What they say about conscious fasting

Ciro
Interesting, the place is ideal for this kind of retreat. I thank all the staff, not only those involved in fasting, but also those who work more behind the scenes. There are no words to describe something that cannot be described. I just write: Try it

I did the conscious fasting retreat with you and I can only express all my praise for the welcome, the availability, and the skills of the entire staff! It was a truly full week, from an emotional and energetic point of view. And the place is like a fairy tale! An oasis of pure energy in the hills. Thank you for everything you have done.

For me this is already the second time and I suspect it will become an annual habit. Competence and professional support are the ingredients of this choice. Besides the fact that it takes place at the Autosufficienza farm, a 10/10 location.

Barbara

I started with low expectations, especially about the possibility of completing my “experiment.” Instead, the strength of the group, the energy of the place, and the competence and friendliness of the coordinators allowed me to achieve my goal. Thank you, I will definitely return to experience more.
Alessandro
Alessandro
I felt “very” good. Excellent atmosphere, very interesting insights, very friendly, helpful, and above all extremely professional staff. A very motivated group, always ready to collaborate. An experience certainly to be repeated, as well as continued, at least in its main guidelines, also at home. Thank you for everything!

FAQ

about conscious fasting

Fasting is a health practice that predates humans and that plants and animals have practiced regularly for millions of years.
We have evolved as a species to benefit from fasting; there are no people inherently unsuitable for the practice.

If supplements are used, fasting is still possible, although their use is generally discouraged during the practice.
If medications are used, fasting is still possible; the administration of medication has much stronger effects while fasting, and for this reason the dosage is often adjusted in agreement with the treating physician or those responsible for the therapeutic plan.

The fasting retreat is an intense experience that requires an adequate psychophysical condition.
For safety reasons, participation is NOT permitted for individuals who currently have, or have had in the recent past, one or more of the conditions listed below.

Eating disorders

  • Anorexia nervosa (active or in remission within the past 5 years)
  • Bulimia nervosa (active or in remission within the past 5 years)
  • Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
  • Other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED / EDNOS)

Nutritional status

  • Body Mass Index (BMI) below 16.5 → participation prohibited
  • BMI below 18.5 → participation strongly discouraged
  • Clinically diagnosed sarcopenia
  • Diagnosed malnutrition

 

(BMI is calculated by dividing weight (in kg) by height (in meters) squared.)

Mental health disorders (if not adequately managed)

  • Bipolar disorder
  • Dissociative disorders
  • Severe major depression
  • Obsessive–compulsive disorder

Metabolic or organ diseases

  • Kidney failure
  • Liver cirrhosis
  • Unstable or uncompensated heart disease

Each participant assumes full responsibility for any adverse effects if, at the time of registration, they are unaware of any medical or psychological conditions not yet diagnosed.

Certainly!
By carefully following the fasting preparation guidelines, it is possible to participate without limitations or unwanted effects.

Dietary preparation for fasting is highly recommended; for this reason, a reference protocol is sent to all participants several weeks before the retreat.
It is possible to fast even without proper dietary preparation, but mild yet unpleasant side effects may occur.

During the retreat it is possible to drink water, herbal teas, and decoctions selected to support the practice.

At the end of the fasting period, a cautious refeeding phase of equal duration is recommended. Further information will be provided in the weeks prior to the retreat.

Weight, blood pressure, skeletal muscle mass, BMI – body mass index, body fat percentage (PBF).

Measurements are not mandatory and are intended to help participants better understand the effects of the practice.

The entire training program provides tools for complete self-monitoring of health.
During the course, health professionals will also be present to coordinate monitoring and explain the body’s responses during fasting.

The program includes ample free time, which can be used for sharing and connecting with other participants, moments of introspection, or time for personal activities. We always recommend avoiding commitments and planning, at least for one week, in order to remain in a state of authentic listening, which is facilitated by the fasting practice.

The maximum number of participants allowed in the retreat is 35
