Hey Everyone!

It’s hard to believe it’s been over seven years since we last hosted a Raw Food Retreat here in Vilcabamba, Ecuador. As many of you know, everything paused when I became ill. But today, I’m deeply grateful to share that I’m thriving again—and a few months ago, we finally welcomed guests back for our first retreat since then, and it was an absolute success.

You can watch the incredible video from this retreat at the link below:

This retreat was really a “trial run” for me. We originally had about 17 people registered, although a few couples had to cancel at the last minute due to life circumstances. Even so, it turned out to be such a powerful and unforgettable experience.

And now… we’re going Big. Our next Raw Food Retreat, happening June 6th–June 19th, is going to be full-blown out of control. I’m expecting over 25 people to join us this time.

The video above is over an hour long—but if you simply make it to minute 8, you’ll already get a strong sense of just how special this retreat truly is.

What’s exciting is that I actually have over 4 hours of beautifully edited retreat clips. I’ll be sharing 5 new one-minute videos every single day across all my social media channels for the next two months. Thousands of people watch these daily, and this is one of the big reasons I feel confident this next retreat will sell out.

The video I shared above is a highlight reel, combining the very best moments from all those hours of footage.

In this video, you’ll see some of the most incredible gourmet raw meals and desserts we served—raw burgers, pizza, tacos, Greek falafels, coconut Thai soup, breakfast crepes, ice cream sandwiches, cakes, pies, raw chocolate, and so much more. As you will see, many of the raw food connoisseurs who attended said it was the best raw food they’ve ever experienced. You’ll also get a glimpse of the unlimited fresh vegetable juices and coconuts, along with river hikes, waterfalls, swimming, shopping in town, and all the magic that made this retreat unforgettable.

You’ll also see how blown away people were when they stepped on the scale at the end of the retreat—despite indulging in incredible raw treats all day, every day. Their skin transformed as well, leaving them glowing, vibrant, and full of life. If you join us, please let me take your photo before the retreat begins so you can compare your amazing results at the end!

You see, many people arrive at our retreats worried they’ll feel deprived eating only raw food for a full two weeks. But the reality is the opposite. The food is so delicious, so abundant, and so satisfying that there’s absolutely no sense of deprivation at all.

People usually indulge joyfully in this abundance for the entire retreat—and still end up with a full body transformation while seeing remarkable changes in their skin, eyes, hair, and overall glow. The reason this happens is simple: for most of us, this way of eating is such a powerful upgrade from our usual diets that the body responds beautifully.

We provide gourmet raw lunches every single day, along with generous breakfast and dinner buffets—and all three meals are truly “all you can eat.”

If you’d like to bring someone who isn’t into raw food, no problem. We have amazing local chefs who can prepare whatever they’d like—while still keeping everything 100% whole-food based. Most people don’t even realize they’re eating a healthier option because it tastes so good.

Our Raw Food Chef will be sharing inspiring food preparation demonstrations, and I’ll personally be with you all day, every day—giving talks on raw food, superfoods, spiritual insights, and so much more.

As you’ll see in the video above, we’ll provide you with every single recipe created during the retreat.

The retreat takes place at a beautiful eco-resort, where you can relax in the steam room, dry sauna, hot jacuzzis, and pool. The jacuzzis are filled with pristine Vilcabamba mountain water—completely chlorine-free—and they’re drained and refilled every night. This pure, mineral-rich hot water feels incredible on the skin and is deeply supportive of healing.

We also have an exciting lineup of activities planned: horseback riding, a scenic bike tour through local villages, river hikes, and breathtaking explorations in Podocarpus National Park. Plus, we’ll take you to stunning nearby waterfalls and crystal-clear rivers to cool off and enjoy nature’s beauty. And that’s just the beginning—the adventures truly go on and on!

I’m incredibly excited about this Raw Food Retreat! It truly feels like a two-week vacation for me, and I get to spend it wholeheartedly with all of you.

This retreat is open to everyone: adults, children, families—whether you’re into raw food or not.
