Hikes
It is important to have a physical activity during the fast. The physical activity stimulates the elimination of toxins thru the breathing and thru transpiration. It also prevents muscle loss.
Being outdoors, hiking and breathing fresh air, strenghens the immune system, it acts on your mood and it stimulates all your senses.
Hiking is an activity that is accessible to all ages. No specific and costly material is necessary, except a good pair of hiking boots. And if you have hiking poles it be a good idea to bring them.
We will be hiking between 10 and 15 km per day at a pace of about 3 to 4 km per hour.
Each hike is different with beautiful view points and/or historical points of interest.
Activities
A session of stretching and auto-massage will be held each morning.
The evenings will end with a session of relaxation or meditation.
If the group wishes, one session "Clay" will be offered by Jeûne Nature and animated by Geraldine Sirlin.
The Fasting Week.
The dietary fasting week is based on the Buchinger formula - water, herbal teas, filtered vegetable broths and diluted fruit and vegetable juices - with physical activities like hiking and stretching.
Each day will end with a relaxation.
