That is the question Deepak Chopra asked the Harvard professor of Neurology, Rudy Tanzi, and it was the start of their research on lifestyle as preventative and curing of disease. At Olive we have 7 Principal Principles and #2 goes: We Are a Process not a Product. It’s clear what we think of the brain. It’s a verb! We think everything is a process. Even the stone with its high density mass is transforming over time. We definitely are! In seven years we don’t have one single cell that is the same. There is no power in Now, the power meaning the energy of life, Prana, is in accepting the change and being aware of it. Have a mind, don’t let it have you.
Decisions we made in the past was done in another context than now, in another cellular body, in another mind. There is no point in beating ourselves or others up for something we did 10, 20, 30 years ago. We weren’t we then. Let go of the now, accept the change, feel the Here. Yes! Here, be in the Here. That’s what the Now means. Not in time but in space. Be where you are; at work, with a friend, eating, on the phone, at a museum. That is healthy! The mind as the body is a tool, an instrument, a device, or much better, it’s a gift. A gift that nature gave you and that you can use. So ask yourself if the mind is using you or you are using the mind. Step our of yourself and observe. Meditate!
So very often we do the opposite. We hang on to the memory. Actually the strong memories cannot be forgotten, we can always go back and find them. But we can transform them. See them from other angels, other perspective and we can then ‘rewire’ our emotions that are connected to those strong memories. That’s what we call a Mind Detox. There is something hugely freeing to get out of a memory and see it with other eyes. The old Ayurvedic recommendation on how to do this works; Observe yourself from the outer perspective.

O•live Retreat demystifies health and in the process it stands clear that health is far from drugs or injections made from petrochemicals.
First we make sure you know yourself, your body and what being healthy means to you, really means. Then we continue to a good cleanse on all levels, Body·Mind·Soul.
With over 15 years in this business and as Conde Nast Travel and some others put it "top-ranked" health retreat, we base our work on the O• method, derived from a multitude of methods, both old as Ayurveda and new as Orthomolecular Medicine. You'll get healthier in all areas of life (as we don't think one can leave health at home while going to work and we can't say we are healthy if we destroy our bodies over the weekend either). One is either healthy or not, within oneself and in ones habits. What that means can only be defined by each and one and if that is to indulge in the unhealthy stuff it's because it's really worth it for the only judge - you.
We offer events such as retreats, workshops, or online courses and we believe in education as the fundamentals of healing is that it's done by oneself. Others can support but it's only oneself that can heal oneself.
The key training for professionals is focused on enhanced productivity through self-inspiration and self-care. As a high equity manager in the finance sector put it - it's all about staying highly inspired. We couldn't agree more and we know how that biochemistry looks like.
Independent studies find that 96% of our guests become more healthy and stay healthy after 6 months, 82% stay healthy after a year. This is a better rate than any other retreat, treatment or training, as far as we know. Our teachings are based on modern science, and ancient evidence based techniques, and a lot of personal experience with trial and error, in the field of being a healthy human in the 21st century.
