If you would like to learn classes during your water fast experience, you can sign up and register for any workshop. The breathing techniques will help you release even more toxins. We encourage you to walk daily, sit out in the sun to absorb the energy, participate in mantra class (twice daily), read and write. You are welcome to bring your tablet or laptop if it helps you, though we do not provide any wifi access. Since we are an ashram we do not have TVs, so make sure you bring things to help you stay active while you are here, such as audio books, books, crafts, puzzles, sudoku books, sketchbook, etc.

We will provide you with the information you need in order to break your fast; however, it is preferred you break your fast under right guidance as that is a critical part of the fast. If the fast is broken improperly, it can hurt the body.

Only in a few cases did we have to recommend a person to break their fast early because of signs and symptoms their body was showing. Everyone has broken their fast safely while under our guidance.

As experienced water and dry fasters, we are familiar with the symptoms that show it is time to break fast. Some of them include not being able to digest water, your pulse rate, not losing any more weight, too much acidity coming up, etc. Not all symptoms apply to all individuals. We look at the individual and see their body type, so reasons will vary. Although most people meet their fasting goals, you will need to break fast when we say you need to, even if your goal has not been met, if we see the fast is becoming unsafe

It is normal for you to feel lethargic, sleepy and have headaches. The hardest part is usually the first 3 days. The experience also depends on the person. Every fast is different, so even if you are experienced, the first three days, as well as the entire fast, can be completely different from your prior water fasting experiences. Your energy will fluctuate, but you will have plenty of time to rest throughout your fast.

Sometimes a person’s water fasting can remove or reduce their pain and effects of illness. Since water fasting is like a fire, it burns toxins that cause or continue to sustain a pain or illness. There is no promise or guarantee that it will happen for you, but it has happened for many others before. A fast, no matter what, will give you a break and will help eliminate toxins and impurities that are damaging your body.

We are a spiritual retreat and not a medical facility. To provide the right environment for water fasting we do not accept the following individuals:

• Individuals with heart problems, mental illness, PTSD, taking medications, or excessive mental negativity. Fasting can occasionally trigger negative symptoms and we do not accept anyone under these conditions.
• Individuals with any other health condition that requires medical attention.
• Individuals with any condition/infection that releases pus, ooze, skin, or anything else that might compromise the
  health of other guests as well as the cleanliness of our center.
• Individuals with no interest to grow spiritually or to be engaged in the activities.
• Individuals working or conducting business of any sort while at the retreat.
• Individuals fasting JUST to lose weight.

We do not recommend anyone who is taking medications to do water fast.
