Juice fasts and colonics. Fire ceremonies and sound baths. Walking meditation through a holy labyrinth. Learning to Dream Awake. In this episode Sheri and Nancy take it to the desert for an inside look into their six-day detox and spiritual retreat at WeCare Spa in Desert Hot Springs.

A big part of their DreamQuest is, after all, a commitment to radical self care and transformation. What better way to stay true to that goal than to give it over to the experts: WeCare founder Susana Belen and her daughter Susan Lombardi, co-owners and visionaries of the WeCare wellness program that integrates Body, Mind, and Spirit.

Sheri and Nancy have conversations with Susana (who at 80 practices yoga and dances every day) and Susan (50+, gorgeous and vibrant), and the insights and revelations they share are mind blowing. This mother-daughter team is an inspiration to women everywhere on how to revere your body and cherish your spirit. And Sheri and Nancy share revelatory moments of their own. Nancy may be on her way to becoming a shaman, and both plan to learn reiki, the art of healing touch. Listen in as they describe the magic and miracles of their desert detox.
