Health Retreat Experience

Your stay at Misty Mountain starts on Sunday with a gourmet vegetarian lunch, prepared from the freshest ingredients and cooked in our kitchen. On this first day you will also have a private consultation with our naturopath, during which the general program is modified according to your personal needs. Sunday afternoon you will enjoy your first steambath, and then attend an introductory lecture outlining the activities for the next few days. That evening you will savour the freshly made vegetable broth and then return to your room to drift off to sleep in your little bush haven.

Monday begins early with a pleasant walk along one of the many trails. After this exercise you will be treated to your first juice of the day, after which various freshly-made juices will be served every two hours. Each juice is accompanied by either a protein or other supplement, which helps in the detox and curbs any hunger pangs. An hour later the first health lecture starts, during which you will learn about various processes of the body and how the body possesses amazing techniques to recover from disease, given the correct opportunities.

According to the amount of treatments you have booked, you will enjoy a massage, facial or hydrotherapy treatment later on. By the afternoon you will be ready for a steambath, broth, and then just some relaxing time in the lounge before going to bed.

The second day of the program is much like the first day, where you will participate in the juice fast, enjoy treatments, lectures, bush walks, exercise classes and then steambath in the afternoon. There is also time between these activities where you can pursue activities - or non-activities - of your own choosing!

Wednesday morning commences with a more vigorous early morning walk, followed by a breakfast of fruit and other delights. This is followed by more interesting lectures, more relaxing and cleansing treatments, and then another mouth-watering gourment lunch. The day ends as always with the steambath and then broth or a tasty smoothie. The rest of the week progresses fairly much the same from Wednesday - days of invigorating exercise, informative lectures, soothing treatments and scrumptious vegetarian meals. The array of these dishes include baked potatoes, fresh salads, healthy but delectable desserts, lasagnes, and other filling and palette-pleasing repasts.

Sunday morning you will enjoy a hearty and delicious breakfast with all the staff of Misty Mountain, before packing and saying goodbyes. Departure is usually between 9 and 10am, depending on whether you have chosen the helicopter transfer or the drive.

Most people find themselves experiencing ambivalent emotions - they look forward to getting home and sharing their new knowledge and energy, but at the same time are sad to be leaving such a relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Each guest leaves with new friendships and memories that often call them back for return stays!
