Reset Fasting Retreat 

With the exclusive use of the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Protocol

There is a silence in the hills of Tinhela610 that speaks to the body and the soul alike. Here, time slows, not in stagnation, but in a return to nature’s rhythm—the gentle unfurling of the morning mist, the hush of the wind threading through the trees, the river’s bubbling persistence. To fast here is not to deprive, but to renew.

RESET RETREAT: THE PROLON FASTING MIMICKING PROGRAM

In this six-day retreat, we embrace the ProLon Fasting Mimicking Program, a science-backed protocol that allows the body to experience the regenerative benefits of fasting while still receiving nourishment. Each carefully crafted meal, each moment of movement and stillness, is an invitation to reset—to pare away the unnecessary, to remember what it is to feel truly well.

SLEEP, BATHE, NOURISH, MOVE

Each morning, before the world stirs in earnest, we rise to herbal tisanes, breathwork, and meditation, greeting the day with deliberate presence. Movement follows—whether it be gentle stretching, yoga, or chi gong, or an invigorating walk along the winding paths that snake through the hills. The rhythms of fasting align with these movements, a quiet recalibration of internal landscapes, a softening of edges hardened by modern haste.

Beyond the body’s renewal, there is nourishment for the mind. The slow pleasures of reading by the riverside, the whisper of a brush against paper in watercolor painting, the deep quietude of floating in the Tinhela river’s cool embrace—these are not distractions but anchors, grounding us in the present. Here, fasting is not solely an act of the body; it is an uncluttering of the mind, a retreat from excess toward the essential.

As the sun dips and shadows lengthen, we gather again—not in the feast of the old world, but in something more sacred—the sharing of stillness. Deep relaxation and meditation practices guide us into rest, each breath a tide that pulls us further from worry, further into the quiet wisdom of the body. The evening air hums with crickets and the murmurs of unseen creatures, and under the starlit vastness, one cannot help but feel both infinitesimal and infinite at once.

The ProLon Reset Retreat is not bound by season; it is a call that can be answered whenever the need arises. Throughout the year, the doors of Tinhela610 remain open for those seeking renewal. The hills, the river, the sun-warmed stones—they await, patient and unyielding, as they always have. The body follows nature’s lead, remembering itself in the stillness, the hunger, the soft return to vitality.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE PROLON FASTING MIMICKING PROGRAM

Over five days, participants will receive carefully formulated plant-based meals designed to nourish while keeping the body in a fasting state. Each day includes 3 Prolon meals and snacks:

• Nutrient-dense soups featuring vegetables, legumes, and healthy fats

• Nut and seed bars rich in essential fatty acids and plant proteins

• Herbal teas and hydration support for optimal well-being

• Olives and kale crackers for light, healthy snacking

• Micronutrient blends to support overall cellular function

• Small portions of specially designed meals that balance nourishment with fasting benefits

This structured approach allows participants to experience the benefits of fasting, including autophagy and metabolic renewal, while maintaining energy and mental clarity.

ABOUT PROLON

ProLon was born from decades of cutting-edge research in longevity and cellular health, pioneered by Dr. Valter Longo at the University of Southern California. Rooted in the science of fasting, the ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) is designed to trigger the body’s natural ability to regenerate at a cellular level while still providing essential nutrients. By carefully calibrating plant-based nourishment to maintain fasting-like conditions, ProLon supports metabolic health, weight management, and overall well-being without the strain of complete food deprivation.

What makes ProLon unique is its ability to bridge the ancient wisdom of fasting with modern science, making the practice more accessible without sacrificing its profound benefits. Studies have demonstrated improvements in markers of aging, metabolic function, and cardiovascular health after just five days on the program. Unlike traditional fasts that can feel daunting or unsustainable, ProLon provides a structured and scientifically backed method to experience fasting’s transformative effects safely and effectively. It is this balance—between nourishment and restriction, renewal and sustenance—that makes ProLon the perfect complement to the rhythms of Tinhela610.

This is an on-going retreat, all year long at Tinhela610. It is not offered during certain times when there is a prior retreat or private event booked.
