Our programme combines juice fasting with a range of supportive practices designed to encourage rest, reflection and healthy lifestyle change. In addition to freshly prepared juices and vegetable broth, guests have access to yoga, meditation, sauna sessions, treatments and a structured daily routine. We believe that this genuinely holistic approach supports not only physical wellbeing, but also mental, emotional and spiritual renewal and creates the potential to not only make physiological and lifestyle changes but also genuine inner transformation.

Most guests are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the programme feels. The juices and broth help provide nourishment throughout the day, and with either a juice or broth every 3 hours during the day it's never long to wait until there is sustenance provided. As there are also therapies, classes and actvities, and plenty of group connection there is plenty of enrichment coming from many sources, and many guests tell us the delight they feel at this range of nurture also helps.

Energy levels vary from person to person. Some guests experience a temporary reduction in energy during the first few days, while others report feeling increasingly clear-headed and energised as the programme progresses. We encourage guests to listen to their bodies and adjust their activity levels accordingly, and for this we provide a very permissibe and flexible approach so guests can also choose how much they wish to engage with the programme schedule.

For many guests, the anticipation is actually harder than the reality, and we are also conscious for example that not every visitor has a yoga practice so we make the morning and evening classes as accessible as possible and try and keep the atmosphere light and grounded. If there are symptoms of discomfort then it's most commonly in the first two or three days as the body adjusts to a different routine, but on the whole guests are pleasantly surprised by how supported they feel, and many report that the week becomes easier as it progresses.

Weight loss varies from person to person. Guests who arrive carrying excess weight will often notice an appreciable weight loss during the programme, whereas those who are already close to their natural weight may experience less change. Many guests report feeling lighter, less bloated and more comfortable in their bodies following the retreat. Any changes in weight after the programme will depend on individual lifestyle and dietary choices.

Many guests find that a period of stepping away from their usual routines and habits provides a valuable opportunity to reduce or stop smoking. While we cannot of course guarantee specific outcomes, some people report that cravings become easier to manage during and after the programme.

Most guests complete the programme without experiencing what is commonly referred to as a "healing crisis" and actually report feeling light and energised. However, everyone is different. During detoxification some people may experience temporary symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, emotional release or changes in energy levels as the body adjusts.

It's important to remember that fasting in itself does not cure anything, but it is a means of permitting the resources of the body itself to take over, to effect healing throughout the system.

Therefore we do not claim that fasting cures any medical condition, with our programme designed to support the body's aforementioned natural cleansing and restorative processes and to provide an environment that encourages rest, reflection and healthy lifestyle change.

Guests with medical conditions should always seek appropriate professional medical advice.
