Juice Detox retreat

Moinhos Velhos - Yoga, Meditation, Wellness

Established in 1992 as one of the first juice fasting retreats in Europe, Moinhos Velhos offers a unique combination of juice fasting with Yoga and meditation. The program has been fine tuned over the years to incorporate the latest scientific discoveries, but the basic concept has not changed in all those years. The retreats are designed to facilitate physical, mental, and emotional detoxification and purification, which means that the program is very effective at whatever level of your wellbeing you want to focus.

To keep you attuned to nature, the juices are prepared in accordance with the season and also to ensure that you will get all the vitamins and minerals needed to replenish and cleanse your nervous system.

In addition, you will cleanse the entire gastrointestinal tract with herbs and supplements and by using a self administered colonic system that cleanses the lower intestine.

Reasons For Participating

  • Detoxing
  • Alleviating stress and anxiety
  • Reappraising and evaluating life purpose
  • Losing weight
  • Quitting smoking and addictions
  • Achieving optimal health maintenance

Benefits of Juice Fasting

  • Increased energy, vitality and sense of wellbeing
  • Boosts immune system
  • Improved cardiovascular health
  • Regulating blood pressure and cholesterol
  • Improved brain health and memory function
  • Regulation of weight, appetite and cravings

The yoga classes are accessible to all - whether you are a beginner or seasoned yogi, the skilled teachers can guide you through an enriching and relaxing practice that supports your detox. 

Yoga is a fundamental part of our programme because the combination of gentle moving, stretching, and twisting together with deep breathing, significantly helps the detox process for body, mind and spirit. The lymph and blood transporting the released toxins are pumped through the body at a faster rate, speeding up the elimination process. 

The evening workshops can include a Soundbath session and a Agni Hotra fire ceremony alongside more traditional meditation practices. The programme culminates with a beautiful Spiral Walk letting go and visioning ceremony. These sessions further assist the detoxification process, as blockages and tensions held in the physical, mental, and emotional levels of the body are also released.
