THE WHOLE TRUTH RETREAT: Summer 2017
Crystal Kloof Conservancy, Overberg, Western Cape
ELEMENTAL ORIGINS:
10th-14th Nov 2017
At our 5 day Summer Retreat, we welcome in the world as it is, immersing ourselves in the elemental forces of an untouched, wilderness environment and finding balance and understanding as we work with those same forces within.
An exploration of the five elements forms the foundations of our time together as we journey back to the basics of being. Stepping away from
the demands and intrusions of the modern world, we find deep nourishment, healing and joy in living simply, close to the earth.
Reawakening our intimate connection with the Earth, we return to a relationship of reciprocity. In these times of environmental chaos, brought about humanity's continuing neglect, the honouring, celebration and offering of true presence to our world is a vital contribution to future harmony.
Over 5 days you will have the opportunity to:
-
Uncover your body’s vibrant state of being through our programme of physical cleansing and natural nutrition
-
Enliven your everyday experience with simple tools to support optimum nourishment, breathing, movement and healing, forming a strong foundation for holistic wellbeing

VENUE:
Crystal Kloof is an untouched paradise of mossy forest, waterfall and mountain majesty, offering off-the-grid, earth-built accommodation. Weather permitting, some nights may be spent sleeping at other tented or open air locations on the conservancy.
MENU:
This retreat has a raw food menu on the first and last days to ease you into and out of the 3 day cleansing fast. Raw food meals and juices are thoughtfully and lovingly created and will astound you with their unbelievably delicious tastes and variety, and inspire you to a new way of feeding yourself and your family.
We use locally sourced, organically grown fruit and vegetables, as we've found that high quality, fresh produce offers you the deepest and most complete cleanse, and restores your body to a state of balance and satisfied nourishment.
We grow our own wheatgrass and microgreens, vibrant with life force and phytonutrients for only-just-harvested plant power. Preferring supplements from natural sources, we wild harvest the renowned South African remedy Aloe ferox for juicing and brew our own alkalising apple cider vinegar tonic.
Feeding yourself cleanly, lightly and naturally allows you to experience your body in a state of wellness that you may never have felt before.
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 🌻🌻🌻
Our first rawfood supper at the Whole Truth Retreat: tomato & pea chia curry with cauliflower rice, carrot-orange sambal, mango chutney, minted cucumber cashew yoghurt and spiced onion flatbread.
Our eighteenth! and last juice this week- beetroot, carrot, lemon, ginger, with a sea green spirulina chaser, made totally palatable with a tiny piece of blended banana.
Raw food Lasagne coming out of the Whole Truth Retreat kitchen at Bodhi Khaya - a whole lotta uncooking going on!
A superboost of antioxidants + Vitamin C in a glass of Carrot, Orange Pomegranate Juice, with Lemon, Ginger and Cayenne chaser for building internal heat.
Wild harvested Aloe ferox and freshly juiced wheatgrass for internal healing and deep cellular cleansing.
First food after a day Vision Questing- organic figs, guavas, pineapple, pomegranate & five kinds of handmade raw chocolate!
How you transition from a juice fast to solid food again is important. To avoid the possibility of a roadside pie landing in a freshly cleansed and rested gut, we send our retreatants home with takeaways! Convenience, good digestion, excellent nutrition and high vibrations all in one delicious package :)
