Dukes Farm
A quieter rhythm, guided by the fast
In the Black Mountains, a stay at Dukes Farm is organized around a deceptively simple practice: water fasting, supported by guidance rather than left entirely to willpower. Retreats are presented as a chance to explore fasting in relation to weight goals, mental clarity and spiritual reflection, with fasting lengths tailored to individual needs. Coaching and wellness activities round out the experience, while the mountain landscape offers a quieter setting for stepping back from ordinary routines. The emphasis is on guided fasting and wellbeing, not on a named meditation tradition. Water fasting is a substantial commitment, so discuss personal suitability and any health concerns with a qualified clinician before booking. Ask the host how support is adapted during a retreat, and confirm dates and practical arrangements directly with Dukes Farm.
