyas - this involved drinking two liters of salt water by 8AM, followed by three liters of fresh water before noon. It was very effective, but tough. Many people could not take the salt water, and many others could not consume so much water in such a short period. I got used to it so much and really liked it.

After some time, we became aware that Norway was not the ideal place to do fasting and purification programs - too cold. Even in southern Norway we could have snow on the ground in May. We wanted to be further South - in a warmer climate. So, for a while, Anne Karine settled in Spain and I in Portugal.  I was also traveling around giving workshops and conducting fasting programs in various places and countries. However, after a while I joined Anne Karine in Spain. But we could not find the right place there and we were guided to settle in Portugal.

In Portugal, we were guided to to establish our centre at Moinhos Velhos ("the old mill") near Barragem da Bravura in the Algarve.
