A Typical Day

Below is an outline of what to expect on both the 4 day and 7 day retreats, followed by what is specifically on offer for each retreat.

Your day begins at 7am with a gentle wake-up call, followed by a warm lemon water drink and a chance to do your morning skin brush. At 7.30 you will learn and practice yogic breathing exercises, which will help your body to detoxify and will also calm and balance your mind. This is followed by a short session of meditation and then by a yoga or chi gung session.

Juices

After your morning exercise you will have your first fruit or vegetable juice of the day. These are freshly made before each juice session, using large quantities of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. Juicing requires vast quantities of fruits and vegetables. Whilst you are with us you will probably consume a much higher quantity of nutrients than you would do in every day life, and it is these nutrients that help to push the toxins from the cells.

You will get a fresh juice about every 3 hours throughout the day, and in the evening you will be given a hot, clear vegetable broth. This broth is warming and enjoyable as a social event, and it is also an important part of the cleansing process, as the high potassium content it contains is needed to flush toxins from the cells.

Leisure Time

During the day there will be plenty of time for relaxation and catching up on sleep. Detoxing affects everyone differently, and if you have never experienced detox before, you might find that you feel very tired and just want to be in your own space, resting, and there will be plenty of opportunity to do this. Both of the venues are in good locations for walking and breathing in nature. You will also be able to enjoy many different treatments available, (some of which are included in the price), which all play a role in the detoxification process. (See the Treatment List)

The evenings are usually quite flexible, as everyone's desires are different. Sometimes there is another meditation session but we also spend some evenings watching informative DVDs which we include to inspire and motivate you towards a toxic free mind and body.
