“I had only heard the saying ‘the gut is the second brain’ before, but this journey taught me so much more. I now truly understand the importance of giving the gut a rest—it was such an amazing experience!” — Feedback from the one-day fasting retreat.
We invite you to spend a weekend setting aside eating habits and tuning in to the deeper messages of your body and mind.
Escape the city’s noise to a serene spot on the North Coast, where artistic vibes meet the deep blue sea—a perfect place to slow down and rejuvenate your mind and body.
Here, free from phone signals, Ayurveda’s wisdom and healing energy soothe the soul. During fasting, we’ll craft vibrant juices and nourishing soups, gently replenishing the body.
Ayurveda’s ancient wisdom and a pause for the digestive system guide us toward a deeper connection with our bodies.
What To Expect
Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware.
Put down your phones and communicate with the world attentively.
Stay weird and stay unique.
Fasting Guide: Liz
In this fasting experience, Liz will systematically share the connections between Ayurveda, nutrition, fasting, and overall health. Over two days, we will safely explore fasting while preparing healthy, fasting-friendly meals together with our companions.
Liz, originally from South Africa, came to Taiwan by chance and has been living on this beautiful island for 30 years. Upon her arrival in Asia, Liz was deeply attracted to the traditional healing methods found across the continent. She admired Asia's traditional wisdom regarding health and longevity, which fueled her passion for in-depth research.
Liz has incorporated colon hydrotherapy into her daily routine for 8 years. Since 2015, she has also been promoting three-day fasting retreats in Taiwan, hoping to assist participants in discovering health habits that suit them and gradually making these habits part of their lifestyle, thus creating their own health habit maps.
