5-Day Fasting Retreat

Gentle, guided fasting

Adults 18+

Five days of guided fasting in the quiet of the rainforest, held gently by Nic and our team, with warm teas and broths and plenty of time to rest.

There is breathwork and gentle movement, a tea ceremony with Nic, rainforest walks and swims under the waterfall and in the creek, and the pool and sauna to enjoy. Quiet nights by the fire under the stars and your own canopy cabin give you real space to switch off.

You are looked after every step of the way, from the preparation guide before you arrive to a nourishing meal, made with love by Pete, shared together at the end. All you need to do is slow down and settle in.

Packing

What to bring

  • A few pairs of swimmers for the sauna, pool and creek
  • Warm, cosy clothes and PJs, as it gets cool up on the Mountain at night (evenings can drop to around 10°C / 50°F in cooler months)
  • Slippers or cosy socks, as we keep the cabins shoe-free
  • Walking shoes, a torch and a water bottle
  • A book or tablet for the hammock and quiet evenings
  • Please leave strong perfumes and deodorants at home. Subtle essential oils are fine.

From our guests

It really is the most special piece of land and the retreats are magical. The cooking, Nic's tea ceremony, the creek swimming, it's all magical.
