Interested in learning about fasting and creating perfect health? Learn side by side with Loren Lockman and the Tanglewood staff.

The primary responsibility of interns is assisting in the care of fasters. Interns play an important role in the success of an individual’s stay. Experience the sense of community and the satisfaction of truly helping people vastly improve their health.

Interns also assist in all aspects of running the center, and will be exposed to the logistics of running a business, writing and publishing material, and other tasks that keep the Center running smoothly. Interns extend our ability to reach people that can be helped by the information and services available at the Center.

Our internships require a 9 week commitment. All food is locally grown, simple raw vegan. A three-week fast and one week of refeeding will be provided as part of your experience with us. As an intern, you will also have plenty of time to enjoy and explore the beautiful tropical environment of Costa Rica.

Update

Our internship has been a truly life-changing program for many of the 127 people who’ve done it (4 or 5 of them twice!).  As you may know, it involved 21 days fasting, a week of re-feeding, and then 5 more weeks of room and board, education and coaching and a some service to the

It not only taught many people how to maximize their health, it led them by the hand and brought them to an amazing level of health.  But it also required so much of Loren’s time that he recently decided to put it on-hold for the time being.

However, there is a similar opportunity available now.  While it’s not formalized like the internship was, it still provides for the same time fasting and re-feeding, a lot of education, coaching and fellowship, shared meals, etc.  You simply come spend 4 weeks with us a client ($3695) and then stay on to volunteer afterward.  You’ll help with any necessary tasks around the center will get room and board, coaching, etc., in exchange for 30-35 hours/week of work.

There are some ways that this opportunity differs from the internship; with the internship, Tanglewood made a commitment to each intern to guide them through the program, and unless someone was in blatant violation of our policies, etc., they were here for the duration of the internship (unless they chose to leave early.)  This was sometimes problematic as we wound up with people here who were Not so easy to deal with.

With volunteers, we don’t make the same commitment.  As long as it feels comfortable and beneficial to both parties, the relationship lasts 9 weeks or even possibly longer.  But once the fast/re-feeding portion is over, we reserve the right to ask any volunteer to leave if it doesn’t feel good or beneficial.  And of course the volunteer always has the right to leave early if they choose to.

Our intention is to create something that’s mutually beneficial, but we’re not willing to be locked into something if it doesn’t feel and function well for everyone.

While our fasting sessions are 9 weeks long, it is possible to stay on longer (which would mean a trip out of the country for three days to start the visa clock over again after 13 weeks.)

Of course the first step is to go through the process with us yourself as this will both allow you to take your own health to a new high, and will also insure that you truly understand what we’re up to.

Let us know your thoughts. And remember that whether you choose to volunteer with us or not, spending 4 or more weeks with us as a client is guaranteed to be the single most powerful, beneficial thing that you ever do for yourself.
