Safety, Care & Informed Consent

This fasting retreat is offered as a ceremonial and experiential practice, rooted in ancestral traditions and connection with nature. It is not a medical or therapeutic program, and it does not replace professional medical care.

Participation in the retreat is voluntary and self-directed. Each person is responsible for listening to their own body, needs, and limits throughout the process.

Important considerations

  • This retreat does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment

  • Fasting is offered as a traditional practice for reflection, awareness, and a gentle detox from modern life, not as a health intervention

  • Participants are encouraged to consult a healthcare professional if they have any medical conditions or concerns before joining

Personal responsibility & choice

  • You may choose to modify, pause, or end your fast at any time

  • Breaking the fast is respected and supported — there is no pressure to continue

  • Participation in ceremonies and activities is always optional

Support during the retreat

  • The retreat is held within a calm, structured, and attentive container

  • Facilitators offer presence, guidance, and daily check-ins

  • The group and fire-tending community help hold a supportive and grounded environment

This fasting retreat may not be suitable for people who:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Have a history of eating disorders

  • Have medical conditions that require regular food intake or medication

  • Feel unsure or unsafe about fasting at this time

If you are uncertain, we invite you to contact us before booking to discuss whether fasting or attending as a supporter is the right option for you.
