DETOX KIT

You will receive a detox kit to accompany your 10-day detox retreat and its designed to support the detoxification process. It consists of a loofah, detox support supplements, enema kit, toothpaste and tongue scraper.

Loofah/Dry Skin Brush

During your stay at our retreat we recommend using dry skin brushing rather than soap. You will learn to use a loofah, natural sea sponge or natural bristle body brush on your skin to help stimulate circulation and lymphatic flow. Before each shower you will gently rub your dry skin with the dry sponge, loofah or skin brush. We will coach you on how to do this and provide a handout.

Detox Support Supplements

There are three phases of the detoxification process. Proper detoxification during each phase relies on the constant support of nutrients. The detox support supplements we include in the kit will give you the exact required nutrients to support each phase.

Sun Protection & Lip Balm

We’ll provide you with  natural sunscreen made by local beekeepers with ingredients like organic Raspberry seed oil, organic coconut oil, NON NANO zinc, beeswax and organic lemongrass oil. This cream nourishes and provides protection from the sun.

Moisture your lips with Bee Boys Chocolate lip balm made from the finest Hawaiian grown chocolate, organic coconut oil, beeswax and propolis. Certified Naturally Grown in Hawaii.

Oral Hygiene

We’ll introduce you to natural, non-toxic toothpaste and tongue scraping to keep your breath minty fresh during the detox.

YOGA

Get out of your mind and into your body with daily centering, and movement of energy by practicing asanas. The group yoga practice will be suitable for all levels of practice. Do not be concerned if you’ve never done yoga. Our teacher will lead a class that guides each student according to their individual level of practice.

Movement of muscles will stimulate lymph flow which will support the detox. As we open up the muscles and the muscle casing (fascia) which stores memory and energy, we may experience a release that presents as a raw emotional state. With yoga during this detox retreat we want to work intentionally towards transmuting stored energy in the complex of the body/mind to a state of harmony and balance. This daily practice may release many stored feelings or emotions that’s been stuffed deep inside. Some may be recent emotions and some may be very old.

Yoga practice will be part of our process to restore balance and order into the body as we move into a place of clarity and resolution for the future.

SUPPORTING THE ORGANS OF ELIMINATION

Infrared Sauna

Far Infrared Saunas promote detoxification by heating tissue several inches deep which enhances natural metabolic processes and improve blood circulation, helping to oxygenate tissues. Infrared light is particularly good at mobilizing toxins from fat in the body. Fat-soluble toxins is a challenge for the body to get rid of, therefore using a method like infrared heat waves supports the body to mobilize these toxins. Fat-soluble toxins include man-made toxins like heavy metals, pesticides, preservatives, food additives, pollutants, plastics and other environmental chemicals.

Infrared Sauna with Niacin & Exercise

To expedite the mobilization and excretion of toxins we recommend using niacin (vitamin b3) in combination with exercise and sauna therapy. Exercise is key, in order to eliminate the toxins through your skin, otherwise, they’ll just end up being reabsorbed by your body. Using a sauna will also allow for excretion through your pores.

With the niacin sauna procedure you will take the niacin, weight 20 minutes and then exercise for 20 minutes, exercising hard enough to break a good sweat, then get into the sauna for up to 1 hour.

Dry Skin Brushing with Loofah/Dry Skin Brush

Brushing the skin gently is considered to be one of the best natural lymphatic cleansers. The lymphatic system acts as the body’s sewage system and the lymph fluid doesn’t actually move on its own. Dry skin brushing with a loofah or skin brush greatly enhances toxin elimination by moving the lymph fluid and stimulating blood circulation. Dry skin brushing further eliminates dead skin cells and helps new skin to regenerate. It opens the pores of the skin allowing better elimination through sweat. It also stimulates the immune system. In addition, the massaging effect of the bristles is known to be highly beneficial for eliminating cellulite.

Water Intake (throughout the day)

To aid the kidneys in adequate elimination, drink at least the equivalent of one-half your body weight in ounces daily, of filtered water. (For example, if you weigh 150lbs, aim for 75 oz water daily). In Hawaii we perspire more than we think and you particularly want to make sure you drink enough water. We will also provide tri-salts to add to your water which will be helpful to replace electrolytes lost through excessive sweating from sauna sessions.

MORNING WALK

We will start the mornings with moderate exercise doing sunrise walking meditations along scenic seaside paved or gravel roads. Walking destinations include Manini beach Ke’ei beach, tropical gardens, Peace gardens or historical trails, Keei king’s highway, Honaunau trails, and Kealakekua bay area.

