3-Night Wellness Retreat, Julian CA

This three-night wellness retreat at Living Water Wellness in Julian, California, is a fasting, cleansing and detox retreat for guests who want to reset body, mind and spirit in a forested mountain setting in Southern California. It suits people with a busy schedule, and those who want regular maintenance and self care, who would like to speed up the healing process without taking a full week away. Living Water Wellness has supported guests with holistic wellness programs for over two decades.

The program is built around the individual. Each guest receives a personalized nutrition plan, one-to-one coaching and a detoxification treatment, with the whole stay shaped to their needs and goals.

What to Expect

Your stay begins before you arrive, with a pre-retreat consultation. Once on site, the days combine cleansing nutrition, movement, treatments and teaching.

Meals emphasize whole, plant-based foods, with cleansing herbs and elixirs included alongside personalized supplementation. The mind-and-body side of the program includes yoga and meditation, a daily movement activity, classes, workshops and seminars, and guest speakers. Facilitators lead sessions on everything from supporting your detoxification pathways to energetic healing.

Treatments vary from stay to stay. The services that may be offered include colon hydro therapy, electro lymphatic therapy, ion foot detox, massage, Reiki and other energy healing, coaching, and sound healing. Intuitive energy healers work one to one with guests, and movement and sound practices are part of the spiritual side of the program.

After you go home, follow-up care continues the work. One past guest, Bonnie Rohweller, wrote that the founder, Ciara, remained available for questions after her fasting retreat and that the plan was tailored with real care, including a gentler approach when a standard fast was not right for her.

The Setting

The retreat takes place among the woodlands of Julian, CA, in a secluded, private setting. Guests wander forest trails by day, and the dark sky above the property is remarkable for stargazing at night.

Accommodation is in private cabins with plush bedding, spacious living areas and private outdoor spaces, offering solitude when you want it and connection when you do not. Room and board and all food and drinks are part of the all-inclusive package.

Before You Go

The three-night format runs from a Sunday or Monday check-in to a Wednesday or Thursday checkout. Longer four-night and five-night stays are also offered, but this listing is for the shorter one.

Because every program is customized, tell the team about your health, any digestive or pain concerns, and what you hope to get from the stay during the pre-retreat consultation. The nutrition plan and the choice of treatments are then fitted to you. Private and small group retreats can also be adapted to individual needs and wishes.

The all-inclusive package covers the consultation, daily movement, one-to-one wellness coaching, your personalized nutrition program, a detoxification treatment, intuitive energy healing, personalized supplementation and post-retreat follow-up care. Rates and cabin options are shown on the event page.
