This retreat is designed to clear the body of toxins and allow the body the opportunity to achieve its own optimum health.
Our one week Detox Retreat consists of 2 days of travel and 5 days of wonderful sessions.
The following sample itinerary includes the session options you can expect to find in our basic Detox program. Changes will be made based upon your physical and emotional condition, as well as your own unique needs.
Day 1 (Sunday)
Arrive: Settle in to your lodging accommodations. ( Make sure you inquire about our retreat lodging.) You will want to relax and let go of your day of traveling so that you can get a good night sleep. Depending on your detox program, you may have an orientation at the office.
Day 2 (Monday)
Initial Consultation: This is to assess your abilities and make sure you are receiving the appropriate program. We will review your retreat schedule and make recommendations based upon our assessment and your needs and budget. You will more than likely receive at least one suggestion for internal herbal cleansing along with a special diet plan suitable to your detox program. Of course, it is totally up to you to accept and/or change any suggestions. If you are staying in our retreat lodging, you will have a full kitchen where you can prepare your meals.
BioMat Session: Here you will enjoy about 30 minutes on a BioMat. One of the many benefits of laying on a BioMat includes receiving the BioMat's far infrared waves. These raise body temperature, warming the blood and expanding the blood vessels, which increases blood circulation. Increased blood circulation stimulates the sweat glands, releasing built-up toxins and waste. It also carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles.
Colon Therapy: This restorative, painless procedure flushes away toxic build up and improves the intestinal absorption of nutrients. This is an excellent start for your Detox Retreat. However, if you are just not comfortable with this, we will find and teach you other ways to accomplish clearing toxins from the colon to put you on a good start.
Day 3 (Tuesday)
Chelation Therapy or Breath Work: You may want to incorporate Chelation Therapy into your Detox program. In this type of therapy, chelating agents are administered to remove heavy metals. These agents make several chemical bonds with metal ions and the resulting complex is water-soluble, allowing it to enter the bloodstream and be excreted harmlessly. For your information, there are various chelating methods; such as intravenous, oral or through body chemistry balancing. We will discuss what is appropriate depending on your history and physical condition during your initial consultation.
If you prefer more emotional clearing than heavy metal, we give you an option to experience Holotropic Breath Work. In this two plus hour session, you will be guided to breath in a gentle connected rhythm while listening to music. You will enter into deeper levels of consciousness where you will be able to access the information that you need most for your spiritual upliftment and education. Upon waking to full consciousness, you will talk with your facilitator who will help you to integrate what you have learned.
Massage, Colon Therapy or BioMat Session with Ionic Foot Bath: Here we offer you three choices for your afternoon session. You may choose to receive a relaxing massage to help integrate your morning session. Or if you want to further your detox experience, Colon Therapy or a BioMat session followed by an Ionic Foot Bath may be more suitable for your needs.
Day 4 (Wednesday)
Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) - Release Therapy: This session can be utilized to further regain your physical health, to manifest what you desire in your career and relationships, to remove phobias and to clear false and limiting beliefs. Your facilitator will assist you in clearing the limiting unconscious "false beliefs" that were formulated after emotions got stuck in your body following trauma, disappointments and/or parental conditioning. You will be free to create your life in a new way, rather than manifesting more of the same old stuff.
For this session, you also have the choice to receive Acupuncture, Color Therapy or a Chiropractic Adjustment, whichever helps you the most, in place of the NET. Or our therapist may combine other options that might serve you best in a different way.
BioMat Session with Ionic Foot Bath: You may choose to take this session immediately after your NET work or in the afternoon. You will enjoy relaxing and integrating while resting on the BioMat. Afterwards, you will be able to soothe your feet and improve the function of your detoxifying organs with an Ionic Foot Bath. Note: In some cases, we might not recommend an ionic foot bath due to contra-indications. Instead, it may be beneficial to stay on the BioMat longer.
Day 5 (Thursday)
Ayurvedic Therapy: During this approximately 2 hour session, you will experience Abhyanga (a warm herbal oil massage) and then Shirodhara (continuous flow of warm oil on the forehead) followed by Swedana (steam tent on the table). Even if you are not participating in a Panchakarma Detox program, you can enjoy this treatment which will not only assist your detoxification process but will also make you feel balanced and rejuvenated. It is a wonderful sample experience of Panchakarma. Afterwards, if you feel that this is something that would further help you, you might consider receiving Panchakarma as a detox modality. If your schedule allows, inquire about Ayurvedic Detox for the following week (subject to our availability).
Day 6 (Friday)
Colon Therapy or Myofascial Release Work: Unless you decide to extend your Detox Program for another week, this will be your last day with us. You have your choice of receiving a colonic or a myofacial release therapy or both - it is entirely up to you. Myofascial is the combination of muscular and fascial tissue. Fascia is also known as connective tissue, which binds the entire body together, supporting organs, bones and muscles, creating the right amount of tension in the body so that we are aligned in a erect posture. When the connective tissue tightens down it pulls the bones, blood vessels and nerves into a restrictive and cramped environment. By receiving this treatment, a feeling of openness and relaxation occurs which assists the body to return to a state where it can heal itself. The result is a reduction of pain, increase in range of motion and the feeling of well being.
Consultation: You will be having an hour of wrap up consultation to review an ongoing plan for you to take home so that you can continue your detox program. If you are staying longer it is an opportunity to review all of your progress and programs and adjust as it is necessary.
Day 7 (Saturday)
Departure: We recommend staying about a month to fully benefit from our detox programs, yet if you have to go back home, you will have a guided program where you can easily follow through. It is our goal to educate you so that you will be able to stay on a program that is suitable for you. Of course, we are always here to answer your questions and guide you to fulfill your goal even after you return to your home.
