The Program
The fasting week begins on Sunday evening at 6:00 p.m. with a group orientation session. From that moment on, the journey of self-discovery and healing can begin.
Freshly squeezed fruit juices are served in the morning. At lunch and dinner, you can look forward to a nourishing and soothing vegetable broth made from organically grown vegetables. In between meals, you can help yourself to harmonized water and soothing herbal teas at any time.
During the day, we offer a light program of activities tailored to fasting. You can choose from yoga, meditation, archery, hiking, snowshoeing, and informative lectures.
Friday evening will be something special: You’ll break your fast over dinner with an easily digestible meal. Afterward, you’ll share your experiences as a group with a closing ritual.
