FASTING & DETOX RETREATS
VITALITY STARTS HERE
WHY FAST?
It can help with
Digestion
Fasting allows the digestive tract to take a much needed break to restore itself to normalcy and health.
Fatigue
Fatigue is one of the first signs we are not well. An increase of energy and vitality is commonly experienced after a successful fast.
Detoxification
When we abstain from solid food, the body shifts from 'digestive mode' to 'clean-up mode' and the process of detoxification begins.
Increased Immunity
Weight Loss
Fasting will support weight loss by interrupting patterns of unhealthy eating.
Stress
Regular fasting can lead to a reduction in oxidative cellular stress and help with issues of emotional stress.
Fasting has been shown to help maintain strong and healthy immunity by reducing inflammation, turning on cellular cleansing and naturally reducing viral load.
WHY FAST TOGETHER ?
Fasting is the quickest, natural and most efficient way to cleanse, detoxify and rejuvenate your bodymind. Whatever your reason, this 5 day supported and guided fast will bring you positive, health-changing results.
The aim of this programme is for you to feel supported and confident whilst doing a multiple day fast in your own home.
Joining this fasting programme makes your fasting experience far easier, more enjoyable and considerably more effective in every way.
Why? Because you will have…
SUPPORT FROM OTHERS
A PLACE TO MEET & CONVENE
ACCESS TO ORGANIC PRODUCE
ACCESS TO DETOX EQUIPMENT
NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO DETOX
Fasting is neither alternative nor conservative medicine, it is progressive health care. For anyone seeking more vitality, a greater understanding of their body, or an aid in overcoming a health challenge, NOW is always the best time to do a detox.
However summer is one of the easiest and most beneficial times to undertake a fast. Our bodies are naturally aligned to nature's seasons and Spring & Summer mean renewal and revitalization. The days and nights are warm, the sunshine abundant (mostly!) and produce is plentiful. Welcome in the New Year and another level of health and vitality.
Come along and invest in your health and share the experience with others.

You'll be able to purchase some organic produce from us at a reasonable price.

We have recommended supplements and herbs available for you to purchase including bentonite, psyllium, aloe vera, organic turmeric and ginger powder.
We also have some quality cold-press juice extractors available for hire if you don't have your own.

"Very good - particularly for first time fasters. A supportive, nurturing environment for people ready to change their lives for the better."
"This has been a fuller and greater experience than I anticipated. I thought fasting meant not eating but I have gained incredible awareness and feel empowered. I left my fears behind on day one and found the process to be a real awakening. I have made friends with my body."
"I enjoyed it very much. The course provided a very easy environment to undertake my first fast in. It was nice having the flexibility to choose our own program."
"Made me stop and evaluate my life. Made me feel and think of others as special and loving souls. It was the most enriching and enlightening retreat of self indulgence I have ever had."
