The Spring Detox &
Renewal Retreat
A five-day, carefully sequenced reset for digestion, detoxification, and nervous-system regulation
- 18–22 March 2026 (optional extension to 24 March)
- Málaga, Southern Spain
An Invitation
This is a detox designed to leave you clearer, steadier, and more resourced — not depleted or disconnected.
Spring is nature’s season of renewal — a time when the earth shakes off winter’s dormancy and begins to grow again. Yet for many of us, this natural rhythm has been lost beneath the pace and noise of daily life.
This retreat is an invitation to realign with that same energy — to gently release what no longer serves you, nourish your digestion and nervous system, and create the conditions for deep, lasting renewal.
This is not about deprivation or perfection.
It’s about intentional simplicity and reconnection to:
- Your body’s innate wisdom
- Food as medicine
- Rest as a radical act
- The practices that help the body feel safe enough to let go
Over five intentional days in the warmth of southern Spain, you’ll be held in a small, intimate group and guided through a thoughtfully sequenced programme that honours both ancient cleansing traditions and modern nervous-system science — with an optional two-day integration extension for those who wish to stay longer.
Designed to support the body’s natural detox pathways — without shock, force, or overwhelm — this retreat offers a calm, intelligent approach to renewal.
Many people come to this retreat not because something is “wrong”, but because their system has been carrying more than it can easily process — stress, stimulation, digestive strain, emotional load, and the pace of daily life.
This retreat offers a pause from that accumulation, creating the conditions for the body and nervous system to clear, recalibrate, and regain their natural rhythm.
It’s for those who are ready to tend to themselves not from a place of fixing or striving, but from one of compassionate listening and care.
Many people arrive feeling wired but tired, carrying more than they realise.
This retreat is designed to help you leave feeling steadier, clearer, and back in rhythm with yourself.
What Detox Really Supports
Detox is often misunderstood as something harsh or restrictive. In reality, the body is constantly detoxifying — through digestion, the liver, lymphatic flow, breath, sleep, and the nervous system.
When life is fast, stressful, or overloaded, these systems can become congested or dysregulated. Not because the body is failing, but because it hasn’t had the conditions it needs to complete its natural processes. A well-supported detox creates those conditions.
As physical load reduces and the nervous system settles, people often experience:
- Clearer thinking and reduced mental noise
- Emotional release without overwhelm
- A renewed sense of connection to the body
- Greater clarity around choices, boundareis, and direction
- This isn’t about forcing change. It’s about allowinf the body and mind to recalibrate together
What Makes This Retreat Different
Physiologically Sequenced
The programme follows a gut → liver → lymph → nervous system sequence, supporting elimination pathways before deeper cleansing. By working with the body’s natural order, detox can happen effectively — without shock or overload.
Nervous System First
True detoxification happens when the body feels safe. Rest, grounding, and gentle nervous-system regulation are prioritised before anything intensive, allowing the body to release without force or overwhelm.
Digestive Intelligence
Each meal is designed to reduce digestive load while actively nourishing the gut microbiome. Rather than stripping the body, we respect and support its existing detoxification systems, creating the conditions for repair, balance, and sustained energy.
Integration Focused
Integration is built into the programme to help physical shifts, insights, and nervous-system changes settle. For those who want more space, an optional two-day integration extension is available to deepen rest, rebuilding, and post-retreat rhythm.
An Intimate, Intentionally Held Group
This retreat is designed to feel personal and spacious. Every participant is seen, supported, and guided with care — never managed, rushed, or pushed through a process.
THE TEAM HOLDING THE RETREAT
A small, experienced team holding the retreat with care, clarity, and presence.

The Essence of the Retreat
This retreat is built on four core principles:
-
1. Intelligent Detoxification
Detox is not something we do to the body — itʼs something we allow. By reducing overload and gently supporting the liver, lymph, and gut, the bodyʼs natural intelligence is able to rebalance, release, and restore itself. Every element of the retreat is designed to support the body’s existing detox systems, rather than override them.
-
2. Nervous System Regulation
Detox is not just physical — it’s neurological. True healing happens when the nervous system feels safe. Through breathwork, somatic practices, restorative movement, and deep rest, every element of the retreat supports a shift from stress mode into the body’s natural rest-and-digest state, allowing repair, release, and integration to happen gently.
-
3. Whole-Being Detox
Detox happens on more than one level. We don’t just cleanse the body — we also support emotional release, mental clarity, and energetic balance. Food, movement, breath, water, and stillness work together as one integrated system, allowing deep, sustainable cleansing rather than isolated or superficial change.
-
4. Rhythm and Integration
Healing happens through rhythm, not force. By aligning rest, nourishment, movement, and reflection with natural cycles, the retreat creates the space for detox to settle, integrate, and become part of everyday life — rather than something that fades once you return home.
"The body is brilliant. We're just here to remind it what it already knows."
A Thoughtfully Phased Journey
This retreat unfolds across three intentional phases, allowing the body and nervous system to adapt, release, and integrate at a natural pace. This retreat unfolds across a 5-day core journey, with an optional 2-day integration extension available for those who wish to stay through the 24th.
Arrival & Settling
The retreat begins with intentional down-regulation. Grounding practices, orientation to the space, and simplified whole-food nourishment gently ease digestive load without force. This phase is designed to help your nervous system land and stabilise, creating the safety required for effective detoxification.
Active Reset
The core phase of the programme. Digestive load is intentionally reduced through simplified, plant-forward whole-food meals while lymphatic movement and somatic practices support circulation and elimination. Liver support is introduced only after drainage pathways are open, allowing detoxification to occur safely and effectively — without force, restriction, or overwhelm.
Integration
The final phase is about consolidation and sustainability. Fermented foods, prebiotic-rich nourishment, and thoughtful reintroduction protocols support microbiome resilience, while continued regulation practices allow physical and emotional shifts to integrate. You leave not only lighter, but clearer — with a structured, realistic framework to carry forward at home.
A Gentle Daily Rhytm
The retreat follows a clear daily structure, held in a gentle and intentionally paced way — offering both rhythm and plenty of space to rest, integrate, and listen to the body.
Mornings
Days begin with a grounding practice or gentle movement, followed by nourishing breakfast or detox support. Mornings are unhurried, with space after breakfast to settle, rest, or simply be.
Late Mornings
Late mornings may include a workshop, therapeutic session, or guided practice connected to the detox process and nervous-system regulation.
MIDDAY
After lunch, there is spacious free time to rest, walk, journal, swim, or receive optional one-to-one treatments.
AFTERNOONS
Afternoons are lighter and integrative. On some days, workshops or group sessions are offered in the late afternoon, aligned with the current phase of the retreat.
EVENINGS
Evenings include light nourishment, followed by a calm and restorative practice such as breathwork, meditation, sound healing, or Yoga Nidra. Rest is considered a core part of the programme.
Throughout the retreat, workshops and educational sessions explore foundations of nervous-system regulation and breath, release-based somatic practices held with self-compassion, and guided integration work with the emotional body. Alongside this, practical guidance is shared on digestion, detoxification, microbiome health, food rhythms, and post-retreat aftercare. These are embodied, practical tools designed to be taken home and gently woven into everyday life — always held with care, safety, and integration at the centre.
