Catering

During the retreat, you will receive Buchinger fasting meals that support your body and gently relieve it at the same time. Instead of full board, you will be given light, nutrient-rich liquids that induce a natural cleansing and regeneration process in the body. These include: - Freshly squeezed vegetable juices for energy and nutrients - Warm vegetable broths in the evening for gentle strengthening
- Herbal teas and plenty of water throughout the day - Individual support and tips on 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 basis for inner peace, clarity, and conscious body awareness without interrupting the fasting process.
