🌊 Water Fast Retreat | March
A science-backed reset for cellular healing, detox & renewal
What if healing wasn’t about adding more…
but about giving your body the space to repair itself?
This March, join us for a deeply supported Water Fast Retreat, grounded in both ancient wisdom and modern science, designed to help your body reset at a cellular level — safely, gently, and intentionally.
🧬 Why fasting?
When we stop eating for a period of time, the body undergoes powerful, well-researched biological processes that are not accessible during constant feeding.
During a properly supported water fast, the body can:
✨ Activate autophagy
Autophagy is the body’s internal recycling system — a Nobel Prize–winning discovery. During fasting, the body begins to break down damaged, dysfunctional cells and proteins and repurpose them for energy, making room for healthier cells to regenerate.
✨ Reduce inflammation
Chronic inflammation is at the root of many modern health challenges. Fasting has been shown to lower inflammatory markers and give the immune system a chance to recalibrate.
✨ Rest the digestive system
Digestion requires a huge amount of energy. When digestion pauses, that energy can be redirected toward cellular repair, detoxification, and healing.
✨ Improve insulin sensitivity & metabolic flexibility
Constant eating keeps insulin elevated. Fasting allows insulin levels to drop, supporting blood sugar balance and metabolic reset.
✨ Support detoxification pathways
The liver, lymphatic system, and cells themselves are better able to eliminate stored toxins when the body is not processing food.
✨ Regulate the nervous system
In a calm, supported environment, fasting can shift the body out of fight-or-flight and into parasympathetic “rest and repair” mode — where healing truly happens.
🌿 This is not extreme or unsupervised fasting
This retreat is not about willpower, deprivation, or pushing the body.
It is a structured, guided, and supported experience, designed to respect the body’s intelligence and individual needs.
You’ll be held every step of the way, with:
• Expert guidance throughout the fast
• Daily check-ins and gentle monitoring
• Education around the science of fasting and healing
• Deep rest, reflection, and nervous system support
• A mindful, intentional re-feeding process to safely transition back to food
No prior fasting experience is required, only a willingness to slow down and listen to your body.
If you’ve been feeling inflamed, depleted, stuck, or disconnected from your body…
this retreat offers the conditions for true reset and renewal.
