Why You Should Choose Life

Good health is not about instant perfection. It’s about making better choices, one day at a time.

In a world that moves faster every year, many people feel tired...

Tired of being tired, tired of confusing health advice, tired of starting new habits only to fall back into old ones, and tired of wondering whether their body will ever feel the way they hope it could.

If you have ever felt that way, you are not alone.

The Choose Life 10-Day Program was created for people in our local Maine communities who want to live happier, healthier lives without overwhelming rules or unrealistic expectations. This is a medically supervised lifestyle education experience designed for adults who want more than temporary results. We have doctors and several health educators who want to support you! Choose Life is for people who are ready to invest in bettering their health.

Maybe you're carrying the frustration of knowing you should feel better than you do.

Maybe you're thinking about your heart health, your weight, your cholesterol, your mental health, your energy levels, or your long-term wellbeing.

Or maybe you just miss what it feels like to wake up rested, move through your day with energy, and feel comfortable in your own body again.

During 10 focused days, you will step into a supportive space that includes nightly health education, cooking demonstrations, group physical activity sessions, and three freshly prepared vegetarian meals each day. These meals are designed to be enjoyable, and they're made with quality ingredients and awesome flavor. Eating healthy doesn't have to be a drag. It can be comforting, satisfying, and even something you look forward to.

You will learn simple lifestyle principles that you can realistically maintain when you return home. Nothing extreme or confusing, phew!

Programs like this are often offered at wellness retreats costing $3,500-$5,000, and even luxury health retreats can be upwards of $10,000. But our goal is to make this kind of life changing health education available to our local communities! The Choose Life program is offered for only $600 per person, which again, includes 10 days of education, tasty prepared meals, guided activity, and supportive learning in a welcoming environment. That's basically 80% off or more of what for-profit health retreats would be asking you to pay.

Please inquire about needs-based scholarships on the "other" section of our registration form.

This program is for you if you are tired of feeling stuck in unhealthy cycles, if you want more energy to enjoy time with the people you love, or if you are ready to treat your future health as something worth protecting.

You don't need to: be at your best to start, need to know everything about exercise or nutrition,

need to know everything about wellness. What a relief!

You do: need a willingness to show up, learn, and take one step forward at at time.

Imagine finishing these 10 days feeling stronger, clearer, and more hopeful about your health.
Imagine having practical habits that work that you can carry home with you.
Imagine choosing a path that supports your body, your mind, and your future.

Your health is not a luxury...it's a necessity.

If you can see yourself in any of this, the program was designed for you,

and we invite you to join us at Choose Life!
