You could, but doing it alone in your daily environment can be challenging. Here you are removed from food triggers, notifications, and stress. You get the holding space of a secluded valley by a waterfall, daily supportive practices, emotional release work, and direct guidance from Miia and Rami. Things a kitchen juicer just can’t provide.

The fresh juices are made from whole, plant-based fruits and vegetables. If you have specific fruit/vegetable allergies or intolerances, just let us know upon booking so we can omit those specific ingredients from your juices.

It is normal for the body to release stored toxins, which can sometimes mean a brief headache or low energy in the first couple of days. That is why the schedule is built with plenty of rest, quiet time, and gentle movement rather than rigid demands. You go at your own pace, and Miia and Rami are right there to support you through it.

Not at all. While the sharing circles, yoga, and workshops are deeply transformative, this is your process. If you need to skip a session to sleep in, sit by the waterfall, or rest in your room, you have total freedom to do so.

It is an ancient yogic practice (known as Shankhaprakshalana) designed to completely flush your digestive tract before you introduce solid food.

How it works:
You drink warm, heavily salted water followed by a few targeted stretches. Because the water’s salinity matches your blood, your kidneys reject it. Instead of absorbing the liquid, your body forces it straight down your digestive pipe. It acts as a high-pressure wash, resulting in a massive, undeniable evacuation of your bowels.

Why it is important:
During the fast, your body scrapes deep, toxic waste off your intestinal walls. If you simply start eating again, you will reabsorb it. This flush is the final sweep it washes all that loosened debris out the back door so you break your fast with a pristine system.

The Ekadashi Moon Cycle Connection:
This cleanse is tied to the ancient Ekadashi lunar calendar. Human beings are roughly 70% water. Just as the moon’s gravity dictates the ocean tides, it physically pulls on the water inside your body. We align this flush with the moon’s phases to use that gravitational pull, maximizing the downward release and drawing toxins out of your deep tissues.

Most people arrive solo. Because everyone shares the same experience, a deep sense of community forms naturally from day one. Between song circles, sharing spaces, and quiet nature, you’ll feel part of the group immediately with plenty of space for solitude whenever you need it.
