To make your retreat experience as pleasant as possible, it is advisable to abstain from alcohol for a few days before your retreat, and at the very least the day before. If possible eliminating sugary and processed food is also advisable.

​

Pack comfortable clothing, a good book if you like to read and a bathing suit if you would like to have a swim in the ocean.

A special electrolyte mix will be prepared to add to your water and to be consumed at your leisure. There will also be supplement schedule including activated charcoal to mop up toxins from the digestive tract along with magnesium to help you relax and sleep well.  All will be provided.

Friday Yoga session begins around 8:45 am at the Retreat House.

Treatments begin after 10 am in pairs. While one person is getting a coffee colonic, the other receives a  Relaxing Massage and then they switch over. 

The coffee colonic is important as it helps empty the bowel of waste making the fasting process more pleasant as the body does not have to deal with toxicity from the colon. The coffee retention half way through the colonic further supports the detoxifying process by supporting the liver. The colonic will also give you a great empty feeling.

The Massage is provided by Sonia, for more information click here

The evening is free to swim, go for a stroll and do as you please.

Treatments of colonic with probiotic and Indian Head Massage  will take place in pairs at around 9am.

​

The probiotic colonic cleanses the colon and then a probiotic implant is left in the colon at the end of the session to help balance the gut flora at the end of your cleanse.

​

An Indian head massage stimulates the flow of blood, lymph and oxygen in your upper body, and therefore may clear your sinuses, relieve stress and help you sleep better.

​

The retreat is now coming to a close. A final yoga session will take place at 2pm at the Retreat House.

​

You can start using the oral probiotics in the evening to help build new balanced gut flora.

​

It is advisable to start with simple cooked food such as vegetable soup. Refrain from fresh foods such as salads as they can be irritating to the colon. Then in the days to come slowly start adding more foods, cooked meats, roasted vegetables and then raw foods.

​

Continue to use the oral probiotics until you run out.
