Program
In this current climate and lifestyle, Eco Detox believes that detoxing through fasting is not only recommendable but absolutely fundamental if you want to live healthy long lives. Fasting makes it possible to eliminate all the harmful substances that you have accumulated over the years due to bad health habits and excesses in your diet, as well as those absorbed from the environment in which you live.
As your emotional and physical bodies are interconnected, when you begin to fast, emotions that have been lying dormant for a long time are released, allowing you to be liberated from old feelings weighing you down. Your bodies carry unimaginable wisdom and by getting out of its way, through the simple act of ceasing to eat for a few days, you allow it a space where it can begin to heal.
You do not need to do more than that, only create the right conditions and environment for the healing to take place. Fasting at home can be a challenging experience as you are surrounded by your usual temptations - fasting away from this in the supportive company of the group is what makes this retreat not only an easier but thoroughly enjoyable process.
Eco Detox believes in creating a space for self-healing, a place where people feel cared for and looked after, and after which they return to normal life feeling empowered and motivated to make conscious choices and manifest the life they desire. There is a full program that you can attend, such as yoga classes, hiking, meditation, 5 Rhythms dance, sun-gazing, and nutrition workshops.
Sungazing
This is a guided meditation using an ancient Toltecan technique of gazing at the sun during the safe times of sunrise and sunset. It is a beautiful, gentle, and loving meditation on being in the present moment, bringing your sense of awareness to your breath and body.
Yoga
You will practice Kundalini, Hatha, and Yin yoga whilst at the retreat. You start the day with a Kundalini sadhana, which includes pranayama and meditation, working the body on a more energetical level. Each day there will then be a second yoga class of Hatha or Yin yoga. In Hatha yoga, the asanas will focus on detoxing the body's organs, aiding in the fasting process, as well as giving you an opportunity to listen and connect with your body.
You will look at different breathing and pranayama techniques. Yin yoga will be a more relaxing and meditative class, holding the asanas for longer periods of time working the body at a deep tissue level, and increasing circulation and flexibility. All classes will be at all levels.
Nutrition class
During the retreat, there will be classes with a nutritionist and naturopath. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about nutrition, as much about the process during the fast as well as your normal dietary routine. Get some great tips for making some simple changes to your diet for increased energy and wellness.
Movement and dance workshops
In the body, there is an emotional memory that often is blocked. In the retreat, you use movement and music to unlock some of these memories to feel lighter, less restrained, and freer. You use techniques both in group and solo work to go deeper into this experience, and connect with others and parts of yourselves forgotten or hidden.
Meditation
Throughout the retreat, you will experience different guided meditations from vipassana, sungazing, and mindfulness. Techniques of concentration and breathing from ancient cultures are incorporated to create a space between your thoughts; with simple practices, you can incorporate these empty spaces of everyday life and give your rushing minds pause for a moment.
Hiking
The house is surrounded by beautiful trails and paths leading through woodland, forests, and mountains, and each day you will go on a hike. Contact with nature is also part of the nutritional side of self-care; walking and breathing gives you a high level of inner nutrition. The sunset requires a climb and each evening you will do this hike and practice sungazing at the top with a stunning view of the valley below.

Massages
Massage treatments include Thai, Ayurveda, or Chi Nei Tsang for an extra cost of 60 EUR each for 90 minutes. All are recommended to aid in the detox process.
Thai massage
Thai massage (which in Thai means "old-fashioned") is a type of massage -or perceptive massage- that consists of deep stretching. This form of bodywork is usually performed on the floor in comfortable clothing that allows movement.
Chi Nei Tsang
The Chi Nei Tsang is a Taoist method that consists of a massage for the internal organs that is applied directly to the abdomen. The intestine is considered the place where food waste is processed as well as an emotional waste of the person since it has its own "Brain" (Enteric Nervous System), which means that the abdominal area is frequently blocked. To release blockages and restore the normal flow of energy in the rest of the organs, they will apply this ancestral technique.
