Catering

During the retreat, you will receive Buchinger-style fasting meals that support your body while gently relieving it of stress. Instead of full board, you will be served light, nutrient-rich liquids that help the body enter a natural cleansing and regeneration process.
These include:
- Freshly pressed vegetable juices for energy and nutrients
- Warm vegetable broths in the evening for gentle nourishment
- Herbal teas and plenty of water throughout the day
- Personalized guidance and tips for preparing for and carrying out the fast
The meals are designed to optimally support the fasting period, activate the metabolism, and be easily digestible. They form the foundation for inner peace, clarity, and mindful body awareness without interrupting the fasting process.
