Rejuvenate body, mind and spirit with Vagabond Temple's Detox Cleanse Program. Detox is the process of enhancing the body’s natural detoxification process through fasting, relaxation and rest. Your bodies are always working hard to eliminate toxins. In particular, your digestive systems are under a lot of strain to process caffeine, alcohol, preservatives and other toxins that regularly feature in the modern Western diet. Stress, anxiety and negative thought patterns are also major toxins that impact on your physical and emotional health.
When you detox, you will not starve yourself – you are allowing the body to rest. When you fast, the energy that normally goes into digestion can be redirected to other areas. Fasting accelerates the elimination of toxins from your bodies and can help strengthen the digestive system, relieve aches and pains and improve the overall health of the internal organs.
It can be very difficult to detox alone. The process can bring up negative emotions as well as physical symptoms, and it is easy to give in to our cravings without a supportive environment. At Vagabond Temple, you will detox in a spiritual community of like-minded people, with a dedicated mentor to guide you. The daily yoga and meditation retreat program is both relaxing and energizing, allowing for a seamless detoxification process without any stress or disruption. The location – green, quiet and free of air pollution – is also ideal.

The fasting period can be modified to include coconuts, fruit or other raw foods for participants with special requirements. Your mentor will monitor your progress and ensure that you understand what is going on in your mind and body at each step of the detox process.
A consultation meeting will take place before the detox begins, where a personalized detox fasting program will be determined. All students are required to follow the code of conduct to ensure a smooth running of the retreat. Attendance in all classes is a must as each class contributes to the next. If you experience any difficulties and cannot attend for any reason, please inform the teachers.
Vagabond Temples does not use any detoxification products, as they follow the natural hygiene method, which understands the healing process as completely natural and free from any artificial disturbance. Therefore, while undergoing their detoxification program, you will consume only coconut water, juice, raw food and water according to your needs.
