All the healing and counsciousness raising of the fasting programs, pure air and water and peaceful, rural surroundings to heal your mind and body.
Do you remember what it felt like when you were a child and woke up in the morning, jumped out of bed, ready to go, without aches or pains, no stiffness, no sluggishness or lethargy? When you did not need coffee or tea to get you into action? this was the result of a clean body and you can regain that lifestyle at any age.
Fasting requires a calm, quiet atmosphere so that there are no demands or stresses put upon the body except what you feel like doing. To that end, our facilities are modest and the activities nonstrenuous.
Your personal program will be developed during this consultation. The program will be selected and adapted as required to your individual needs. There is continuous monitoring during your stay, with modifications to the program as necessary, which will assure your success.

A minimum stay of one week which consists of five days of raw juice therapy and two days to break this fast, during which time you are instructed in porper diet, menus, food preparation, storage and organizing your kitchen for a more whilistic lifestyle. Longer stays are recommended for special problems and for obesity. the reason for a 7 day fast is that it takes 3 days to empty the intestines, 2 days to clear the lymphatics and 2 days to break the fast correctly. Shorter stays are not condusive to lasting results for which we strive. You will receive a massage at the beginning and the end of the fast and colon cleanses also at the beginning and the end of the fast.