Walking first thing in the morning will stimulate lymph flow, gently increase heart rate, lower blood pressure, promote sweating that helps to eliminate toxins, and encourage burning fat for fuel as breakfast will be at 10am to promote a longer fast between the last evening meal.

Studies show that exercise in the morning leads to deeper, longer, and higher-quality sleep which will promote rest and rejuvenation while on retreat.

Walking meditations serve as mindfulness training, a skill that will empower you to reduce stress through becoming more aware.

EVENING CIRCLE

We will have seven group circles during the retreat. The first circle will be the evening of arrival and will also serve as a welcome and orientation into our sacred space and an introduction to the cycle of initiation, maintenance, and mutation.

The purpose of the evening circles are educational and specifically to address the challenge of bringing about lasting change. Learn tools to be intentional in your life and create focused intentions. How to build habits, deal with emotions and connect with our spirit for direction and finally letting go of the old and facilitate rebirth. Learn how to incorporate self-care into your life and through self-care harness greater self-love, self-acceptance and reduced stress daily. Practice vulnerability with others and have social connection with fellow participants. Connection with others is key to keep us away from maladaptive coping mechanisms in our daily lives.

BODYWORK & DETOX TREATMENTS

Reflexology

The detox retreat package includes one reflexology session. Reflexology is the art and science of applying pressure on certain points on the sole of the feet to improve circulation, relieve tension, and promote relaxation throughout the entire body.

Scrub & Wrap

Get your entire body scrubbed down with a special mixture of dead sea salt, jojoba oil, and lemon essential oil that we make ourselves from the highest quality ingredients. The first purpose of the scrub is to exfoliate your skin by getting rid of dead skin cells to open up the pores for better elimination through the skin. The scrub will also improve texture of dull, bumpy and tired skin. The second purpose is to stimulate lymph flow through the scrubbing motions which will help to move the lymphatic fluid along to the lymph nodes.

Lemon oil stimulates lymphatic drainage, hydrates the skin, reduce cell and tissue damage caused by free radicals and also fight bacteria and fungi on the skin.

Jojoba oil moisturize the skin

After the scrub the salt will be gently washed off to prepare your skin for the wrap. The wrap can be either torf moor mud or a special mixture that we make consisting of ultra-ventilated green clay, fresh papaya, geranium oil and matcha powder.

You will finish this treatment with ultra-soft, glowing skin. The package includes one scrub & wrap.

Colonics

Along with the skin, the digestive system is the body’s other big eliminator of toxins. With the gentle washing of the colon with water during colonic sessions your body will be supported to wash out any toxins that’s made it to the large intestine and it will also help the colon to eliminate properly. Colon hydrotherapy will stimulate the peristaltic movements, reshape and restore the integrity of the colon and improve its efficiency. Implantation of friendly probiotic bacteria following a colonic session will help to crowd out bad bacteria and fungi. Combined with a fiber rich diet your microbiome can shift and this will improve your mood, immunity and bowel movements.

The packages includes three colonics with a probiotic implant.

CUTTING EDGE INTRAVENOUS INFUSIONS (ADD-ON)

Participants can choose to add on IVs to enhance the program. We recommend three cutting edge intravenous injections designed to boost cell energy, support the liver and remove toxins. There three are Myer’s Cocktail, Liver Detox IV, and Glutathione. To maximize your results we recommend adding on one or two more Detox IVs.

Myer’s Cocktail

The nutrients in the Myer’s Cocktail will increase blood concentration levels of several essential vitamins and nutrients beyond which can be achieved orally. In the case of vitamin C blood concentrations can increase as much as 50 times when given intravenously. With the temporary increase of nutrients in the serum nutrients are maneuvered into the cells, and frequently into the mitochondria where they are active. This temporary boost jump-start the cells, so that energy is produced more efficiently in them.

Detox IV

The detox drip is to support your liver – the primary detoxification organ. When you embark on this detox program, your body will get a chance to enter into metabolic detoxification and attempt to modify toxic substances it releases so that they can be safely excreted from the body. In order to do that the liver needs to have the right nutrients otherwise it will simply restore the toxins. This IV ensures your liver functions optimally, get supported to detox with elimination by providing it with the right nutrients. We recommend you add on one or two extra Detox IVs if you can.

Glutathione

Glutathione is a major antioxidant of the body. It is found essentially in the liver where its function is to remove toxins like drugs, carcinogens and heavy metals. The administration of IV glutathione is to support the detoxification process in the body and improve the efficiency of detox.
