5-Day Juice Fast Detox Spring Retreat 2017
Take the opportunity to do something wonderful for yourself!

Join us for a 5-Day Juice Fast and take the opportunity to not only do something wonderful for your body, but to also gain knowledge from Louise so you can make cleansing and fasting a part of your lifestyle.

Our detox retreat has been carefully planned to support you on a personal journey and empower you with the practical skills required to incorporate a fasting practice into your regular lifestyle. You will learn how to select and prepare ingredients for your juices, what techniques you can adopt to help you during your 5-Day Juice Fast and how to re-introduce solid food back into your body in the healthiest way.

Feel cleansed, energised, healthy and revived with more than just ingredients for your juices. You will also have access to many activities at Kawai Purapura; bush walks, yoga and meditation classes, spa, sauna and massage are just some of the things you can enjoy while you are here. And with 19 acres of beautiful forest land surrounding the centre, you can relax and appreciate your time here at your own pace.

Why Fast?
In the early days, people fasted towards the end of winter because their food stocks ran out. They took advantage of a natural cleansing opportunity. Today, there is so much food about that we eat far more than we need, a lot of it is processed and often indigestible, we never take a day off from eating and therefore never get rid of the waste that builds up and causes disease.

Detox, fasting, cleansing. There are many other names you could use but they all refer to a process where you abstain from eating and drinking all or some kinds of foods. You may have come across some of the more well-known benefits of fasting. Weight loss and spiritual/religious observances are a couple of them but there are many more great benefits to fasting.

Here are seven reasons why a Detox is so good and can help you take better care of yourself:
1. Encourages you to eat cleaner
2. Strengthens your immune system
3. Improves brain Function
4. Your skin will glow
5. Gives the digestive system a break
6. Strengthens your willpower
7. Connect with your spirituality
