Take time to care for you.
Rejuvenate, restore, and bloom into your vibrant vitality at our world-renowned wellness center. Spend 5 days cleansing and revitalizing your body and mind at our signature retreat, blending modern and ancient cleansing techniques. Inspired by ayurvedic healing traditions and powered by modern medicine, our Pure Rejuvenation signature retreat restores the body to its natural balance by removing toxins and boosting your internal healing system.

The daily rigors and stresses of life add up, causing blockages in our body and mind. By taking a break to clear out environmental, dietary, mental, and emotional congestion, you will find a sense of renewal and expanded vitality to re-energize you in your daily life.

Your cleansing week begins the moment you drive onto our 400-acre campus, nestled in the beauty of the rolling Pocono Mountains. Serenity and peace welcome you with complimentary hot tea and meditative surroundings.

The Pure Rejuvenation Retreat Includes:
Individual consultations with one of our board certified physicians
Daily relaxing therapeutic massage followed by shirodhara, a special ayurvedic oil therapy treatment
Steam therapy for further toxin removal
Gentle morning hatha yoga classes
Light, simple, and nutritiously cleansing meals that are dairy and gluten-free
Freshly squeezed organic juices
Biofeedback sessions to help with stress management and breath training
Evening lectures and discussion on a variety of topics regarding cleansing, ayurveda, meditation, and relaxation techniques
A personal take-home plan for continued success after the retreat has ended
Plenty of downtime is allowed for you to rest and detox in your own personal way. You may also find a sense of comfort in connecting with the intimate group, set at a maximum of 8 attendees. Enjoy the personal attention of our experienced team of wellness professionals, here for you every step of the way, so you can leave your worries at home and focus completely on deep cleansing and relaxation.

This cleansing retreat is designed for complete nourishment, and as such does not involve fasting, which can actually rob the body of important nutrients and slow your metabolism. Our professional chefs will prepare three fresh, light meals per day that will aid the body in detoxing and recharging. These meals will nourish your body’s internal detoxification system, thereby increasing and supporting the natural capacity you have to cleanse and restore. You may lose weight, and you will definitely feel lighter, more energized, and buoyant.

Open the door to a feeling of clarity and harmony in your body and life.
