Brock Cottage is a 7-bedroom country home located at the end of a private country track, just outside the peaceful hamlet of Foscot in the Cotswolds, a beautiful area of rolling hills, honey-coloured stone villages, and charming market towns.  The house is surrounded by an acre of softly landscaped, natural gardens and mature trees.  It also has an expansive front lawn dotted with impressive sculptures.  The bedrooms are very comfortable and some are ensuite.  There are 2 loft areas for sleeping that are sold at a discount, so if you don’t mind going up and down a ladder to get to your cozy sleeping space let us know!  The kitchen and dining area is a vast sunny open-plan space with several skylights allowing for loads of light even on the cloudiest of days.  Additionally, the Foxholes Nature Reserve is located a few short steps from the front gate of the cottage giving you access to many beautiful forest trails, with fields of beautiful bluebells in full bloom in the springtime.

More about the Retreat

Many people subject their bodies to harmful lifestyles and diets that inhibit the body's ability to cleanse and heal. Eating a poor diet of processed foods clogs up the digestive system with waste materials and prevents our bodies from absorbing vital nutrients, which can lead to health problems over time. Fasting allows an incredibly effective cleansing process to take place in the body that reaches down to each and every cell and tissue. All your organs receive a well-deserved rest and a much-needed clear out. After 24 hours of not eating, the energy used for digestion is redirected towards clearing out waste matter, dead and damaged cells, gas, microbes, parasites and other toxins from your system. Without the chemical interference of stimulants like caffeine, nicotine, sugar and alcohol, your body is able to find a better natural balance.

A professional nutritional adviser will support you throughout the fasting process and optional one-to-one nutritional consultations will also be available for anyone wanting to go into more depth regarding their personal health story. During the fast you will consume organic fruit and vegetable juices, barley grass, vegetable broth and mineral supplements to provide you with the nutrients you need to nurture your body, as well as detoxifying herbs that will aid in the cleansing process. Psyllium husks will provide cleansing bulk and help stave off physical hunger. Self-administered organic enemas are done once daily to help the body to eliminate toxins. Twice daily yoga classes are complemented by fun and informative classes on nutrition and healthy eating, sustainable living, meditation and happiness. (Fasting is not safe for people who are very underweight, clinically obese, pregnant, diabetic, suffering from kidney disease or certain cancers.)  Please contact us if you have any concerns about your health that you would like to discuss further before arrival.
