“I spent 26 years working for the United Nations during which time I attended hundreds of training, seminars, and retreats. Not a single one can compare to what I experienced during these five short days at Spokane. Life-changing.”  Dr. Marcellin Hepie

2018 Retreat Blessing

“Thank you so much to you and Father John for such an amazing week at the retreat. It was such a blessing to be there, I learned so much, met so many amazing people, and really enjoyed every bit of it. I lost 6 1/2 lbs. while there, and continued to lose when I came home, which is 11 lbs. total by the following week!  I also got full recovery of a frozen shoulder that I had for a long time.”

Pam’s Health Improves!

“Since coming home from the retreat I have had minimal pain in my knee and feet and none most of the time. My doctor took me off of Statin and two pain pills because I don’t need them. My diabetic A1C test was below even the prediabetic range.  I feel so wonderful. I passed the Dementia and Alzheimer’s screening tests with flying colors. Thanks to you and Father John for sharing your knowledge with all of us at the retreat. What a blessing!” -Pam

Alesia’s Healing!

“I read your Juicing for Life book many years ago! I attended your Juice Health Retreat in May of 2015 in Spokane, WA. Your retreat changed my life! I left there feeling great! I lost 10 pounds detoxing. I haven’t stopped juicing since then! I juice daily and drink wheatgrass juice shots! I also eat a raw plant-based diet.

When I came to the retreat, I had chronic multiple health problems. You were gracious enough to give me a scholarship so I could attend. Thank you so much for that. You and Father John changed my life immensely. I no longer have Fibromyalgia. I lowered my liver enzymes and blood sugar to where I no longer need medication. I have healed my body through nutrition. With my passion for health and healing, I entered the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

I will graduate on March 14th, 2017, and will be an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I’m hoping to attend another retreat someday! Thank you for all that you do! I will be forever grateful.” ~Alesia

Cheryl’s Total Experience

“The spiritual, emotional, and physical experience received at the retreat was wonderful. The atmosphere and other attendees made this opportunity, along with the amazing teaching, one of the best retreats I have ever attended in my life.  Thank you, both for your love, compassion, hope, and inspiration. Your ministry is appreciated and thousands of others around the world need to hear your message and experience the healing that God has promised to us all.” ~ Cheryl

Martha Loved the Retreat

“I would like to express my sincere thanks to you and Father John for all you taught us; the detox of the body, soul, and spirit. My skin feels smoother and my leg cramps in the mornings are gone. It was worth the effort and money to travel across the continent [from West Africa] to attend this wonderful wellness retreat. Please tell Fr. John I miss his loving and warm way of making everybody feel loved and capable.” ~ Martha

Ann Marie’s Retreat Experience

“I LOVED THE RETREAT! Your caring for each of us truly touched my heart. The interaction of the class members and their caring for each other made this an exceptional part of my journey. I came away with much more information and ways to apply this to my life. It’s the application that is so important. It was a very intense week, but very well integrated with time for each modality, yet time for rest and absorption. The program was very well thought out and executed I liked having different instructors for the various topics. The depth was perfect as most of us had some kind of background in the areas. The setting was also perfect…places to be alone and with nature…places to be together.” ~ Ann Marie

Yvonne’s Long-Term Health

“Cherie, your retreat was one of my most special memories of my life. It was a huge turning point for me in my desire to keep going in the right direction with living a healthy lifestyle. I am thinking more clearly and have even slimmed down. Your wisdom and encouragement have been so beneficial to me and my family. We are juicing daily along with exercising more.  I also loved the way Father John talked about the spiritual side of our lives.  I left the retreat changed and inspired. If anyone is considering doing a health retreat I would highly recommend yours.  ~ Yvonne

A Month After the Retreat…

“Today, one month later, I noticed how energized I feel. My weight is down 10 pounds so far. My constant postnasal drip had cleared up 98%. Prior to the retreat, I was feeling constantly anxious and overwhelmed. Now, I feel a sense of calmness. Thanks, Fr. John. My blood pressure, which was in the dangerously high zone, is now in the pre-high blood pressure zone and is still improving. And, I am not craving carbs from wheat any longer.” ~ Eileen

Tiffany Lost 8 Pounds, Gained 20 Friends

“Mere words cannot express my gratitude to Cherie, Fr. John, and Catherine for last week’s Trinity Wellness Retreat. The retreat exceeded my expectations off the chart! The classes I attended at the retreat were packed with juicing information and recipes, healthy lifestyle changes, and loving support. While weight loss was not my priority, I did return home 8 pounds lighter but far more important were the 20+ new friendships I gained! No matter if you are just starting out with juicing or have been embracing and enjoying it for years, you must treat yourself to this life-changing experience!” ~ Tiffany

Eileen – A Life-Changing Experience

“Thanks to you, Fr. John and Catherine for an awesome ‘life-changing’ Health & Wellness Retreat. It was better than I could have imagined.” Anne Got so Much More than She Expected I went to Cherie’s retreat thinking I could learn about juicing and kick start my diet. I came away with so very much more. This retreat addresses your whole self– body and soul. Do yourself and your body a favor and go to this retreat. You will not regret it! ~ Anne

Werner’s Reflections on the Retreat

“When I arrived at the retreat center, I was welcomed warmly and felt right at home. The week of juice fasting posed no problem and time flew by too quickly. The interaction with the other participants was uplifting as were the different sessions where we learned about healthy foods and not-so-healthy foods as well as physical, emotional, and spiritual detoxification.

