Schedule
At True Nature Healing Center, water-only fasting is our primary therapeutic program and is conducted under medical supervision. However, fasting is certainly not the only aspect of the experience. Guests are welcome to take walks, enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Santa Fe, and participate in. supportive therapies during their stay. We also have acupuncture available onsite through our licensed acupuncturist, Dr Victoria Schefer, which many guests find very beneficial during both fasting and refeeding. That said, water fasting is intended to be a time of rest, healing and allowing the body to direct its energy toward recovery. Rather than a retreated filled with scheduled activities and classes through the day, our program emphasizes slowing down, minimizing physical and mental stress, and creating an environment that supports deep healing. We work with each guest individually and are happy to discuss whether our program would be a good fit for your goals, health history, and desired experience. Please feel free to let us know if you have any additional questions. We would be delighted to help.
