Retreat 64

The detox program runs from Monday to Friday and accommodation is available from Sunday to Saturday.The program starts with a three day fast taking five detox shakes per day, mixed with organic apple juice, Psyllium husks and Bentonite clay. To increases the shakes ability to clean the colon walls of toxic matter digestive enzymes are also taken. The following days consist of a gentle re-introduction of the food groups and we concentrate on simple living food meals.During the week we spend time together in the kitchen preparing new dishes and desserts, enjoy daily therapies and go on guided Pyrenees walks.
The therapies which are scheduled for you in the week include: Massage, Floatation’s, Life coaching, Shiatsu and Reiki. The therapies are all designed to boost your immune system as well as speed up the elimination of stored toxins. Each therapist will explain to you the benefits of their therapy. Extra rest is also a therapy and it is vital that your body, mind and spirit take time to relax. It is when we relax that most of the detoxification and healing can be done by the body. Living Foods form a central part of your detox week. Living Foods are foods that still have their enzymes intact which means the enzymes have not been destroyed by heating, wilting, storage and any other damage. The time we spend together in the kitchen will probably change the way you look at food forever.. I will show you how to make Juices, smoothies and a range of meals from living foods that are easy for you to make at home. You will learn how to grow a wide range of sprouted seeds, indoor greens and the value of herbs.These walks are for varied levels of fitness and we will choose a walk that is suited to your ability and maybe just stretch you a little. You will need walking boots and we provide the water and even carry it for you. The scenery here is stunning and is also very beneficial to help you get moving and ensure that you get vital oxygen into your blood. Being in nature will enhance your detox from a busy stressful life and will help you to clear your mind.After your walk you have a wonderful massage or floatation booked that will really add to the experience.

Your week will be organized but most certainly relaxed. There is plenty of free time to read from the well stocked library which has books, Audio CD's and films on self development, spirituality as well as detoxing and all aspects of health, raw food and healing. There will be visits into Bayonne centre, St Jean de Luz market and Biarritz beach.Vitamin D is freely provided when you sit in the garden soaking up the sun and fresh air, enjoying the magnificent view of the Pyrenees mountains.
