THE WHOLE TRUTH RETREAT: Summer 2018
Crystal Kloof Conservancy, Overberg, Western Cape
TRUE NATURE-
5th-14th Jan 2018
When much of our existence is shaped around the needs and expectations of others, societal conditioning and even our own ideas of who we should be, we can lose touch with our essence, and spend our lives in a state of continual striving.
​
This retreat is an invitation to explore who we are beyond the limiting borders of belief, ego and unconscious patterns and expand into a more inclusive sense of self that opens us to our own perfection and potential.
At this Summer retreat, realign yourself with your natural state of being and its inherent harmony, creativity and intelligence. Explore ways to support and enhance the flow of life force in all aspects of yourself, and experience the joy and freedom that is the essence of who you already are.

The Whole Truth Retreat specialises in 7 and 10 day retreats that offer you the opportunity to experience the deep restfulness, simplicity and joy that may be found in the present moment, a space which we occupy far too seldom in our everyday lives. Our programme of physical cleansing, daily meditation & yoga, creative process, nature immersion, and the exploration of expanded states of consciousness forms a strong container in which awareness can grow.

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 two and last two days to ease you into and out of the 6 day organic juice cleanse. Raw food meals and juices are thoughtfully and lovingly created by raw food chef and nutrition expert Lisa Rae Tarr, 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 for a full 10 days allows you to experience your body in a state of wellness that you may never have felt before.

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 :)
