Dear Friends,

W elcome to our “family” and to the Culture of Life that is at the core of the Tree

of Life Experience. At the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, we are dedicated to

helping you enjoy choices in cuisine and lifestyle that inspire and empower your

transition to the Culture of Life. Through our educational programs and your experience here

in our majestic mountain valley of Patagonia, you will learn about the choices that naturally

bring forth optimal health and spiritual joy. You will also experience what thousands of our

guests attest to…a unique, healthy foundation for living, a renewed connection with yourself

and a strong unshakable sense of self-esteem and love for Self and all living beings, as well as

for the living Earth.

There are many ways by which our guests find the Tree of Life:

some people come to enhance and support their already healthy

lifestyles and to ensure their healthy futures; some are seeking more

joy, peace and a deeper soul connection to the Divine; while others

simply wish to experience the joy of a vegan vegetarian spiritual

retreat that is in alignment with their personal lifestyle. There are

also those who are suffering the results of years of damaging lifestyle

and dietary choices, and visit out of their need to address a serious,

life-threatening illness. They may also feel a lack of joy and peace, a

separation from love and Self, and a disconnection from the experience of the soul. Still others

are experiencing environmental stress and degradation first-hand in the form of chemical

imbalances and toxicity, and while they may not be diagnosed, they have very little energy

and enthusiasm for life.

Taking shade under our tree means having a place to rejuvenate, to rest the body, mind,

and soul, and to escape the chaos of the world. This new way of living, with a foundation

of compassionate action and conscious eating, consistently nourishes one’s being with the

pleasure, happiness, inner peace and love that is our divine birthright.

We invite you with love to embrace and enjoy the Tree of Life Experience, and to join us

in reconnecting with the Culture of Life. However you choose to experience our Center,

whether through a personal or family vacation, an apprentice program, a workshop or

specific training, you are making the choice to improve, maintain or enhance your health,

and are creating a foundation for lifelong joy, health and happiness. We celebrate you and

your journey to wellness and spiritual pleasure!

Blessings,

Gabriel & Shanti Cousens

T H E T R E E O F L I F E R E J U V E NAT I O N C E N T E R is an ecologically based health and spiritual center and community dedicated to the awakening of consciousness through worldwide educational, humanitarian activities and specialized retreat programs. The Center, located on 174 pristine acres in the exquisite high-desert mountains of Patagonia, AZ, is indeed an oasis for life: We are the only center in the world offering 100 percent organic, live-food, plant-source cuisine, much of which is cultivated on our own land, which borders the Coronado National Forest and flows from the majestic 6,300-foot Red Mountain. The Patagonia Mountains are majestic, yet calming and very peaceful, and offer spectacular views of the water valley as well as breathtaking walking and hiking trails. The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center is a sanctuary for spiritual healing that inspires openness and awakening. People from 89 countries have taken shade under our Tree; they have touched its earth, breathed its pure air, and reconnected to life in new and unimaginable ways–always with soul-enriching experiences.

Expansive, clear skies and majestic star-filled nights are a stunning backdrop for a healing and educational community that features:

• Meditation Temple

• Live-Food Café

• The Tree of Life Spa

• Non-chlorinated swimming pool and hot tubs

• Ecologically sound strawbale lodging

• Awakened Living Shoppe

The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center is natural and purposefully simple. We celebrate living close to the earth and remain intentionally “back-to-nature” with dirt roads, pathways, and minimal artificial lighting. Our guests enjoy comfortable year-round weather in our tranquil and natural setting. During the summer months of July-September, Patagonia, Arizona, is regularly 8-15 degrees cooler than Tucson or Phoenix, an enjoyable year-round climate.

PILGRIMAGE…TO YOURSELF

“Food is a love note from God. Its letters are written by the sunrays, saying ‘I shall take care of you with the offerings of my Earth.’” Gabriel Cousens, M.D.

