 The New York Times states that "Tree of Life AZ is the fasting destination of choice." Harper's Bazaar magazine calls the Tree of Life "one of the world's best ten yoga & detoxification retreats." The Tree of Life's Juice Fast Detoxification programs are green-juice fasts held in the picturesque setting of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, the perfect place to retreat, heal, and focus inward.
Everyone can benefit from green juice fasting. Regardless of how healthy one’s lifestyle or diet might be, we live in a toxic world. On a chronic basis, we are all exposed to harmful chemicals in our environment. Most foods contain pesticides, preservatives and additives that are difficult for the body to process. Additionally, the air and water supplies of most populated areas are contaminated. Indiscriminate use of pharmaceuticals and habits like alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and other drugs push the body into toxic overload. Other habits on an emotional/ psychological level have a similar deleterious effect. Moreover, the fast-paced multitasking lifestyle that has become the collective norm is extremely taxing on the physiology.
In short, most bodies are being given demands that they cannot sustain. When our bodies become overloaded, elimination processes slow, overworked organs are unable to finish their respective tasks, and toxins become embedded in our systems. The results may or may not be apparent to the naked eye, but inevitably lead to diseases and decrease our capacity to function optimally.
The most common symptoms of Toxic Overload Are:
- low energy/ fatigue
- poor concentration/memory
- strong food cravings
- depression
- digestive problems
- aches and pains
- sugar/caffeine/alcohol/drug dependence
- frequent illnesses
- excess weight
- disease
- premature aging
Juice fasting allows the body to divert the energy normally expended on the digestive process and use it, instead, on the eradication of toxicity, acidity, and other bodily contaminants. The Detoxification Program consists of medically supervised green juice fasting combined with detoxification treatments that facilitate cleansing. The 10-day Detox is a 7-day fast plus three days live food meals, including the re-introduction of healthy food into the system upon breaking the fast.
Fasting has long been heralded as a potent state for spiritual evolution. It helps to bring clarity and a feeling of interconnectedness. Daily, optional programs such as meditation, yoga, and spiritual discussion offer the opportunity to enhance the journey of self-discovery and expand consciousness. Participants find this an invaluable aspect of the detoxification process.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Four low-glycemic 16 oz green juices per day made from high quality, nutrient dense, and organic produce like kale, spinach, dandelion, lettuce, cucumbers, celery, swiss chard, and other dark greens. An eclectic self-serve buffet of juice condiments provides additional flavor diversity. This includes a selection of fresh lime, lemon, and ginger juices; himalayan salt crystals; and spices like turmeric, cayenne pepper, and more.
- Fasting Intake with the TOL medical staff to determine your individual fasting needs
- Daily Check-ins with the TOL medical staff
- Therapeutic Treatments, including:
- 2 Lymphatic Drainage Massages: The lymphatic system is an extensive network of vessels, ducts, and fluid throughout the body that functions to eliminate toxins. This gentle massage technique is a type of therapy that stimulates the lymphatic system to function more efficiently and helps to reduce blockages. It is invaluable in the cleansing process to maximize the effects of fasting.
- 3 Ozone Steambox Treatments: Ozone therapy uses ozone, a gaseous allotrope of oxygen, to help detoxify and oxygenate the body. This singlet oxygen molecule has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. The treatment consists of moist heat saturated with ozone that is introduced to the body while sitting in a hot steam cabinet. The heat allows the pores to open and maximizes the transdermal intake of the ozone into the fat, lymph, and blood. Toxins are removed by sweating.
- Daily Oxy-Bounce Access: By combining exercise with the delivery of medical-grade oxygen, this treatment maximizes the penetration of oxygen. Poor air quality, combined with the fact that lung capacity decreases exponentially with aging, makes this beneficial for anyone. Most biological processes rely on adequate oxygen levels so this treatment is particularly important during cleansing.
- Fasting Pack includes: Fasting Book, Skin Brush, Enema Bag, Genuine Enzyme Powder, Ultra Probiotic Formula, Gem Flower Elixir, Tachyon Fasting Elixir, Triphala, 1 oz Sesame Oil, Ph Paper Roll, Tongue Scraper, NCD, Crystal Energy, Oxybounce Mask (For Rebounder) - a $327 value!

