7 Day Retreats

These are held at Brook House in West Wittering (directions).

Brook House is a beautiful home found in the centre of the village, only about 400 yards from the stunning award-winning beaches of West Wittering. The house itself is set in its own secluded gardens with a pretty stream running through it. This venue is superb for walking, either along the beach itself or along the Chichester harbour estuary, with stunning views of the South Downs in the distance.

The 7 day retreat is a much deeper tissue cleanse, and to promote this we use various supplements and herbs and a full colon cleanse programme, as well as the juices, yoga and meditation etc.

Herbs and Supplements

Bentonite Clay: Bentonite acts like a sponge or magnet and absorbs 40 times or more its weight in toxins and heavy metals.

Psyllium Husk: Psyllium is an effective type of fibre that swells when mixed with liquid into a mass of soft jelly-like substance. It acts like a broom, sweeping clean any loosened substances from the walls of the digestive tract. It also gives bulk and aids in expelling faeces.

Herbal Detox Supplements: These contain a cocktail of herbs that work very effectively at dissolving and breaking up the mucoid matter that lines the walls of the digestive tract, and then helping to expel it. They reduce gas in the stomach and intestines, purify the blood and stimulate and strengthen the liver and eliminative organs. They also strengthen, heal and re-build the peristaltic action of the colon and digestive system.

Nutritional Supplements: to support your liver and other organs during the detox process.

Treatments

During the week there a number of treatments you will receive included in the price. These treatments are:

• Thai Yoga Massage
• Reflexology
• Extra Detox Aromatherapy Massage
• Relaxation, Therapeutic or Sports Massage

These treatments are booked and paid for once you are at the retreat.

Colon Cleanse

As your cells start to release toxins, some from deep within the tissues, they will be transported via the lymphatic system to an organ of elimination. It is very important that your body is able to remove the toxins effectively at this stage, otherwise you will simply re-absorb them back into your blood, which after all of your hard work you really don't want.

This is why the colon cleanse is such an important part of the programme, and by doing a cleanse on a daily basis, it helps to eliminate the possibility of a healing crisis that can occur when detoxing. Cleansing the colon also helps to remove the mucoid plaque that lines the walls of the digestive tract. When mucoid plaque is removed, the body is then able to absorb all of the good nutrients found in food, thus increasing your health and vitality.

As well as the colonic hydrotherapy session you will be receiving, we also use either the Clysmatic (a type of self-service colonic) or an enema. These treatments are done in the privacy of your own bathroom on a daily basis.

Arrivals and Departures

The 7 day retreat normally starts with your arrival at 3.30pm, in time for the afternoon juice, and finishes on the final morning, after you have been re-introduced back to food at break-fast time.

Directions

Brook House is situated 10 minutes south of Chichester, just off of the A286 that runs through West Wittering village. When approaching Chichester you will usually do so via the A27 - part of the Chichester by-pass. The Witterings are signposted on the A27. Follow the signs to West Wittering until you come into the small village. (This takes about 10 minutes having left the A27). Not far after the shops you will see a sign on your right that says 'To West Wittering Beach' (Opposite The Old House at Home Pub)

Turn right here towards the beach and immediately on your left-hand side behind the phone box you will see a shingle path. Turn left into here and follow path to the end where you will see the 'Brook House' sign and the entrance to the drive.

The nearest station is Chichester. If you let us know your arrival time we will come and pick you up if we are available. If not, there are taxis at the station.
