Fifteen days.
It sounds like a countdown to something hard — but in truth, it’s a countdown to freedom.

On August 23rd, we step into the fast together. Not as a test of willpower, but as a way of returning to the body’s original rhythm — the one that existed before sugar, before schedules, before the noise.

These next two weeks are not just waiting time. They’re preparation time.
Every fast begins before the first missed meal. The body and the mind both need a gentle, intentional winding down.

 
What to Do in These 15 Days
1. Lighten the load.
Start reducing processed foods, sugars, and heavy oils now. It’s like clearing the trail before the hike — the climb will be smoother.

2. Hydrate like it’s your job.
Pure water is the quiet teacher of fasting. Get in the habit before the fast begins.

3. Adjust your mind.
A fast isn’t starvation. It’s a chosen emptiness — a sacred pause that lets the body repair and the spirit listen.

4. Rest more.
Your body will do deep work during the fast. Give it extra sleep now, so you don’t enter depleted.

 
Why We Count Down
Fasting is not just the act of not eating — it is the art of arriving empty.
The countdown gives the mind time to drop its fear, the body time to trust, and the spirit time to lean forward into the unknown.

Fifteen days from now, we will not begin with force.
We will begin with readiness.
