Karen P’s detox retreat testimonial from Sept 2025 at Sura Detox (

I can genuinely say that with 5 days of no food, I did not feel hungry at all. I chose to do only water.
It wasn’t always easy - I felt sleepy sometimes, lack of energy and under the weather, but also here is a program of events, tai chi, yoga, beach walks, talks, craft afternoons, and it made the week fly by.

And there there were 20 other people, of all ages and backgrounds, all sharing a common goal.
I came to find out what depriving myself of food might release in me. Others reasons were different - symptoms, health condition, blood pressure, weight loss.
The therapists wonderful, so many therapies to cherry-pick…

The daily talks with Dao have been enlightening about how the digestive system works, and therefore the best way to treat it.
And Daniel’s Stress and Anxiety workshops have taught me so much about myself.

It cleanses your body but also opens your soul.
I feel much more connected to the world, to myself, and how to proceed in it.

It wouldn’t say it has been totally enjoyable, but we have been deeply supported, and lifted each other.
We have all come through it, and felt an amazing change in ourselves.
It has been a really invigorating and delightful week.
