California Fasting Retreat

A California fasting retreat is a residential wellness experience that allows you to step away from your normal routine and follow a guided fasting program in a dedicated setting. At We Care Spa, the program is not a water-only fast. Instead, you receive a scheduled selection of juices, soups, herbal teas and shakes throughout the day.

Your stay also includes colon hydrotherapy according to your selected package, access to yoga and wellness classes, luxury accommodations and resort amenities. The experience creates space for rest, reflection and greater awareness while allowing you to decide how much activity or solitude feels appropriate each day.

Each package includes luxury accommodations, hourly liquid nutrition, a scheduled number of colon hydrotherapy sessions, daily yoga, wellness education and access to resort amenities. Inclusions vary according to whether you select the three-, six- or eight-day retreat.

Your package may also provide access to pools, jacuzzis, the fitness center, steam room, sauna, yoga spaces and reflective areas throughout the grounds. Review the current package description before booking so you understand the exact number of treatments, nights and program days included with your preferred stay.

Massages, facials, body therapies and most private holistic services are optional enhancements. They are not included in the standard price of the base retreat package unless a specific promotion clearly states otherwise.
You may reserve these services separately to complement your retreat goals or create additional time for relaxation.

Because appointment availability can vary, booking preferred treatments before arrival is recommended. You are also free to enjoy the core program without adding spa services, leaving more time for classes, amenities, solitude or rest.

You do not need previous fasting experience to participate. The shorter three-day option can provide an approachable introduction, while the longer stays allow more time to become familiar with the program’s daily rhythm.

Fasting is not suitable for every person or health circumstance. Before booking, speak with your healthcare provider about any medical conditions, medications, dietary concerns, pregnancy or other factors that may affect your ability to participate safely. You should also provide relevant information to We Care Spa and review its current health and eligibility requirements.

We Care Spa offers three principal retreat lengths: three days and two nights, six days and five nights, and eight days and seven nights.

The shorter stay introduces you to the essential program elements. The six-day option gives you more time to settle into the experience and participate in a broader range of activities. The eight-day retreat is the most immersive choice. Your ideal length will depend on your schedule, previous experience, personal intentions and guidance from your healthcare provider.

The We Care Spa program provides liquid nutrition throughout the day. Offerings include prepared juices, soups, teas and shakes arranged according to the retreat schedule.

This means your stay is different from an unsupervised water fast or a program in which you provide your own food. Preparation and post-retreat transition are also important parts of the experience. Follow the current instructions provided by We Care Spa before arrival and when gradually returning to solid foods after your retreat.

Your day may include scheduled liquid nutrition, a colon hydrotherapy appointment, yoga, wellness education and time to enjoy the property. You might begin with gentle movement, attend a class, relax beside the pool, use the sauna or spend time reflecting in your suite.

There is no requirement to fill every hour. Some guests prefer an active itinerary, while others value sleep, silence and unstructured time. Optional spa treatments and private services may also be added for an additional cost. Exact schedules, classes and appointment times may change during your stay.

Gentle movement is available through activities such as yoga and use of the fitness amenities. The purpose is to support mindful activity rather than intense physical training.

Your energy may feel different while following a liquid nutrition program, so it is important to move according to how you feel and avoid pushing beyond your limits. Speak with the retreat team about suitable options during your stay. Guests with injuries, chronic conditions or specific fitness concerns should consult a qualified healthcare professional before participating.

No specific amount of weight loss can be promised. Individual experiences vary according to factors such as body composition, metabolism, retreat length, activity level and what happens after the program.

Some guests may notice temporary weight changes, but the retreat is positioned as a broader opportunity to rest, reflect and reconsider personal habits. Long-term weight management requires sustainable nutrition, movement and appropriate medical guidance. A retreat should not be treated as a replacement for individualized healthcare or an ongoing weight-management plan.

Follow the official pre-arrival instructions provided by We Care Spa rather than beginning an extreme fast independently. Preparation may involve gradually simplifying your diet, reducing certain foods or beverages and giving your body time to adjust before check-in.

Pack comfortable clothing, swimwear, walking shoes, yoga attire and personal essentials. You may also wish to bring a journal for reflection. Confirm your transportation arrangements, package inclusions and optional treatment reservations before traveling. Medical questions should be discussed with your healthcare provider and the retreat team in advance.
