How to conduct yourself before and after the retreat: 

  • Seven or more days before the fast, please abstain from  alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, sugar, dairy, wheat, animal meat, fish, and eggs. Try to consume mainly organic fruits, vegetables, and beans.
  • Breaking of the fast will be initiated on the last day and a half of the retreat, but you are advised to resume normal eating slowly and gradually for another week. The customary program is as follows:
  • Day 1: Two pieces of fruit. Each piece of fruit is divided in half so there are four servings for that day.
  • Day 2: Lightly steamed non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach.
  • Day 3: Brown rice, fresh salad.
  • Day 4: Organic yogurt, unflavored and unsweetened. Eggs.
  • Day 5: Meat, chicken, fish, tofu, if eaten.

People shouldn't try a juice fast before or after surgical procedures.
  • A juice fasting can reduce blood proteins and change the way prescription drugs react in the body. People taking prescription medications should inform us before enlisting into the retreat, and in case they parcipitate in it, should never discontinue or reduce their medications on their own.
