Transformation is a natural process that flows without forcing; as powerful as a hurricane, as gentle as the wings of a butterfly unfolding, and as miraculous as a new life being born.
About our Transformation Detox Retreats
In 2009 we developed our long running holistic Mind / Body detox programme to include two Transformation Detox Retreats. These retreats have a bit more emphasis on self understanding and working through emotional issues and patterns of behaviour, and less emphasis on nutritional education. For this reason, we recommend to first time detoxers to chose one of our our Mind / Body Detox retreats as their first experience because understanding the healing power of a healthy diet is so important for staying healthy beyond the retreat week.
In the Transformation retreats, the juice fasting programme is an equally supported process as on all of our retreats with organic fresh juices, supplements, colon cleansing, yoga and complementary therapies; but the main ‘focus’ of the retreat and discussions encourages and supports supreme personal growth. Instead of our daily talks on nutrition and health related topics, during the transformation detox retreats we will be running a series of psychodrama workshops every day with Sandra Grieve.
As always we’ll have YOGA every morning to enhance the detox process on all levels, but especially in the practice of being present while in movement. And last thing in the evening we offer guided meditation.
In place of the individual nutrition consultations which we offer on all of our other retreats, instead you will be able to have an individual session with Sandra (included in the price of the retreat). Any nutritional questions will still be answered throughout the week by the nutritional therapist who will be supporting and guiding you through your detox.

The Workshops with Sandra Grieve
Sandra will be offering a series of psychodrama workshops in which we will explore our ways of being in the world, with one another and with ourselves. The workshops are physical and emotional rather than mental. One of the things that psychodrama is good at is helping people engage with body and soul rather than their rational being and helping you look inside to find what inner resources you can draw on.
“We each have our own ways of being in the world; patterns of behaviour, patterns of relationships, patterns of beliefs. So, how did these patterns emerge? Are they useful? Do some of them hold us back?”
We will work creatively together and celebrate whatever may emerge. The process is active, energising, healing and often fun!
