THE WHOLE TRUTH RETREAT WATER FAST
​
In a world of constant input, water fasting offers a rare and powerful pause, a return to the most elemental form of nourishment. This deeply restorative process invites the body into profound repair and the mind into quiet clarity. Held in the supportive stillness of Stanford’s natural beauty, our water fasting retreat is a guided immersion into simplicity, healing, and inner listening.
While the idea of going without food may seem daunting, many find themselves surprised by the lightness and vitality that emerges. As the body turns inward to cleanse and regenerate, unnecessary burdens, both physical and emotional, begin to release. With attentive care and expert guidance, this fast becomes not just a detox, but a pilgrimage home to your essential self.
Every part of the journey is considered: from your gentle pre-cleanse at home, to the reintroduction of nourishing whole foods afterwards. Herbal teas, broths, and tonics are offered to support the process when needed. Space is also held for rest, reflection, and the unexpected insights that tend to arise when all distractions fall away.
