TESTIMONIALS

About The Fresh Start Retreat

If you are looking for a non invasive, yet very effective cleanse retreat. Kumara Sakti is the place to do it! The retreat center is an absolute "jewel in the jungle"! Everywhere you look you are treated to lush greenery, flowers and peaceful fountains. My time at Kumara Sakti was a joyful journey within - a great way to detox with other like-minded people who understand the value of a cleansing program. Mark Ament is a top match professional who made my retreat one of the most memorable I've ever done. His experience and wisdom gave me the encouragement and inspiration to do things I would normally not try. His wife Gabrielle was wonderful too - I loved it all!

My experience at the fresh start cleansing retreat exceeded my expectations. It was a total fresh start for my mind, body & soul. Because of Mark and Gabrielle I feel ready to begin a new chapter with new knowledge, confidence and especially new friends. What amazing people you are, Mark & Gabrielle. You are great at what you do and are a real gift to help people! Thank you so much..

A Blessing! Mark is a fountain of knowledge and Gabrielle the perfect addition. It was simply incredible and i felt supported throughout the entire retreat, surrounded by sooo much Love.

Dessie, Switzerland

Whilst sort of prepared for the herbal detox & radical change in diet, I was pleasantly surprised  at the holistic approach to general well being and a nurturing environment in which to explore spiritual & esoteric ideas. Well out of the realm of your typical "Aussie bloke". Not only do I feel much better physically & mentally, this retreat has helped me to break some addictions, which I could not at home. Thank you Mark, Gabrielle & the team for making me aware of a whole new approach possible for life.

In a word: Wow!! Life changing and LIVE LIFE Inspiring!

The retreat itself was an overall great experience! A deep dive for myself in an unknown world to me -spiritual + energizing! Mark & Gabrielle made this retreat so special with their kind attention and ability to integrate people with different backgrounds and mindsets. Thanks for this great program - set in a perfect environment and hidden between rice fields - a beautiful and peaceful place where you can just BE!

Just wanted to say "thanks" again for your very able and sensitive leadership on the retreat.  I think the weeks I spent represented one of the best trips and events In my experience.  Week 2 was much more mellow and consolidated all of the lessons I was learning in week 1.  I have come home much more emotionally relaxed and together! And yes, I nearly puked when I tried to eat a hamburger... fish still agrees with me though.   I hope the new sense of food remains with me.  Again, thank you.

Mark, Canada

Just wanted to say again, thanks so much for such an inspiring week. I know i didnt give much away (something im working on--being more open!), but the information I took away from this has been life changing. Im really excited to share all this new knowledge and actually have already started--my friend has metatstic melanoma, he already does juicing, but I have given him my notebook and he's looking into the raw food now, which is great. Also, my work mate who is trying to have a baby and has had many rounds of IVF is also in touch with your website now.   And of course, for myself to start on a new path. I feel so energised and really want to keep that feeling going ( I did my Quigong this morning even though I didnt get to bed until 230am and it felt great!) It was so much by chance I picked this retreat--but obviously everything happens for a reason! :)  Thank-you

Zoe, Australia

Thank you for a very special week. We are leaving feeling special and re energized and looking forward to venturing into the world of raw food when we get home. All the best for your future.

About Mark's Other Retreats, Courses and Articles

Your retreat was....beautiful, healing, and comforted my soul which was very tired at the time. Since then, I have left almost all the unsupportive things I was doing, as well as friendships that were draining. In a word your course was "divine." The only thing--it was too short!

Maria Pilar Estevez, Spain

Something really shifted and clarified in me through the work I did during your course. Months after the course, I still have much more energy and am materializing my dreams: I moved into a house in the country, finally began to give Reiki sessions and I started studying NLP. I'm looking forward to the next course.

I really enjoy receiving your newsletters, they contain such valuable information and I have forwarded to a number of likeminded individuals who also have enjoyed your information.

I would like to share my experience how my thyroid and arthritis disappeared just by eating the right kind of food. My body was full of acid, as I used to consume lots of milk products and wheat.
By avoiding the above items, and substituting with fruits and raw vegetables the pain stopped. In fact after changing my lifestyle, I feel more positive and independent, as I know what's happening to my body.

Thanks for all your help.

About the "Ultimate Cleanse"

Hi Mark:
After 7 days I am down 13 lbs and I haven't even gone shopping.
I really almost gave up on trying to lose weight because I had a baby at age 42 and then a hysterectomy a year later and I am going through hormonal imbalances. So I became very discouraged. Doing this Ultimate Cleanse has given me the encouragement to want to eat healthier and to watch some of the junk that I may have eaten previously. I also chew slower and eat smaller portions. I think my stomach is shrinking because I don't want to eat a lot of food anymore.
My co-workers are watching me with this detox and they may be ordering...
Thanks for all your help.

Hi Mark,
Wanted to email to let you know I made it!!!!! Finished the cleanse last night and I feel fantastic, released a huge amount of plaque and lost 3kgs over the 11 days of prep and cleansing.
I'm feeling really positive about my diet change and about my health and wellbeing in general - my husband has even decided to begin a healthy eating and exercise plan - not sure if he'll go as far as completing the cleanse just yet!! Thanks a lot for your support, may you soar in freedom and light.
Blessings,
Nic
