This 4-day retreat is designed to give you that space back: space to breathe without rushing, to sit with yourself without distraction, and to remember what actually matters to you. With fewer distractions and a gentle daily structure, awareness naturally deepens and clarity begins to surface. Who This Is For This retreat is for you if you feel ready to pause and reflect, want time with yourself in a supportive environment, feel called to reevaluate life choices or habits, seek inspiration for meaningful change, or simply need space to slow down and reconnect. What to Expect Here, life moves at a more natural pace and the days are simple and grounded.You're invited to step out of constant doing and into a way of living that feels more present, conscious, and natural.

Our detox retreat offers a balanced blend of raw and cooked vegan cuisine, emphasizing unprocessed and unrefined ingredients. As part of our program, we practice intermittent fasting, which means taking a break from eating between lunch and breakfast (around 19 hours, from 2:30 pm to 9:30 am). This helps the body rest, reset, and naturally support its own detox process. 9:30 AM: Kickstart your day with a bowl of fresh smoothie made from delicious tropical fruits and nourishing overnight oats. 12:30 PM: Rejuvenate with a revitalizing detoxifying juice blend. 2:00 PM: Enjoy a nourishing plant-based meal paired with a crisp, refreshing salad. Throughout your stay, refreshing water and various teas are readily available, ensuring hydration around the clock. If intermittent fasting feels too intense or intimidating, the program allows for personal adjustment. Lunch leftovers and fresh fruits are available in the kitchen, and you are welcome to bring your own snacks to enjoy privately in your room. For those who prefer more independence, our private room with a kitchenette offers the option to prepare a simple dinner for yourself. We invite you to explore the rhythm that feels most supportive for your body, while still resting within the structure of the retreat.
