The unique formulas and drinks are specially chosen for their cleansing properties with focus on the GI tract, liver and blood. Our programs combine periods of eating, semi-fasting and juice fasting, for optimum results and a comfortable process.
Hydrotherapy and Aromatherapy
Evening steam baths with aromatherapy are one of our guests favorite activities and are designed to assist in the elimination of toxins, boosting the immune system, strengthening the cardio-vascular system. This therapy also helps clear the respiratory system and rejuvinate the skin.
Exercise
Daily yoga classes, pleasant and relaxing walks along the beach, as well as cardio and weight training in the fitness room, located at the resort, are all available to the guests and wonderfully complement the strong nutritional and cleansing aspects of the program.
Lifestyle Common Sense Education
Engaging daily lectures, full of in-depth information, based on natural health principles, along with videos, are a very important part of our program and one of the secrets of staying on track. While setting high standards, we share with people how they can put them into practice, to fit into their busy lifestyles. During their stay our guests not only experience health, but also learn how to prepare guiltless and delicious meals, as well as many practical tips they can use after returning from the retreat.
Emotional Wellness Workshops
We believe that most, if not all diseases are triggered by emotional traumas and unhealthy thought patterns. During these unique interactive workshops we offer different personal growth topics, including Fulfilling Life, Self-Respect and Emotional Pain Bodies.
