Why fasting?
Fasting is an essential.
Who can attend the cleanse retreat - any restrictions?
There are a few restrictions as to who may attend. We ask that you be 18 or older, that you NOT: have any doctor-defined life-threatening or contagious diseases; be on heavy medications; be pregnant or nursing; have had a kidney or liver transplant, kidney impairment or only one kidney. However, before eliminating yourself from the possibility of having a cleanse, check with us. With your doctor's written approval, we will most likely accept you.
It is our intention to provide you with the best cleanse experience you've ever had, therefore our pre-retreat health questions are designed with your safety in mind, for a joyful, successful retreat experience.
What is an organic fast and cleanse?
An organic herbal & juice fast cleanse is an internal cleanse designed to boost the functions and restorative powers of the colon, blood, organs and immune system by resting the body from the strenuous digestive and elimination activities, replenishing supplies of natural enzymes, vitamins and minerals, and expelling stored toxins.
The Colon, so often burdened with undigested, compacted, putrefied remnants of meats, dairy and other processed foods, will become cleansed during our retreats. A clean Colon allows the body to access more nutrients from food, which provides the body with greater nourishment and strength, and expel wastes more quickly and efficiently.
During a cleanse, the body receives all the necessary vitamins, minerals and enzymes it needs from wheat grass juice and green drinks. Because you're actually getting all the nutrients you need, you should never feel hungry during the fast.
Included in your cleanse, is an optional transition-in and transition-out diet guide. It is recommended that you follow this guide for an optimal cleanse experience and for your own active involvement, but it is your decision.
If you do follow the transition -in and -out diet guides, you will have a total of a 9-day cleanse for the 5-day retreats, and an 11-day cleanse for the 7-day retreats, which will provide you with a higher quality cleanse. (2 days coming into the cleanse and 2 days going out of the cleanse performed at your home before and after arrival at the retreat.)
What can I expect to experience?
Most people experience improved energy levels, and sometimes an elevated sense of lightness. People who throw off larger levels of toxins may experience what is known as a "Healing Event," which means you may not feel as well as expected at first, but if the cleanse is continued and the toxins eliminated, the improved feeling of energy and lightness should follow.
During a 5 or 7 day retreat it is generally unusual for people to experience a difficult "Healing Event." Most people have a wonderful experience of joy, lightness and energy. See our Testimonials page. Heavy alcohol and caffeine users often find that days three & four are tiresome but on day five the feeling of power and energy emerge.
What should I bring?
toiletries, casual clothing, yoga/exercise clothes, swimsuit, hat, note pad, jounral, pen, sun protections, reading material, your favorite CD's (dance or relaxation), walking shoes, hiking boots, a good attitude and an open mind
What not to bring?
No jewelery or valuables, no scented lotions or perfume, no cigarettes or alcohol, no food
Why should I participate in a cleansing fast?
In today's world, it is important to cleanse regularly. We are constantly exposed to and ingesting toxins. Our diets are generally more acidic than alkalizing. In order to maintain optimum health and energy levels, the colon, blood, cells, liver and other organs, and lymphatic system must be adequately clean and nourished. Our fast cleanses provide you the opportunity to cleanse, restore and recharge your body with the natural organic vitamins, enzymes and minerals found in living, raw, healthy fruits and vegetables.
