Holistic Detox in Berlin
Have you heard about detox but are not sure how, what, when, and where? What is detox anyway? Give yourself a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and experience the benefits of fasting for yourself in a community in the middle of nature and fresh air.
3-Day Juice Fasting
In this three-day juice detox, you will consume three fresh-pressed organic juices, made from organic, local, or seasonal fruits and vegetables, which contain many important vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. There will also be detoxifying herbal teas and fresh spring water available all day.
During the retreat, you will be mentored 24/7 and you'll receive valuable advice to get the most out of your detox process. The retreat will not only be concerned with the physical benefits of fasting, but also with the mental and emotional processes for which we will create a safe environment together.
Fasting benefits
What kind of results can you anticipate from fasting? The benefits of fasting can manifest in various ways.
However, fasting does not only lead to changes in your physical appearance. You can also mentally and emotionally let go of habits and beliefs that may not be serving you anymore. Your mind can calm down, your senses can sharpen, and your awareness can expand. Curious to experience what happens in the body when you fast?
- Detoxification by eliminating toxins accumulated from processed foods, environmental pollutants, and other sources.
- Weight Loss by consuming overall less calories, the body retrieves energy from burning stored fat (from the liver) instead. This may lead to weight loss or more defined muscles, especially in athletes and slim people.
- Improved Digestion by giving the digestive system a break from solid foods allows it to rest and repair, reducing bloating and digestive discomfort.
- Activation of Body´s Self-Healing Power by giving the body tremendous time and energy to heal itself.
- Enhanced Mental Clarity - Often, people suppress uncomfortable things by eating or snacking. Instead of using the energy for digestion, the energy can now go to cognitive function, leading to more mental clarity.
- Strengthening the Immune System by promoting the production of immune cells, helping the body fight off infections and illnesses.
- Reducing inflammation - depuffed face and joints may lead to more flexibility
- Improved Skin Health - clearer, brighter skin as toxins are flushed out and nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables nourish the skin from within.
- Emotional Well-being: Fasting can have positive effects on mood and emotional well-being by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression and promoting a sense of calm and balance.
- Spiritual Growth
Program
The preparation for the three-day fasting retreat starts on Monday before you fast. You will receive a comprehensive guide covering how to best prepare for the upcoming three-day fast. These will be three preparation days where you start eliminating certain foods from your diet. The in-person retreat will start on Friday afternoon.
Participants will start the days with a fresh juice, sharing circles, meditation, or breathing exercises, followed by an easy hike through the forest. You will also look into what happens in the body when you fast and how psychological factors, exercise, and relaxation influence the detox process.. Saturday will be the second fasting day, where you will have a detox workshop covering measures that support the detox process, such as liver compresses and lymphatic (drainage) massages, and a fire ceremony with journaling at night. Sunday will be the third day of fasting and the group will go into how to best reintroduce food after the fast.
After you have gone home, the program will end with three days of reintroducing food strategically for easier digestion and a comprehensive guide so you can fast independently in the future.

What´s Special
There is no need to take vacation days off of work since the retreats are on weekends from Friday to Sunday. It is easily accessible by public transport from Berlin Rathaus Spandau and offers a low-cost opportunity to experience juice fasting because of the cozy camping vibe and outdoorsy retreat.
Food=Drink
You will be served three glasses of fresh pressed juices a day starting Friday and ending Sunday. The morning juice has a higher fruit content to kickstart our day. At lunch, we have juice to refuel our energy sources. And for dinner, we have a greener juice, lighter in fruit contents to prepare for a good night's sleep.
Location
The oasis is located in the small community of Schönwalde-Glien, directly at the Spandau Forest, easily accessible with public transport from Berlin. In the middle of nature, the 1,100m2 retreat garden with the communal tipi tent, sunbeds, hammock, and fireplace radiates coziness and invites community. On the property, there is a small cabin with a kitchen, shower, and toilet. There is a maximum of 10 spots to keep an intimate setting.
Accommodation
Accommodation will take place in a shared communal tipi tent for eight to ten people.
Two people can book the double bed in the bedroom of the cabin for an additional charge. The Cabin has a bedroom with a foldable sliding door. It comes with an infrared heater, although I doubt you will need any extra heat during summer. This bedroom does not have a private bathroom. The bathroom for all retreat participants is in the cabin.
Of course, you can also bring your private tent. In the 1,100m2 garden, there is enough space for everyone.
