Understand Your Illness – What Your Body Is Really Trying to Tell You

Physical symptoms are rarely just bad luck or random biochemical reactions.
They are often messages from your soul – signals trying to draw your attention to something you may have been ignoring.

"Understand Your Illness" is a retreat for people who are ready to look beyond their physical symptoms and explore the deeper emotional and spiritual roots of their condition.
It is not a substitute for medical treatment, but a powerful complement – addressing the inner cause, where conventional medicine often stops.
