Our Story
by Frank
Both Anne Karine and I had experienced
first hand the positive results from periods of fasting,
yoga and healthy living. This was the seed that was
planted in our minds, and after some time for germination,
it was time to set up a centre of our own.
We were
in Norway at this time and the Yoga and Health Center
was set up just outside Kristiansand. Here we were offering
juice fasting programs. In addition to our own fasting
experiences, we had also been inspired by the works of
Bernard Jensen and Dr Gerson.
he 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.
