Preparing for a detox retreat involves more than packing light. Here’s how to get your body and mind ready for the reset.


Detox retreats can be physically and emotionally intense, especially if it involves fasting or elimination protocols.
Preparation tips:

1. Gradually cut caffeine, sugar, and alcohol 7–10 days prior
2. Eat lighter meals—focus on soups, fruits, and veggies
3. Hydrate well (2–3L water daily)
4. Reduce screen time to start digital detox early What to pack:

• Comfortable clothing and layers
• A journal and pen
• Personal supplements or meds
• Travel snacks for after retreat
• Open-mindedness Set an intention, be open to release, and let go of perfection. The goal isn't to “perform well”—it's to surrender and heal.
