VENUE:

One of the original heritage houses in Stanford Village, the retreat venue is a characterful Cape Dutch building with many of its original features, furnished in simple, beautiful vintage style. 

A beautiful closed combustion fireplace in the lounge forms the warm heart of the house, and the space for morning yoga and evening meditation. High ceilings, wooden beams and original wooden floors lend a traditional coziness that’ll have you putting your feet up, country style, in no time.

Morning sun greets the back verandah, making it a delightful place to start the day. In the late afternoons the front ‘stoep’ is a perfect spot for tea as the sun goes down.

 

The view spills onto quiet roads and dusty lanes, affording a glimpse of authentic Stanford life passing by  - a restful joy to savour. The expansive garden is a private and secure haven in which to while away your free time, with fruit trees, veggie patch and prolific lavender bushes.

MENU:

The fruit, vegetables, and herbs used as the main part of all our delicious menu options are mostly sourced locally and organically, some being grown, chemical-free on site in the garden. 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.

Accompanying the juice cleanse, powerful natural detoxifying and nutritional supplements are provided, as well as an optional additional supplementation programme tailored to your specific needs.

The quality, freshness, and life force in the produce used makes a vast difference to the depth and power of the cleansing / healing processes. Feeding yourself cleanly, lightly and naturally allows you to experience your body in a state of wellness that you may never have felt before.

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.
