Costa Rica · 7 days · From USD 1914
Over seven days and six nights, you'll eat, drink, and live the raw food lifestyle in a jungle setting that feels a world away from everyday stress. The cleanse is guided by how your body feels each day—some days you'll have simple whole fruits, other days you might create salads or blended creations together with the team. The focus is on giving your digestive system a break and providing your body with light, nutrient-dense foods that support natural detoxification.
A strong morning rhythm anchors the day. Alam leads a silent meditation he developed over a decade of Vipassana practice, followed by a breakfast of juices, smoothies, or fresh fruits. Then come embodied movement practices like lymphatic release exercises, Qi Gong, various forms of yoga, or calisthenics—always adjusted to your energy levels on that particular day. This is not about pushing your limits; it's about supporting your body's natural cleansing process through gentle, mindful movement.
The retreat also incorporates wisdom from Traditional Chinese Medicine, specifically the Five Elements theory, to understand what might be out of balance in your life. Alam, a trained shiatsu and acupressure therapist, offers personalized sessions to help release tension and support the detoxification process. You'll also have the chance to connect with the local community of raw food enthusiasts and healing practitioners, offering a glimpse into a lifestyle where fruit forests and conscious living are the norm.
Weekends and afternoons offer time for true immersion in nature. You might trek through Cahuita National Park, swim in a jungle river, sunbathe on the wild Caribbean coastline, or visit the fruit farms that supply this ancestral way of eating. Evenings can end with an herbal steam sauna at a local community, followed by stargazing and reflection. The retreat is designed to be both a reset and an education, leaving you with practical tools to integrate what you've learned into your life back home.
