MINDFUL DETOX RETREAT: 24HR Digital Detox & Juice Cleanse

THURSDAY 22nd – FRIDAY 23rd APRIL, 2021

PAUSE . . . BREATHE . . . and FEEL. Sense deep into your own body, and even deeper into the patterns of thought and emotion that govern your experiences. The process of detoxification brings us closer to understanding our own personal neuroses. As we bring ourselves closer to the edge of discomfort, without the means that we often turn to as distractions, we begin to develop a heightened sense of awareness through intensified sensations, emotions and thoughts. Pausing can take the form of stepping away from your daily life, putting aside your digital distractions and even allowing your digestive system to rest and reset. On this 24-hour digital detox and juice cleanse, we offer an intimate group setting as a support system, to guide you through the process with knowledge, and to ensure that you get the most benefit out of this experience. 

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO CLEANSING

The retreat takes a holistic approach in building your understanding of the detoxification process so that the lessons you learn over this 24-hour period become education for life rather than a singular experience. While many people may choose a juice cleanse or any other type of cleanse from a weight loss or diet perspective, our approach is that of building total health through the body and mind in a way that is less goal oriented and more about the process. Gentle yoga sessions, breathing, introspection, journaling and discussion are essential components to ensuring that you connect with the complete experience. The vehicles through which we learn are the digital detox and juice cleanse, but this opens us to the opportunity for emotional cleansing; identification and cleansing of our vices; identification, deconstruction and reconstruction of our habits and patterns; and much more. The end result is greater clarity, and perhaps feeling lighter not just through the digestive system, but through a letting go of the excesses in our lives that do not serve us. 

WHY RETREAT?

Whether its your first time detoxing or your 10th time, the process is consistently challenging. Taking yourself out of your day to day environment with an intimate group of people who are also going through the same process allows you to immerse entirely in the experience. You will not only receive the support and guidance of the instructor, but you are given the opportunity to explore, share, and discuss with other like-minded individuals. At the same time, the tranquil rooms of Villa Samadhi will serve as your meditation cells where  much of your contemplations will take place. The quiet surroundings of the private grounds at Villa Samadhi offer stillness for deeper soul-finding. Retreat to recharge and reset. 

THE JUICE CLEANSE

Your juice cleanse is provided by EGA. You will begin the juice cleanse the evening before the retreat begins. EGA will deliver two Triphala lax pills and your first juice to your home. Consume a healthy dinner at a reasonable time. Please do not consume any alcohol the day before the juice cleanse. At 10:00pm, prior to going to bed, you will take the two Triphala lax pills.  Your first juice will be consumed at 7:30am on the morning of the retreat, prior to departing for Villa Samadhi. During the day, you will receive FIVE more juices to consume. Your cleanse ends on the morning of day 2 where you will break your fast with a light, healthy, vegetarian breakfast to ease your way back into consuming solid food.
