Inner Light Retreat

What is DetoxiVacation?

Our unique program is all about setting the right pace. If one does not prepare for a detox properly and jumps right into it – the “fasting withdrawal” or severe reactions may occur. We will start working with you before you set a foot in our retreat by guiding you through a preparation process.
During the retreat we will have a mixed program which combines:

• Liquid days: gentle fasting with delicious juices prepared specially for your needs and live green cocktails, both sweet and savory). These will provide high levels of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.

• Raw food days: in addition to juices and cocktails, we will serve a variety of healing raw food dishes such as salads, warm and cold soups, delicious main dishes and snacks.

On your arrival day you will be picked up at one of San Francisco area airports (SFO, OAK) or you may arrive by your means of transportation. We will have an introductory day where we’ll get a chance to meet each other and look around the surroundings. Either on that day or next day you will sit down with our nutritionist (who will contact you before your arrival and provide you with questionnaires and instructions on how to prepare for the retreat) and she will come up with a nutritional plan for your specific needs.

What is a typical day like?
Sleep as long as you need (we believe in healing powers of sleep), upon waking join us for breakfast (either raw foods or fresh custom-made juices) . After that you might want to take a walk or hike or lounge in the house. Have a hands-on experience preparing a raw food lunch or juicing or just enjoy it on the veranda and rest. Have one of your scheduled treatments (massage, aromatherapy, ionic foot bath etc), then join us for yoga or meditation session. Partake in dinner and later if you wish- stay to participate in a conversation, play a board game, watch a movie etc. Or retire in your room and wind down in a special detoxi–relaxing bath (we will provide the ingredients).
On some days we might offer outings to mineral waters, bath houses, distant beaches and other wondrous destinations.

How many people will be there?
We strive to provide personalized experience to our participants and therefore choose only small venues (of exceptional quality). The group size will be 4 to 7 participants.

What to bring?
• Comfortable clothing for varying weather: layers of hiking clothes, comfortable walking shoes. Sunblock, sun hat and a raincoat.
• Bathing suit and bath robe and slippers for visiting the hot tub.
• Comfortable clothes and house slippers for lounging inside and easy yoga, plus your own favorite yoga mat if you wish.
• Books, CDs and movies. You will have time to catch up on all that reading you’ve been wanting to do and more. We will also provide a small library of books and films that will hopefully inspire you as much as they did us.
• Journal. Even if you are not a regular avid diary keeper we highly recommend bringing a notebook to record both your transformational in-sights and useful information (we will be sure to stream your way: from recipes to things you never knew existed ).
• Toiletries. Please note that many people have sensitivities to artificial scents and perfumes, especially during a detox process olfactory perception may become very acute- so please be sensitive when you choose your supplies.
