Healing Detox Retreat at Fivelements, Ubud (Bali)
A Message From Fivelements: ”On our Healing Detox Retreat, we embrace holistic Balinese-inspired therapies administered by traditional Balinese healers using ancient wisdoms passed down through direct lineage.
Following the Balinese principal of Sekala-Niskala, which holds that we all live equally in two worlds; the seen or conscious world Sekala, and the unseen or psychic world Niskala, the Balinese healers engage the help of the divine source during each healing session.
A healing journey for detoxification and transformation. We recognise that optimal wellness comes from learning to love and respect the body, mind, and spirit, where health and well-being are a reflection of inner harmony.
This is our signature cleansing programme inspired by the ancient Balinese philosophy that promotes living with purity of thought, speech, and action. It encourages us to align our heartfelt goodwill and thinking with consistent speech and action.
The retreat includes traditional Balinese healing therapies aimed to detoxify and purify the physical body, sekala, and the non-physical mind and soul, niskala, unifying body and mind towards a natural harmonious state of being, and allowing an organic healing process to unfold.
With your needs in mind, we collaborate with you to nurture a new healing path, combining: Balinese Healing Rituals for purification, balance and regeneration. Living Foods for detoxification, nutrition and vitality and Sacred Arts for inner strength, integrity and dedication.”
The epicurean plant based food is divine, nourishing and nutritious (using only the finest organic ingredients), and a work of art – imagine a menu where everything on it is not only healthy and holistic but also tastes delicious and leaves you with no guilt…even after eating the most incredible deserts!
The motto here is ”Let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine thy food” and they show you that you don’t have to sacrifice the beauty and pleasure of food in order to enjoy healthy eating.
Each dish is elegantly presented and full of wonderful flavours, colours and texture. A must try is the chef’s specialty tasting lunches and dinners (available in 3, 5 and 7-course menus). Please note that there is no alcohol served – so there is no temptation for you when you are on a detox. Read our personal review.
