The Path To Wellness

    Better Living Retreat is a Christian facility that ministers to the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of suffering humanity. Our mission is to lessen the suffering and to prepare a people to meet the Savior in peace at His Second Coming. With our experience of over 30 years in this field, we have seen the master Physician, restore many souls to health and wellness.

    Our savior left us an example for our work; “And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” Matthew 9:35 Our savior was pained to his heart to see his children suffering with all manner of diseases. We too are pained to our hearts to see humanity suffer, especially knowing that there is a better way for ministering to the sick and suffering.






    Through the simple agencies of nature, people can recover from their illness. We are living witnesses of God’s healing power to restore the sick to wellness. At Better Living Retreat, our goal is to help you achieve the highest state of wellness possible.

    In each Retreat session we teach you how to prepare healthy foods (cooking classes), how to live in harmony with natural laws and apply the natural agencies that the Creator has provided for our well-being.

    This program assists the body in its effort to expel impurities (detoxification) and re-establish balance (cell building) within the system. Nature is then able to build reserve energy and restore the body to wellness.

Disease, which is nature’s effort to remove foreign and offensive materials and establish balance, cannot long survive within the body. The sick,

    Detoxification:

    Cleansing of the body fluids (Blood, Lymph) is accomplished here so that cellular functions necessary for health can be accomplished more efficiently.

    We skillfully use and apply of the natural agencies (above) that the Creator provided, so that the sick may be brought into closer contact with the power of God. When this occur, healing occur at the fastest rate possible. Therefore we conclude that God is the healer (Psalms 103:3, Exodus 15:26), weather it occur through a miracle or through use of the natural agencies described above.

    Program Variations:

    Due to the uniqueness of each person’s body chemistry, the program is different from one person to another. Depending on the reason for going through the program, it may vary. So some people may go on lemon water or green drink fast for 1 to 6 days, others may not need or be able to fast. Some people may need a simple 10 day cleanse or others 18 days program. The first week of the program is most critical to get the body chemistry to respond, and the remaining days the body heals itself at the fastest rate. What ever the case may be you will receive the greatest Christian care and courtesy while you go through the program.

    Follow up:

    At the end of the session, each client is given a take home program; we continue to monitor the client’s progress for at least 6 months in their home. Most people who comply with this program experience increased health and wellness.
