Detox and Rejuvenate 5 Day Juice Fasting Retreat
with Health Team
May 7 - 11, 2019
The Juice Fasting Retreat is an oasis where you will be able to draw physical, mental and spiritual refreshment in a peaceful environment. Take time away from the demands of your regular daily life and remain sheltered from the challenges and struggles of the materialistic world. Experience the power of this holistic rejuvenation program.
How does it unfold?
During your stay, you will receive daily superfood vegetable juices, alkalizing greens, and fruit juices throughout the day. Our juices are organic, raw, and cold-pressed to provide you with maximized nutrient-density.
Three days before you arrive for the 5-day juice cleanse, you must shift your diet to a cleaner diet and lifestyle. Although you can jump right in without the Juice Fast Prep Regime, it is NOT recommended as most people have more unpleasant symptoms during the first 2-3 days due to sudden detoxing. You will receive more benefit from the 5-day juice cleanse if you do your Prep Regime. The preparatory phase will also help break unhealthy attachments to sugar, caffeine, alcohol, red meat and processed foods.
Your retreat includes:
- Up to 6 Combination fruit and vegetable juices throughout the day
- Unlimited Homemade Seaweed Shitake Vegetable Broth
- Unlimited Spring Water with lemon or plain and one bottle structured water daily
- Unlimited herbal teas and homemade ginger-turmeric root tea daily

Why a Juice Fast?
- The Standard American Diet is termed SAD for a reason, and it makes us sick for several reasons including the way that our food is produced. Chemical fertilizers, herbicides and food additives cause an overload of toxins in our body.
- Our bodies are undernourished due to eating foods that are dead and depleted of nutrients.
Juice fasting at Heartwood is one of the best and fastest ways to detoxify and heal your body from many chronic diseases and conditions because it effectively removes toxins and naturally hydrates the body with nutrients that repair, rebuild and rejuvenate. While receiving education on the proper care and feeding of the human body, you have the opportunity to experience balance, self-confidence and inner peace through development of self-awareness and meditation skills.
In an attempt to make this wellness retreat available to all, we will offer a limited number of partial scholarships. To apply, please email us [[email protected]] with the requested amount and a description of your hardship.
