Introducing EAT TO TRIVE, The 6-Week Green Juice Online Cooking Class, The Green Juice Cleanse

I know I’m late to say so, but Happy New Year! My move to the Art Barn in West Sonoma County was a bit of a shock, but now I’m settled in and loving my new home.

Those of you who know me can attest to how sympathetic I am and I send hugs and blessings to any New Year’s Resolution related areas. This is the time of year when we often think about our New Year’s wishes. Our goal setting can include parts that go along with happy desires (like the part of me that bought Jeff an REI backpack like mine and I really want to walk the Camino De Santiago to the shrine of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, before I kick the bucket). But it can also involve a very embarrassing focus on how bad we are, especially when we’ve been eating and drinking too much – and not exercising too much because it’s dark and the weather is bad in the Northern Hemisphere – during the winter holidays.

How do we gently hold those parts, both pleasure desires and self-improvement desires- with the IFS-experienced sensitivity to trauma-related protectors and the injured parts they protect? We hold them in a paradoxical way – the desire to progress, with compassion, need and longing, and the tension surrounding the painful disappointment of what we don’t have yet, the longing for improvement, but without bullying or self-deprecating goals.

With that framework in mind, I want to announce, with great excitement at last, our latest online experience, which is a collaboration I’m doing with Chef Jonathan McCloud and raw food/cleansing expert Patricia Barrett, who used to do cleaning work at my integrative medicine center in Marin County.

For over fifteen years, I’ve been doing a post-holiday green juice cleanse- and now that 2026 has begun, I’m inviting you to join me! It’s a great time of year to reset. We’ll be starting after Valentine’s Day, so you can eat your chocolate, drink your champagne, and get ready to clean up afterward. We will focus on this cleanse as a loving, experienced IFS solution to holiday entertaining, to gain clarity about how we want to focus our health, nutrition, eating, drinking, and cooking through 2026.

In addition to ten live Zoom sessions over five weeks to support and oversee your cleansing journey, the program also includes recorded cooking classes (or should I say “non-cooking classes, since most of the food is raw) with Chef Jonathan McCloud and myself, and a Q&A forum led by Patricia Barrett to answer the many questions that come up when people clean two books first. Lifetime Green Juice Cleanse Tutorial, written by Tricia and I to support your journey, so you can do this again in the future on your own if you wish- and written by Chef McCloud- Grow up.

Those of you who have taken an in-person workshop with me in the Bay Area know that I often bring raw juice, homemade raw chocolate, kale chips from my juicer, green balls, and other healthy pre-made foods. I also led a nutritional green juice cleanse from my early days in integrative medicine fifteen years ago, along with Patricia Barrett, who ran the cleanse in our integrative medicine practice.

What you may know is that I have also been creating my own recipes and trying to make delicious healthy meals for adults and children alike for most of my adult life. What I haven’t tried to do is measure those recipes, write them down, or try to teach non-cooking classes. And I never tried to install all of you this is my secret love.

So I decided to collaborate with some of my talented friends to bring you a very different educational program and experience than what I usually teach. As a special added luxury, Jonathan and I will be hosting a one-day post-cleanse + cooking class at Stardust Ranch in Sonoma, available to those who sign up for the Eat to Thrive program. Places are limited, so register now to qualify!

We are very happy to be by your side cleaning! Jonathan and I will be cleaning up as we teach you, so we’ll be with you in the trenches, with green mustaches, chubby bellies, and bright glitter.

With love,

Lissa, Jonathan & Tricia