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE:
Please review our Welcome Guide and Important Policies before you arrive at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center. Inside you will find details on how to prepare for your stay, what to bring, and what to expect.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
Please note: The majority of our rooms are shared, double-occupancy lodging with shared bathrooms a short walk away. Our listed prices reflect this lodging option. You will be given a roommate of the same gender when necessary. We have four private rooms with private bathrooms available at additional costs. Alternatively, you may choose to stay off site in town and attend your program at the Tree of Life during the day, though this option typically requires approval from our medical staff. We generally recommend that you stay on site with us to assist you in your healing journey.
The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center spreads across 180 acres of land, nestled within the pristine natural setting of the Mountain Empire of Patagonia. Our on-site lodging is intentionally simple to inspire a profound inward journey.
The Casitas, one of our on-site housing options, are ecologically constructed. We have ten bright and clean rooms surrounding a Spanish-style courtyard. Four outdoor shared bathrooms with showers are only a few steps from each room. Two of the Casitas are private rooms with private bathrooms, available for an extra fee (please contact us for details) and the other eight rooms are shared, with two twin beds per room. The Casitas are located a short walk from our Café and a 15 min walk to the Oasis, which is the administrative building that includes the front desk, wellness spa, medical center, Culture of Life Shoppe, and natural pharmacy.
Only a few steps from the Oasis is the Orchard House. It is the closest housing option to all our rejuvenation & spa treatments. There we offer 4 shared guest rooms (two twin beds per room) in a house setting, complete with laundry room, living room, kitchen (no stove), 2 full baths, and a wooden front porch with a view of the majestic Red Mountain.
Our water is well water that is pumped through solar energy. The drinking water is filtered through a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification system. All the guest rooms are cleaned daily with all-natural, chemical-free products.
The all-inclusive daily base-rate is $199, including lodging, meals and juices, daily activities and free amenity use.
- Lodging*; rooms in 8 of the Casitas and the Orchard House are small, each equipped with two twin size natural latex beds and a shared wardrobe and dresser. Bathrooms are shared with other guests. The two private Casitas each have one double bed and a private bathroom (additional charges apply).
- Healing Live-Food Cuisine is served buffet-style at the Tree of Life Café. All meals are 100% organic, locally-grown, plant-source-only, high-mineral, low-glycemic, and prepared with love.
- Daily Activities include Kali Ray TriYoga®, spiritual nutrition education classes, healthy living Q&A with physician, food prep classes, meditations and spiritual evening programs.
- Amenities; unlimited wheat grass and tea stations, non-chlorinated pool and open-air hot tubs, sundecks, Mikvah (purification bath), labyrinth, medicine wheel, teepee, far-infrared saunas, nature trails, wireless internet at the Oasis and the Cafe and on-site shuttle service available upon request. Please note that shuttle is only available at certain hours of the day, and the center requires a lot of walking regardless. Walking also encourages the healing process.
- NO: in-room phones, TV, internet, or stereo. This is intentional to facilitate a feeling of complete retreat. There is high-speed wireless internet available at the Tree of Life Cafe and at the Oasis (administrative building), although it is strongly recommended that guests break from using internet and cell phones as much as possible during their stay.
Guests may also stay off-site, if they have been approved to do so by the medical staff, at one of the local B&Bs or guest houses. Patagonia is a small mountain town with only one main street and no traffic lights. Partner locations are only few minutes driving distance away from the Tree of Life campus.

PLEASE NOTE: We are not wheelchair accessible! The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center celebrates living close to the earth and deliberately provides this experience for our guests. In support of aiding our guests in cultivating a relationship with surrounding nature, our paths and roads are rugged and often rocky, with minimal artificial lighting. Any guest who has difficulties maintaining stability while walking, and especially our diabetic guests struggling with neuropathy, should use care while traversing our grounds. Though we typically encourage our guests to walk around our Center for exercise and to support inner peace, those dealing with any conditions that promote imbalance would be wise to use a car to get around our premises and to choose those walking paths offering smoother, more level surfaces and ample lighting. Guests should use their own discretion while at our Center. The Tree of Life is not liable for any injuries incurred in our natural setting.
TOURS
Tours of the Tree of Life grounds are offered during high volume times, such as during our 21-day programs. Outside of these programs, tours can be arranged upon advanced notice. Please call ahead to arrange this. We are not set up to offer tours without advanced notice. Thank you for your understanding.
