At Olive Retreat we try to adjust everything we do to live and treat our body and mind as natural as possible, and we find ways to adjust to a busy modern life style. It requires a lot of studying of biochemistry and biology, understanding our human nature, and after that even more, it requires loads of common sense with trial and error. Everyone that can read is capable of doing the same as us. One thing we learnt over the years is the importance of seeing ourselves as natural beings. If we go crazy sometimes, we then realize that it is maybe the society that is stressed and crazy, not us. It’s the society we created that is hyperactive, and could be diagnosed with ADHD, we are just mirroring it like this modern Goddess!
With natural we basically mean what we have probably been developed to do or not do, over billions of years. This focus is something we try to apply to all we do. It takes a bit or research to find the most naturally grown crops, or combinations of foods to compose the right dishes for each and every one at our retreats, to find a way to exercise and relax fitting it into a busy lifestyle, etc, but it is perfectly possible for everyone to learn and find their way. The same goes for finding supplements that can help you not only to achieve better health in general, but also to ease your health issues.
We try as much as possible to take the supplements that come in their natural form – plants. One super supplement that is great for many things, relative to the cost, is Grape Seed Extract. It has over 200 OPC’s (oligomeric procyanidins) or polyphenols having anti-oxidative properties. One of those OPC’s is Resveratrol, well researched and known for doing wonders for people with allergy, CVD, asthma, immune system deficiencies, and the list goes on. The way we think is to take not only the Resveratrol but the whole extract, with all those fantastic OPC’s, as we have no idea how they cooperate to do what nature intended them to do for us. Research supports this idea as well and many producers make their supplements accordingly. With the extract we of course eat plants, only plants.

Naturopaths who deeply believe Natural Immunity is still the best, and therefore we work in defense of it.
Since 20+ years we have successfully been consultants in the natural health sector to support individuals and we are in particular working with entrepreneurs and professionals. Our mission is to defend natural health, the only one that really works so far. We mainly but not entirely use Eastern philosophy such as Ayurveda, TCM, Yoga, Thai chi, Falun Gong, and only honest modern science.
Everyone can heal naturally, it's what bodies and (free) minds want. Our O• Method is based on physics, chemistry and biology with emphasis on the first one as the rest often follow naturally. We divide our work in three parts: Body-Mind-Soul. To allow them all to detox and let go we work with energy (Prana, Xi, Vitality, Spirit, Pneuma or whatever you call the life force, it's the same force mentioned in ancient texts) to heal on all levels, i.e. from chronic disease, toxicity, depression and traumas using our own method, reaching 96% success rate which is unheard of by others in our sector. Would you know of anyone with that result, let us know.
Considering that we invented and dumped >120.000 (petro)chemically derived substances since 1945, of which many are very toxic, getting healthy will most likely include a good old body detox sooner or later.
My love for Ayurveda started in 1993 with Deepak Chopra and after a few turns in life I quit my job as a Nordic Brand Manager and BI strategist at the largest Nordic telecom operator and re-schooled in natural medicine. Besides Dr. Chopra I have studied Dr. Lad, Dr. Siva (Pune, India) and other prominent teachers in their field, but the real difference comes with a practiced. I added nutrition, Orthomolecular Medicine with Dr. Nielsen (USA/Spain) and herbalism.
Today we teach those whom want to continue our work and we love to dig down in etymology and the original (mainly Avestan, Pali and Sanskrit) scripts to understand the words fully and I fall in love with the concepts over and over again for every sutra. This love affair that created a few books (Amazon), presentations, essayes and many events and consultations, is still giving us Yang-Yin balance and inspiration. I guess with that we are recognizing the value of Dao De Ching 💚🌿💜
