What To Expect

Pre-Retreat

You are encouraged to undergo a Pre-Retreat Cleanse to prepare your body for the deeper cleansing we will do at Wind Spirit.

This involves stopping any addictive substances that could cause unpleasant withdrawal symptoms during the cleanse, such as cigarettes, alcohol, coffee.

Sharon will have a one on one naturopathic session with you over Zoom to check in on your specific needs and intentions for the cleanse and guide you during the two weeks prior to coming.

Welcome and Connect

Welcome to your home for the next five days; settle in, explore, connect with the land and each other.

We will have an orientation walk around the property and an introduction to all the activities,
amenities and detox devices that are available for use throughout the fast.

This first evening starts with a sharing circle in the Forest Temple and a guided meditation, opening you to get crystal clear on  your intentions for the cleanse, so your body and being can prepare and relax and enjoy the magic of this beautiful place.

Your Body Exhales

For the next several days we detox the body with water ... or juices, broths, herbal teas and gentle cleansing drinks. You realise it is time to live the life you choose, honouring your body for the amazing creation that it is.

Each day we begin our morning with a beautiful country walk ... then move onto lymphatic movements, stretches and meditation in the beautiful Bali inspired ‘Dreaming Space’.

After checking your daily vitals and doing the recommended enema (or other practices to keep the colon clean) you are then free to relax in the beautiful grounds surrounded by sub-tropical rainforest, hang out in the Bali Hut and immerse yourself in the magnesium pool ... reading ... resting ... snoozing ... This is the gentle rhythm of each morning.

The days have their own pace, guided by what your body wisdom is calling for ... whether that be:

• A Hyperbaric Oxygen session
• PEMF session
• Contrast Therapy in the Infrared Sauna and Ice Bath
• Perhaps a massage - Kuhuna, Lymphatic Drainage or Reflexology
• Or Forest Bathing or Cloud Gazing in the magnesium Pool, the Infinity Bed, the Dreaming Space or simply lying on the earth.

You feel your life force surging through your body as you discover the inner courage to dive deeply into the fast. Your body feels safe...it stretches, exhales and surrenders!

At our daily check in we share information and education about the fast and you have the opportunity to share your experiences of the day and ask any questions that you may have. It is often a time of laughter and humility as we share the ups and challenges of this amazing fasting journey.... from experiences with parasites ... enemas ... feeling exhausted .... feeling elation ... feeling ill .... feeling incredible clarity. It is all there as your body wisdom carries you through the fast according to your own detoxification needs, and David and Sharon are always on hand to support you.

In the evening we have movie nights where we show some fabulous fasting docos to inspire you and keep you on track ... or feel free to Star Gaze on the hill, soak in the magical Moon Bath under the stars or go to bed early if your body is asking for that.

Your Mind Softens

Waking up to the gentle call of the sweetest birdsong, you emerge to witness the vast open sky embracing the caldera. As you take in the exquisite and expansive beauty of the valley far below you are aware that your mind is softening, becoming deliciously peaceful and quiet. You become aware of the silent saboteurs that have hijacked your mind and held you back from realising your
true path.

As the daily morning programme unfolds, you realise that today may be your day to undergo a one on one Journey session.

In this powerful session your body reveals and releases the insidious weeds of the unconscious ways you have limited yourself and blocked your potential.

By evening your mind willingly lets go and you gratefully merge with your own limitless potential cradled in the loving embrace of the vast pristine sky filled with a million sparkling stars.

As the physical cleanse continues you feel yourself softly welcoming and experiencing expanded moments of pure presence. You surrender to a deeper truth ... You enter sacred space.

BREAKING THE FAST

As the energetic toxicity of past physical, mental and emotional pain is released you feel that you are ‘over the hump’ and you finally open into the juice of life - joy, unconditional love, gratitude, humility, compassion - so you can let this divine energy guide your life.

It’s time to break the fast!

You receive the detailed education on how to break your fast properly and continue on your health journey when home.

In one powerful final fire ceremony under the dazzling night sky, you fully claim and embody your new-found freedom and passion, as you feel it vibrate with possibility in every cell of your body.

A surge of utter knowing curses through your entire being and you have the most magnificent feeling that your life will never be quite the same again.

Walking A New Path

You wake on this final morning with a clear future vision for your body, mind and spirit, where your unique life force guides you confidently and creatively, on an exciting and welcoming new path.

The morning includes a final integration in the Magical Meander or Spiral, followed by a meditation and closing circle in the Forest Temple, bringing the retreat to a close... but you smile as you realise that this is just the beginning...
