Thanks so much for connecting with us. We appreciate it.

We're new to Myspace and really excited about making authentic connections with those interested in holistic health, living foods, wellness, fasting, consciousness, law of attraction, and of course films and documentaries.

Please enjoy this trailer of our 32 minute documentary. It follows one man's journey of a 30 day water fast in the woods. Feel free to share it with all your friends. :)

Thanks so much and keep living passionately!
