A warm and wholesome welcome with these Whole Truth Retreat raw food snacks- buckwheat onion bread, seed crackers, raw vegan cream cheese, spiced cashews, and organic strawberries. Hello!
Our last meal at the Whole Truth Retreat- the kitchen alchemy gave us gold!
Lisa Rae Tarr- our inspired, passionate and utterly dedicated raw food chef and juice master. If that wasn't enough already, she's also an expert on nutrition & natural health.
This morning's haul from the market- getting set for a week long Juice Cleanse with beautiful, locally and organically grown veggies for juicing and broth.
Butternut, carrot and ginger juice with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Tastes like a golden, happy harvest 🌻🌻🌻

How you transition from a juice fast to solid food again is important.

Convenience, good digestion, excellent nutrition and high vibrations all in one delicious package :)
FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR JUICE CLEANSING PROGRAMME AND WHAT IT CAN DO FOR YOU HERE >>>
All meal options offer excellent, highly accessible nutrition and rest the often overloaded digestive system, allowing the body to shift into healing and repair mode. Depending on the length of your stay, you may experience a reduction in inflammation (the precursor to all disease), increased energy, natural weight loss, the eradication of minor health complaints (eg. mucus conditions, skin complaints, joint stiffness), and a noticeable improvement in more major ones.
​
Probiotic and fermented foods restore gut health, often a factor in chronic illness or fatigue. Light, easily digested meals, or liquid nutrition in the form of juices and broth, also support quietness and clarity of mind making this the ideal nourishment for the retreat space. Meals and juices are made with great skill, care, mindfulness and love, under the guidance of a qualified nutritionist.
​
If you would like to receive instruction on food preparation in order to support the continuation of healthy eating and cleansing practices on your return home, this is possible. Water fasting or dry fasting support is available on request.
​
Several options are available for your retreat, usually used in combination:
Juice Cleanse:
​
This option is excellent for detox, radical physical reset; treating chronic illness and inflammation. This includes three cold pressed juices at intervals throughout the day, as well as herbal, food, and vitamin supplements tailored to your nutritional / health and healing needs.
wheat grass, aloe, and rejuvelac are grown / wild harvested / self made by Tasha, your facilitator. Post juice cleanse raw food is served for a time for the transition out of a juice cleanse can be challenging, and its an important part of the process to move through gently and with awareness.
​
Raw Food:
This option is high in life force and rich in enzymes for better digestion and absorption. Meals are created freshly, using large amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables, and activated seeds, nuts, and grains. Also offered are special creations such as pro-biotic nut cheeses and whole seed crackers dehydrated at a low heat to keep digestive enzymes intact. Healthy desserts are made with natural unrefined sweeteners such as dates and raw honey, which have wonderful health benefits.
​
Plant Based:
​
This option supports the acid / alkaline balance in your body, your digestive health, and your hormonal balance on an ongoing basis. Without the inclusion of any processed or refined ingredients, this meal program offers light, cooked, whole foods with a large raw food component, a wonderful introduction to a healing, cleansing diet if a juice cleanse is not appropriate for you at this time.
​
RETREAT PACKAGES:
If you are unable to get away due to existing commitments, you may be interested in a retreat at your home or other venue that is convenient for you. Private bookings with Tasha are available for a limited period during US Summer 2019.
