WATER FASTING

cleansing your body cleanses your mind and soul.

Imagine if you could get away and be in a beautiful, spiritual, and peaceful environment to experience the wonderful intensity of a cleanse. Even just a few days or a few weeks to detoxify yourself and clear your body and mind can make a huge difference. This is your chance.

WHAT IS WATER FASTING?

Water fasting is a practice that helps you achieve a health and/or spiritual benefit, where you drink only water for a certain period of time. There are different reasons to do a water fast. Many do it for spiritual growth, to test their willpower, to break addictions, to detox and cleanse their body, and lose weight. Spiritually speaking, water fasting is considered one of the best ways to burn karma (toxins). Water fasting creates a fire in the body and helps release negativities and toxins that often affect our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health. People have traveled from all over the world to come to our spiritual retreat center to do a water fasting retreat because of the spiritual environment and peace, as well as to eliminate distractions. 

About the WATER FASTING Retreat

Finally, a peaceful and spiritual fasting experience.


Be in a bubble of spirituality, peace, and quiet to achieve your water-fasting goals. While at home it is easy to be tempted to eat food and fall into your eating habits, especially if you have to cook and feed your family, and the mind will try to make excuses and convince you to go back to eating. During your retreat at Siddhayatan, you will be away from temptations and surrounded by a spiritual environment conducive to helping you achieve your goal. Be among monks and nuns whose wisdom and experience fasting will guide you and help you have a safe experience. Receive proper guidance, environment, and encouragement all while you stay in simple and clean rooms where you can relax, cozy up with a book, write endlessly in that journal you’ve been waiting to fill up, view amazing sunsets and sunrises across Siddhayatan’s rolling hills, fill your lungs with pollution-free air, add a course or yoga class (see schedule), and get to participate in healing chants in the evenings. Sip on water throughout your day knowing you are detoxing and healing yourself. What a perfect way to relax during an intense experience!
