Location

 

Set on the edge of the stunning Black Mountains; Dukes Farm is an ancient dwelling with its own spring and glorious aspect. 

Come away and seek refuge from the world. An opportunity to take some space and time to gain new perspectives and a whole new toolkit that will serve you for all time. 

 

Aim

Fasting and wellness retreats aiming to communicate the science behind fasting, create a peaceful environment to explore fasting and empower people to take control of their own health.

Interested in fasting but perhaps don’t know where to start? Feel nervous about how you will feel, want to make sure you're are doing it properly and safely? 

Like the idea of trying fasting within a spiritually nutritious environment; with support, nature and community around you? Come and take respite from your busy lives in the beautiful Black Mountains where you can enjoy high-quality accommodation and wellness activities.

From experience fasting is typically a lot easier than people expect. That being said it can be a very overwhelming idea to embark on a fast alone especially if its the first time you are attempting a fast of that length. There is so much information out there and not all of it good quality. Even if you have fasted before, doing so surrounded by knowledge, experience and community where you have access to a wide variety of healing and wellness activities can elevate your fasting experience to a new level.

A retreat which recognises the importance of science and spirituality together, we take a very holistic and yet pragmatic approach. We aim to illuminate the different fasting methods, discuss what works for individual lifestyles and allow for some communal practice. We also aim to provide a nurturing and healing environment for mind, body and soul.

My primary focus is that all guests leave rejuvenated; with a wealth of self-knowledge and confidence. Empowered to fast safely and happily in a way that reaches their personal goals.
