  • Do I need any prior experience?

    No. Whether you are deeply established on your path and practice a raw living foods lifestyle, or whether you're completely new to cleansing, retreats and inner work, we welcome and work with all. We just require an openess and willingness to learn and go within.

  • What kind of food is served?

    We are a retreat space dedicated to raw living foods. We source our fruits from the neighbouring fruit forests and local farmer's markets. Depending on your choice of retreat, you will enjoy fresh pressed juices, whole tropical fruits (familiar and rare), grounding raw living salads and occasional raw vegan gourmet style creations.

  • What if strong emotions/processes arise?

    This is a big part of your journey here and is a call for celebration. This is a natural part of the detoxification process and the letting go. You will recieve close support and containment by expert and experienced guides, male and female. Participants are responsible for their own boundaires and any significant health conditions should be disclosed beforehand.

  • What are the accomodations like?

    Our current facilities are simple yet designed for maximum confort in a tropical and wild jungle environment. All rooms are carefully screened for the bugs, we have a mixture of rooms, some en-suite and some with a shared bathroom depending on how many are on retreat at one time. All guests have their own private room.

  • Do you have wifi?

    We have fast strong wifi connection, and can be used by guests at their own discretion. We recommend coming offline as much as possible, and we find the natural setting and environment organically invites this.

  • What should I bring?

    Avoid bringing any clothing or valuables that are very precious to you. The humid tropical environment is unforgivng. Please bring a flashlight, any natural cosmetics, toiletries and soaps you need for your stay. Bring a mixture of long sleeve/pants when it cools and clothing for heat. Quick drying cottons and linens work best. Bring a journal.