CULTURE OF L IFE RETREATS & WORKSHOPS

SPIRITUAL AND YOGA FASTING RETREATS

The New York Times calls Gabriel Cousens, M.D. “A fasting guru.” This 10-Day revitalizing spiritual Juice Fast renews body and soul, and reconnects you to your inner truth and sacred design! Continual support is provided by Gabriel Cousens and Shanti GoldsCousens, who have experience guiding thousands of fasters worldwide. Includes Shaktipat meditation, Kali Ray TriYoga®, spiritual Q&A, chanting, sweat lodge (weather permitting), organic green juice, and support for breaking the fast with live-food meals.

DETOXIF ICATION & CLEANSING FASTS

Harper’s Magazine says we are “One of the world’s ten best detoxification retreats!” Our 10, 17, and 24-day packages enliven every cell in your system! Fresh organic green juice, innovative, non-invasive cleansing technologies, and the natural way of yoga and meditation turn on the genes for youth and euphoria. The plan allows the body’s innate wisdom to restore beauty and balance through a variety of massage therapies, oxygen-enhanced rebounding, air-and-sun bathing, ozone therapies, hydrotherapy, infrared sauna, colon therapies, nature walks and more. Toxins are removed from reproductive cells, and we experience weight reduction and rejuvenation. Includes some individually designed support. Starts every Tuesday!

REVERSING DIABETES NATURALLY

The Tree of Life Reversing Diabetes Naturally 21-Day + Program is a medical breakthrough for successful treatment of diabetes. With more than 35 years of professional experience in reversing diabetes naturally, Dr. Gabriel Cousens offers you this important and highly effective program that traces its origins to the 1920s when medical doctor Max Gerson facilitated, world-renowned medical doctor, Albert Schweitzer’s full recovery from diabetes using live foods. The Tree of Life Reversing Diabetes Naturally Program’s success is based on two important steps. First, we show you how to stabilize physiology by applying our present and advanced understanding of live foods, green-juice fasting, and anti-diabetes supplementation. At the Tree of Life, guests with Type 2 diabetes are regularly able to eliminate the use of insulin and oral hypoglycemic medications within one to four days, with the majority returning to a blood sugar level below 100 by the end of the three-week program.

The challenge begins in step two. The ultimate stabilization of the reversal of Type 2 Diabetes requires transitioning from the lifestyle habits of what we call the “Culture of Death,” which caused the disease, to the health-supporting habits of a person dedicated to healthy world cuisine and the “Culture of Life” that we teach here at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center. The Culture of Death is a lifestyle and diet that brings forth disease, a lack of joy, separation from love, disconnection from the experience of the soul, and destruction of the environment, while the Culture of

Life causes health and pleasure in all levels, including a strong sense of self-esteem and love for the Self and the living planet.

Our one-year follow up program is specifically designed to address the needs of people recovering from diabetes, and is successful depending on the client’s commitment to embracing the principles and cuisine of the Culture of Life. This is a cutting-edge program that can help you save your life and avoid the negative long-term effects of diabetes-related illness. However, you must be ready to choose and commit to a healthy cuisine and lifestyle.

• 7-day or 14-day green-juice fast under close medical supervision

• Zero Point Course to help eliminate attachments to poor dietary and lifestyle choices, and to open yourself to love

• Conscious Eating Course that trains and teaches World Cuisine for the Culture of Life

• One Year Follow-up Program

ZERO POINT PROCESS INTENSIVE

Awaken from the dream of a separate “self” so that you may live without fear in the chaos of the world and embrace your true destiny! In this extraordinary training program you will learn how to turn off the mind and become free from unhealthy habits and negative emotions, self-images, and phobias, allowing you to reconnect with the authentic Self. This course is part of the Six Foundations for Spiritual Life, which prepare you to hold the grace of liberation and open you to living in the pleasure of the Divine Presence.

This 4-day, all-day, intensive course taught by world-recognized spiritual teacher Gabriel Cousens, who trained as a psychiatrist and family therapist, is Gabriel’s approach to Jnana Yoga–Yoga of the Mind. It can bring us to direct knowing and clarity that “the personality is a case of mistaken identity.” Learn how to let go of the mind’s addictive emotional patterns, obsessions, and thought forms! Live in celebration and experience the non-causal joy, inner contentment, and bliss of who we are!
