Fasting is not for everyone, but it might be for you!
Who should abstain from fasting?
Our Fasting, Nature Walking and Mindfulness Retreats are not “therapeutic” but rather for well-being, and are, therefore only suitable for people of general good health.
If you are unsure of your health, it is best to consult with your doctor before signing up for one of our retreats. Although we may offer some guidance, it is your sole responsibility to check that your state of health is compatible with your plans to fast.
