10.09. – 17.09.2011

We will experience a special health and fasting week together in the serene and secluded atmosphere of Hotel Monte Sella, beautifully situated in the heart of South Tyrol.

Fasting cleanses the body, mind, and soul.

Fasting has been practised in all cultures throughout the world for thousands of years. Fasting has nothing to do with hunger, dieting, losing weight, or enduring ascetic practices. It is a process of conscious awareness, release from ingrained habits, and taking time for contemplation and reflection. Particularly in our age, when many people feel trapped in the stress of everyday routine and excess of activity, and are harried by illness, allergies, high blood pressure, and other ailments, it is important to once again find time to be aware of yourself and the path you select through life.

When fasting, the Bountiful can be felt in the Minimal.

In the uninhibited space that is created, new energies spring forth which help us to be more aware and reflective with others and ourselves. At the bodily level, tension is resolved, toxins removed, the bowel cleansed, and our "inner physician" awoken. In addition, the immune system is reinforced, the skin becomes more radiant, tissues are purified, and the mind becomes clearer. On the spiritual level, fasting effects the same digestion and processing as in the bodily plane. The result is a new bodily sensation that leads to a deep spiritual well-being and inner peace.

We have put together a unique fasting programme for your health and wellness, to restore and recharge energy. Experienced fasting directors, holistic treatments, and the surrounding nature all make this week an unforgettable experience. Under the caring direction of Sandra Memmo, participants are guided and supported every day throughout the week. Qi Gong and Yoga exercises every morning, daily holistic applications such as full-body salt massage, brine packing, natural cosmetics, aloe-honey massage, Body Talk, cranio-sacral, daily freshly prepared liver health packing, enema, communal discussions, meditation, presentations, hikes, and rejuvenating sauna sessions create a comprehensive fulfiling programme.

Our week begins with a releasing day and the purging - five days of fasting during which participants ingest only teas, freshly-pressed juices, freshly prepared vegetable broths and spring water. We close the week with a communal celebration of the breaking of the fast, and experience the first restoration day.
