“This was a retreat for the whole body mind spirit. Cristina and Ray were so inspiring, caring and knowledgeable. Came away feeling I’ve entered a new stage in my life. Fantastic.”
“If you really want to get healthy this is it. There’s no doubt Ray and Cristina know their shit...their authenticity and unselfish desire to help goes beyond unique. I freaking love these guys. ”
You are not the cause of your suffering, but you are the cure
the original Mind Detox retreat
Learn to use the healing power that was born into and has always been in you.
Learn to feel yourself as a living being on a living planet with four billion years of experience creating and nurturing life, yours included. Understand yourself as an act of creation and open the door to health wisdom. The best resource you have, the best doctor and pharmacy, is the natural you - created to live - with an intelligence medical science can only partly understand.
Reclaim your health (physical, mental and spiritual)* at a Retreat or Online.
“How can you guys know so much? I thought this was a yoga and vegan food place and you have just given me the key to why I always doubted God. This is huge, thank you Ray”

It’s true what they say, “we know our shyte”
“You are amazing, amazing people! I am utterly dazzled by how well-read and well-informed you are on such a huge range of topics, and how you manage to synthesize all your scholarship into a coherent philosophy of living. And furthermore, how kind you are! Thank you for everything.
”
“...like a body care & mind boot camp.... that I really needed. 💚”
“Todo lo que aprendí lo practico. 🙏 ”
“I am leaving Olive with the science-based knowledge and the skills to look after my body, soul, and mind! This was exactly what I needed, and I’m sure how to continue, bc you cared to find out what I really want in life. Thank you so much for showing me the light and for not giving up on me 😊”
“Another massive “thank you” to you both. No panic attacks very little anxiety. I’m doing amazingly well and wish every person I love could join you...”
“I have learnt so much about myself: started to listen to my body again, question the opinions I have picked up along the way, reengaged with my love of music and literature, learnt how delicious simple and healthy vegan cooking is, and a whole lot more.”
“I keep following my intuition and it constantly provides solutions, answers and reassurance. I am so grateful for feeling connected and calm. I feel I can make the move now.”

Real health, not packaging or marketing
We are unique in that we do not compete within the conventional model of generalized services to general groups in generally conventional energy-intensive structures with toxic materials and dioxin-dosed accessories. In fact, we do not compete at all. Rather, we do what works for the long term, for individuals, for families, groups, and the bigger picture of life on Earth and your life in it. We question where we need to be careful, who stands to profit, and always approach any issue through a multiplicity of recommendations and non-intrusive solutions for healing suffering. We believe in health democracy.
It’s about refinement
In the more than twenty years we have been in this business, we have developed a refined sense of what is most likely to be healthy as opposed to what is most likely fashionable or marketable. Our offer is a natural, incredibly-well designed and well researched setting that provides an authentic health experience. We don’t approach the healing business from the perspective of costumes and funded expertise, but from honest experience, intrigue and pure vision.
no one has the magic formula for all
If you seek guidance, get it from those who walk the talk twenty four hours a day, who eagerly consult all forms of publicly available research while at the same time being suspicious of information derived through sponsored research agreements or biased reporting. We show you how to heal (body·mind·soul) by employing an unaffected, compassionate search for knowledge, an open mind and the freedom of expression. Learn how to respect and achieve health in and around you.
“Massive learning curve. That week changed the way I live and look at my life...and the stars.”
“I just wanted to send you a quick note. Thank you for really being solid friends and support to me. I am so grateful that you reached out in the way you did following my initial desperate email!”
““Müssten wir das Olive Retreat in einem Wort beschreiben, wäre es wahrscheinlich: Großartig!”

*Note. Physical, mental and spiritual are industry standards of communication when referring to our experience as humans, but we acknowledge they likely do no not reflect the full possibilities. In other words, we don’t see “fragmentation.” We see wholeness.
