What kind of results can you anticipate from fasting? The benefits of fasting can manifest in various ways. The body cleanses and detoxifies from within. Your body´s self-healing power is activated and your immune system is strengthened. However, fasting does not only lead to changes in your physical appearance. You can also mentally and emotionally let go of habits and beliefs that may not be serving you anymore. Your mind can calm down, your senses can sharpen and your awareness can expand. Curious to learn more and what happens in the body when we fast?
Giving the digestive system a break from solid foods stops the peristaltic of the colon and gives the body tremendous time and energy to heal itself and sharpen all digestive functions.
Instead of continuously digesting and eliminating food, the body has now time to eliminate toxins on a cellular level leading to less inflammation, increased flexibility and clearer skin.
By consuming overall less calories, the body retrieves energy from burning fats instead. This may lead to quick weight loss and also to more defined muscles especially in athletes and slim people.
Often we suppress uncomfortable things by eating or snacking. Instead of using the energy for digestion, the energy can now go to cognitive function, leading to more mental clarity.
The heightened physical sensibility and mental clarity increases self-awareness and feeling more connected to your own body, mind and soul, which can lead to transformative lifestyle changes.

The program includes a morning meditation or breathing exercises and sharing circles. There will be a detox workshop covering measures that support the fasting process, such as liver compresses and lymphatic (drainage) massages. In addition, short lectures and seminars are held to clarify questions from the fasting and nutrition field.

The guided forest walks are accompanied by mindfulness exercises and we also practice hiking in silence, which allows us to enjoy the beauty of nature and at the same time find our own inner peace. In the evenings there will be campfires and a new moon ceremony under the starlit sky accompanied by journaling exercises offering an opportunity for inner reflection. Of course, there is also enough free time to relax in the sun and socialize with others.

The oasis is located in the small community of Schönwalde-Glien directly at the Spandau Forest. In the middle of nature, the 1100m2 garden with the 10-person tipi tent radiates coziness and invites community. On the property, there is a small house with a kitchen, shower, and toilet. The water has a very high iron content, so it is not suitable for drinking. However, fresh spring water is delivered specifically for us. There is a maximum of 10 spots to keep an intimate setting. Accommodation will take place in the shared communal tipi tent for eight/ten people. Two people can book the double bed in the bedroom of the house for an additional charge.
