Our annual cleansing retreat is always a special occasion to discover what our body wisdom truly desires. And to feel how deeply this physical healing and cleansing resonate in our heart and mind.

In this retreat, we work with the principles of semi-fasting, as we have experienced them with Kunikiyo-sensei. We eat accordingly, with the first days being salt-free, allowing our bodies to expel toxins. At the same time, you practice eating what your body indicates it needs. To experiment and feel the effects of nutrition, in the morning, we have our ‘beverage buffet’: various soups and juices, savory and sweet, supporting your body in the cleansing process.

The other meals are flavorful, with pure tastes, and easily digestible. This cleansing is integrated into a varied Dojo program, including exercises for the organs, Hara strengthening, study of relationship areas in the body, meditation, nature walks, etc.

The overall program helps you recover and rejuvenate, returning home with a healthy dose of self-wisdom.

The training is mainly conducted in Dutch, but the staff can provide some lessons in English and translate as needed.
