About the 3-Night-retreat

​

Did you know that the colon (part of the large intestine) keeps the residues of meals ingested more than a year ago!

These toxins create blockages, themselves, source of many more or less serious chronic diseases: from constipation to anemia, from bloating to skin issues, excess weight to anxiety, bloating or chronic indigestion, Ama, which means "what is not cooked, what is not digested “ in Sanskrit, is the source of a dysfunctional digestive tract, itself being the cause of all diseases according to Ayurveda, the thousand-year-old Indian medicine.

Whether it's physical particles that aren't eliminated properly or emotional wounds that we “haven't digested", these toxins slow down one’s metabolism and keep one from moving forward.

The benefits of a colon cleansing, the right way

 

Ayurveda considers the human being according to his unique nature and categorizes him according to three constitutions: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Most of the diseases associated with Vata are in the colon, those associated with Pitta in the small intestine and in the stomach for Kapha. This retreat will allow you to purify the entire digestive system to maintain your current health, treat existing symptoms and prevent diseases:

 

It reduces:

  1. Chronic fatigue, lethargy, lack of desires and depression

  2. Gaz and bloating

  3. Lumbar pains, arthritis, sciatica and numbing or even some types of paralysis

  4. Nerve strains, anxiety and sleep-related issues

  5. Skin problems

  6. Hair fall

  7. Hypertension

  8. Diabetes

  9. Asma

  10. Joints pains

  11. The amount of toxins in your body

  12. The risks of colon cancer

​

It will improve or contributes to improving:

  1. your energy 

  2. your concentration

  3. Your weight loss efforts

  4. The well absorption of vitamins & nutrients

  5. The performance of your digestive system as a whole

  6. Fertility

The Method

​

You will join a small group of about 10 people to ensure the privacy and sense of safety, necessary to any deep healing process.

  1. The method used is non-invasive (this isn’t an enema). We will follow a yogic practice proven by the millenary science of Ayurveda that prescribes the ingestion of salt water together with adapted yoga asanas.

  2. The procedure itself lasts a couple of hours and is followed by a long period of rest. This is the moment when you will empty yourself of what no longer has any use for the body. You will immerse yourself in a gentle yoga suitable to this particular treatment, meditation, sound therapy and relaxation within a beautiful and quiet nature.

  3. You will have the opportunity to journal and be within.

  4. You will also learn the great concepts that govern the creation of toxins and how to avoid them in the future to change daily routine and bad habits. 

  5. The meals which follow are intentionally easily digestible while your digestive tract rebuilds its natural defences.

  6. You will observe a clear improvement of your energy after about 24 hours to 48 hours and will feel light, full of spirit, "clean" physically, mentally and emotionally.

  7. ​

What is Ayurveda
​

The Millenary Indian medicine, Mother of all medicines (from Chinese, through Hippocrates, the founder of modern medicine), Ayurveda first considers global health: of the soul, body and mind. It makes the digestive system the foundation of good health and insists that healing treatments depend on your unique constitution, also known as dosha. Whether it's diet, lifestyle or herbal medicines, what's good for one is not necessarily good for the other. In Ayurveda, One size doesn’t fit all.
