water fasting Retreat
Water fasting is the most healing physical strategy known to mankind. It has been used for millennia by many ancient cultures and great sages, revered for it’s ability to reset the immune system, balance hormones, burn away fat and detoxify the body. A Wind Spirit fasting retreat involves not only a physical fast but also lifestyle and dietary education along with emotional clearing therapy and powerful spiritual practices that will give you a completely new perspective and the motivation to live your life as the healthy, vibrant being that you are meant to be.
Physical Health
* Reset your immune system, lower cancer risk & feel amazing. There is now good research that shows when you water fast, even for 3 days, your entire immune system is reset. All of your organs, and in fact, all of your body has the ability to reset itself and to regenerate and it’s optimised through the process of fasting.
When fasting for 4 days or more this happens:
- Balance insulin sensitivity. Insulin resistence leads to Type 2 diabetes and a malfunctioning metabolism impacts every major mechanism of accelerated aging.
- A metabolic shift into deep ketosis is achieved. Ketosis literally means fat burning, where the body uses its fat stores to create energy to fuel the body.
- Significant increase in Human Growth Hormone. HGH is important for regulating muscle development, bone growth, immune activity and metabolism.
- High levels of cellular autophagy occurs. Autophagy is when the body breaks down old damaged cells, clearing out pathogens and compromised DNA.
- Stem cell production goes up dramatically. Stem cells support the healing process of many major health conditions by replacing the damaged cells removed through autophagy.

Emotional Health
Why is emotional clearing therapy (Journey Process work) such an integral part of a Fasting Retreat at Wind Spirit?
Emotional issues often drive unhealthy lifestyle behaviours. Whether those issues arise from trauma or abuse, whether we suffer anxiety, feel unworthy, unloveable, rejected or abandoned it is vital to bring our issues into the light of day and resolve them.
Often we are not aware of these issues as they reside in our subconcious, driving the hidden programming that holds us back from being the best version of ourselves and preventing us from fulfilling our true potential.
One way to gauge your need for emotional healing is to notice how often you are triggered in your daily life, how often you feel anger, resentment or blame others/external circumstances for feeling negative emotions. If we don’t clear these negative. emotions they can manifest as disease.
In truth nobody else can make you feel a negative emotion, you only feel that negative emotion because of your interpretation of what’s going on out there.
Both David and Sharon are senior Journey practitioners with decades of experience between them and will deeply support you to clear emotional pain and limiting beliefs and open into the freedom as your true self.
Emotional healing opens the heart
Spiritual Health
Finding meaning in your life, knowing who you are and why you are here greatly contribute to a sense of well being and contentment. When you connect with the flow of life, decisions come easily, abundance flows, anxiety fades and problems are solved.
Wind Spirit is located in an energetic hot spot; the energy inside the caldera is palpable with several major ley lines converging on the mountains around us. This energy amplifies our connection to Spirit and with meaningful rituals and guided meditations woven into each day it is easy to feel at one with Mother Earth and connect to the Source of all that is.
