Based on your application we can start to create your bespoke Neuro reset programme.

The Neuro Reset Programme is the culmination of a four year journey that started with Burgs’ own health challenges following the pandemic. This started when he had a series of seizures that left him incapacitated and unable to work for almost a year.

The programme brings together the tools and practices that allowed him to heal his brain and nervous system, and recover from the trauma and damage that these events had caused his whole neurological system. By using cutting edge technologies that rewire, rebalance and retune the brain and nervous system as part of an overall ‘whole being reset programme’ we are now able to initiate profound levels of healing and transformation in short periods of time by integrating them with our existing wellness programmes. This enables us to help you to overcome the accumulation of stress, trauma, unhealthy conditioning and misinformation from the entire body system at a depth and rate that was previously unimaginable.

We are all aware of the ever-increasing challenges that modern life presents us with, and we are only now starting to fully recognise and understand the toll that it takes on both our physical and also our mental health. Advancing techniques have brought awareness to the powerful connection between neurological health and mental wellbeing. It is only recently becoming apparent how deep-rooted impairments in brain function can result in entrenched neurological disfunction, creating imbalances and unhealthy behavioural habit patterns, which are very resistant to change. This can impact healthy cognitive function and our ability to feel truly well at every level of our life.

This retreat programme introduces some of these new game-changing approaches to healing the body, the nervous system and specifically the brain to help us regain the balance we may have lost and grown accustomed to.

Please note that these programmes are only available to those who have already attended our other residential retreats.

Below are a number of aspects to this retreat :

The Basics

  1. Dieta - You will be offered the opportunity to prepare for your retreat if you wish to. Not essential but it has the potential to enhance your experience. Please ask for details about this during booking. During the retreat we will provide a menu based around intermittent fasting, focused mainly around raw food/ cleansing foods, and a ketogenic diet. This aims to support your neurological detox process during your time with us.

  2. Digital Detox - Something that we have advocated for over the decades is handing in all your technology upon arrival. This includes phones, laptops and all wearable technology including biotrackers etc. We suggest you bring an old fashioned book with you if want to read. A notebook to journal. The retreat space is a wifi free space and has no internet access. An emergency number is provided for loved ones to get messages to you if needed.
    Access to our ‘reset’ tech apparatus will help your whole nervous system and brain heal and optimise ( details below).

  3. Exercise - A swimming pool and sauna is available for use at designated times during the day.
    A group yoga / chi kung session each day. Quiet walking around the olive and almond groves.

  4. Meditation - You will have open access to our beautiful meditation hall where you can practice whenever you wish. In the cooler months the movement sessions may also be held in here as part of your programme.

  5. Passive Reset Techniques - Engaging in activities that help regulate the brain function into more calming and relaxed states of consciousness. Drawing, colouring, painting, puzzles among other things…

  6. Small Group Participants - These retreats will be very intimate small groups of no more than 6 per programme.

In addition to the above aspects of the retreat each participant will also engage in a number of daily treatments including -

Photobiomodulation therapy: to stimulate the mitochondria in the brain and restore its ability to convert ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) into energy. This is extremely helpful for anyone experiencing chronic fatigue, brain fog or muddled thinking. This therapy delivers specific wavelengths of light that can be absorbed by the mitochondria in the cells of the body inducing an increase in the efficiency of energy conversion within nerve cells and well as the communication between them.

Hydrogen Inhalation therapy: this is a powerful treatment that significantly reduces the levels of neuro and brain inflammation, a common cause for chronic fatigue and impaired brain functioning.

Hydrogen is as a powerful antioxidant with zero metabolic by-products that helps your brain and nervous system to breakdown and eliminate the buildup of toxic metabolic waste. It also helps to optimise your bodies cellular renewal process.

Pulsed Electromagnetic treatment: this treatment introduces coherence through a supportive pulsed electromagnetic field to your body helping it to realign to its natural electromagnetic rhythms. This is an important part of the digital detox process as we help your body to recover and reset from the disruptive and excessive exposure to harmful EMF’s emitted by the habitual overuse of technology. Using a very low-intensity pulsed EMF, it helps improve micro-circulation in the body. It also optimises the body’s natural healing functions.

Brain Entrainment: A technique that uses rhythmic stimuli to entrain the brain to function more optimally in targeted areas, we use these treatment sessions to supplement and support the more targeted work that is done in your personalised sessions ( see below).


Your Personalised Neuro Reset Programme

On top of the process that everyone engages in there will also be a personalised part to your programme. This aspect of the retreat will contain two modalities:

qEEG Brain Mapping - is an advanced and non-invasive diagnostic technique that reveals insights about your brain. The map shows which areas of your brain may be overactive or underactive, as well as the coherence between different brain regions. It helps us identify disregulation in your brains basic functioning that may be contributing to poor or excessive/ obsessive attention, memory, or processing speed, the ability of the brain to enter stand by mode in times of rest, and what might be lying behind patterns of stress depression or anxiety. We map your brain over a two hour period in multiple areas under various conditions. The data that the brain map yeilds highlights your brain’s strengths and weaknesses.

Neurofeedback - is a tool that aims to improve the physiological functioning of the brain, whilst improving the patterns associated with our cognitive, physical and emotional capacity. This training acts on the electrical functioning of the brain, creating new energy patterns using modern computer technology to regulate and stabilise the brain to improve cognitive function, attention, mood, anxiety, sleep, and behaviour. All of this is accomplished without the use of medication.


Bespoke Neurological and Energetic Reset sessions with Burgs

Additional to the basic programme that everyone undertakes, personalised deep energetic reset sessions with Burgs may be offered. This will be a carefully curated and very personal healing experience. We may suggest that you have a qEEG brain map done to help Burgs assess your individual needs, but these can also be assessed during an initial consultation upon arrival.

Thereafter one or more personalised sessions may be recommended during which Burgs will work directly with you to identify where in your unconscious field you hold the key blockages and which part of your brain needs to be targeted and at what frequency to help you unlock and release the neural pathways that keep these blockages in place. This is done by carefully steering your brain through various states, to firstly identify and then to treat both the neurological blockages and their psychological / emotional or other expressions together with the impact they may have had upon you at a conscious or unconscious level.

This is a very unique and powerful process that we have seen can often unlock a lifetime of unhealthy conditioning. Burgs may also prescribe a series of supplementary sessions in our healing chamber which will be facilitated by one of his assistants.

These sessions with Burgs and follow up sessions are offered on a donation basis at your discretion.
