We offer individual support for each person as well as daily group activities (see Daily Events Table) to engage you during your physical detox and support you through your fast.
Primarily a juice fast detox program– we provide additional raw foods for anyone who require it for health/other reasons (arranged at the time of booking).
Juice Fasting with Detox SupplementsThe Juice Bar offers freshly juiced organic vegetables and fruits (locally sourced), juiced by our Retreat Chef. These juices provide micro nutrients for energy and help clear intestinal mucous while you are fasting. In addition, a warm vegetable broth is served every evening, providing additional micro nutrients to support your detox. Some experienced detoxers may prefer a pure water fast. Detox Supplements deepen your cleanse, tone and move the intestines and help alkalise your body. Detox Diet – alkalising foods provided for anyone not suited to juice fast for health/other reasons (please request in advance). We will discuss and adapt a detox diet to suite your detox. Juice fasting allows your body to cleanse itself without the need to spend energy on digestion. Far from a modern fad, human bodies are designed to fast (as food supply is seasonal in the natural world, no supermarkets!). Fasting supports the body to reduce toxicity levels, to minimise fat cells, to enhance immunity & digestion and reduce weight. Read more ‘Why Detox’ here. |

Colonic Irrigation (optional)Colonic Irrigations in combination with fasting support the healthy gut microbiome and clears constipation and toxicity, by cleansing the Colon (large intestine) with water (like an ‘internal shower’). This helps to release intestinal toxic matter, pathogenic ‘bad’ bacteria & clear constipation, as well as train and tone the bowel. Following a series of Colonic irrigation (which help remove the negative bacteria) we provide healthy probiotics to inhabit your gut with live giving probium. Improving the gut is key to health as without healthy bowel movement and healthy bacteria in this area, we lose up to 65% of our first line immunity. Read Why & more about Colonics here. You’ll be instructed on how to use the colonic unit (it is simple!), therefore no prior experience needed. Those with contra-indications to colonics or chose not to do colonics, can use colon cleansing herbs instead. |
