During Integral Cleanse you'll have three live video sessions with Umā and other program participants. They will take place on the following dates, with timing to be determined later:

— Sat., March 29 (the day before the cleanse begins)

— Fri., April 4

— Sat., April 12

These sessions will also be recorded for you to revisit later or catch up if you miss one.

 During the calls Umā will discuss the Ayurvedic foundations of the Integral Cleanse method and how to follow it with care. You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions that have arisen for you during the cleanse.

 Plan for each session to last 60 to 90 minutes. You can check for the time in your location at this link .

The three live sessions will be recorded, with the recording provided to all Integral Cleanse participants. If you know you can't attend and have a question you want to ask, you can ask it in advance in the private online community to be addressed during the call.

In addition to the three live calls, a private online community is provided for support and integration of your Integral Cleanse experience. Before the cleanse begins you'll be invited into a group on the Telegram app. In this conversation thread, important information will be shared by Umā, you can ask questions of her, and you can integrate your experience of Integral Cleanse with other participants.

This group will be opened before the cleanse begins and held open for some days after the program ends so you can fully integrate. Please be sure to add the Telegram app to your mobile device and/or computer upon registering for this program.

Ideally register as early as you can so you have plenty of time to prepare for the journey ahead. The final day to reserve your place for the next Integral Cleanse is March 25, 2025.
