À propos de cet événement
It takes 3 days until the last thing you consumed leaves your body. Without a longer fast, your organs do not ever get the chance to fully rest.
---
A Manuvision fast combines 20 days of cleansing diet with a 3 day fasting retreat, including extensive body work, training and massage.
The fast will be led by Steffen Lundgaard, who has been facilitating fast retreats for over 15 years.

This fast aims to let every organ rest, with each day’s activities focusing on caring for the organs that reach rest on that particular day.
Physically, the fast helps to:
* Improve circulation
* Sharpen the senses
* Detoxify organs, flush out years of built-up waste
* Reset and regulate metabolism
* Unlock the body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate
Emotionally, the fast is an invitation to feel yourself:
* Without habitual escape patterns (tobacco, coffee, snacking, …)
* With less expendable energy, becoming aware of how much your ‘mask’ (ie personality of being funny, helpful to others, smart and calm, etc) starts to cost, and what it means to take this off
* Surrendering to being in the group simply as yourself (whether grumpy, tired, sad or angry)
Mentally, the fast is an opportunity to:
* Learn about the functioning of your organs, related muscle groups and meridian systems
* Understand and reflect on your habit patterns
* Experience a deep sense of self-awareness and freedom, with renewed energy.
Removing old blockages and imbalances can help recover from various issues including, for example:
* Sleep and digestive disorders
* Long-standing infections
* Anxiety, indecision and depression
* Skin conditions
* Improved vision and reduced eye strain
* Reduced intensity of autoimmune diseases
What it can do really depends on what is blocked in your system.
