RETREATS

Basic Fast (10 days)

This is the fast recommended for most people. It consists of 7 days of pure water fasting followed by a gradual 3 day recuperation period (fruit to vegetables to cooked meals). This fast procures a fast track detoxification of the entire body and a genuine well-being. It favors physiological and mental rest and allows for the elimination of toxins by through a natural phenomenon called autolysis or self-healing. Fasting is a tune-up for your body, including organ cleansing and repair, after which a better functioning of the body and a better and cleaner mental state is inevitable. This fast is also a very effective way to stop smoking.

Extended Fast (14 days)

This fast begins 4 days before the regularly scheduled sessions and finishes at the same. It consists of 10 days of pure water fasting and 4 days of recuperation. This fast is usually offered to those with special needs and those who have already fasted. It offers the same benefits as the basic fast with an extended detoxification period. Those doing extended fasts usually benefit from added “alone” time for the first four days until the small group arrives.

Juice Fast (10 days)

It is also possible to do a juice retreat at predetermined dates, with advance reservations. This retreat consists of freshly extracted fruit, vegetable and sprout juices (apple, melons, grapes, carrots, beet, celery, chard, wheatgrass, etc.) followed by the same recuperation as in the basic fast. We use mostly organic produce. This retreat is especially beneficial for those who want to do a thorough cleansing of their digestive and intestinal systems. The side effect is a unique state of lightness and well-being.