This was the most remarkable, blessed week.” ~Werner

Sue’s “Thank You” on the Spokane Retreat

“Thanks again for a wonderful retreat. I lost 6 pounds and haven’t put it back on yet so YAY! I’m juicing at least once a day.” ~ Sue

Lanniece’s Life was Saved!

The Trinity Wellness Juice Retreat literally changed my life. As a physician, I am ashamed to say that I only received two hours of nutrition instruction in medical school. Cherie’s passion for healing through healthy, whole, clean foods with Father John’s passion for healing the mind and spirit is synergistically combined into an extremely powerful retreat experience that I wish everyone could experience.  The backdrop of the monastery makes it the perfect place to learn, be inspired, tackle difficult issues, and inspire. I was given the tools and education needed to live a better life through wiser food choices for my family and myself.  I have also learned to be less judgmental and to live more from my heart through Father John’s practical application of the Gospel. And as a bonus, I lost eight pounds while on the retreat and have lost a total of fifteen pounds in the two weeks following. I am so grateful for this experience and encourage anyone who knows something is missing from the daily grind of living in our fast-paced society to treat your mind, body, and soul to the Trinity Wellness Juice Retreat.

Sincerely, Lanniece F.Hall, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.

Linda in Hall of Fame

“My cardiologist asked what in the world did I do?  After your retreat my numbers were vastly improved! I am now on the right track to health.  Five years ago, I was so scared and today my heart is happy and calm. In fact, I’m smiling right now, Father John!  [a reference to Fr. John’s Happy Heart Class].”

Anne Came Away With So Much

“I went to Cherie’s retreat thinking I could learn about juicing and kick start my diet.  I came away with so very much more.  This retreat addresses your whole self– body and soul.  Do yourself and your body a favor and go to this retreat. You will not regret it.” ~Anne

Deidre Lost 14 Pounds and De-Stressed

“Your retreat was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had. It has changed how I deal with my life. I now know how to nourish my body in many ways, and am able to use the techniques I learned to help make my heart happier. My body, mind, and spirit are becoming more in harmony with each other. I am happy.  Thank you so much, Cherie, Fr. John for caring so much about what you do and having the knowledge that helped all of us.” ~ Deidre

Francine’s Shoulder Pain is Almost Gone

“I have to tell you all the aches and pains I was having have drastically minimized since the retreat, and the extremely painful right arm and shoulder are about 75% gone…which I now know is connected to the gallbladder. I felt my “vim and vigor” coming back by the time I left, too! It was an incredible experience.  ~ Francine

Anne Marie Loved the Retreat

“I LOVED THE RETREAT! I would come again in a heartbeat. Thank you all for the incredible amount of work you put into it. I truly felt blessed and special.  The personal tips were wonderful. I have already begun to review my handouts for what I might have missed.” ~ Anne Marie

Karen’s Healing

“Cherie I just want to thank you again for all the time and effort you put into organizing this amazing retreat! I felt so cleansed, healthy, well-rested, emotionally and spiritually whole, and physically healed! Scripture says “The day that we pray the tide of the battle turns.”I felt that battle turn for many of us, especially after the powerful oil anointing prayer service. I have spoken so highly of this retreat to all I have come in contact with, and will brag all about you at my Healing Strong meeting Tuesday: I am truly humbled and ever so grateful you granted me a scholarship to come. The retreat and time with you are the brightest stars in the dark sky of my cancer journey. Yes, I do believe morning is coming and I receive the word from you that I will experience the therapy healing you spoke about…little by little until I can proclaim a cancer-free report to all! Ps. 118:17 “I will not die but live! And proclaim what the Lord has done!” More than anything I want to be able to help others who are struggling and have lost hope concerning their health. Your testimony of God stepping in to perform the impossible is powerful. I believe I will be able to say the same. Doctors give me a zero percent chance of survival, but my God has shown up in impossible situations over and over again!”

Blessings to you Cherie,Karen

Judy’s Back Was Healed

“Thank you so much for the scholarship to attend the healing retreat in Washington State. I learned a whole lot, met some great people, saw a part of the country I’d never seen before, and most important of all – received a number of healings from the Lord. My back [bulging disc] continues to be healed. I had no pain at all lugging a heavy suitcase across three airports last Saturday. The tumor on my kidney and the fibroid tumors are shrinking. I have 70% improvement in my back. The healing is still ongoing.” Judy
