The Sura Team

Our Detox Retreats put your health back in your hands

Each of the Sura team has over ten years experience in their respective fields, and are committed to making your detox experience as perfect and productive as possible.

As a group, one or more of us are always on hand throughout the retreat for support and care.

Amida Harvey

Amida's work in the world of Peace Dancing, and Sufism is what first brought us all together, and over a decade ago we became friends at camps that he initiated in the UK.
That was many years ago, and his 'space-holding' skills and generally 'happy-chapy' attitude makes him the perfect frontman for the retreats.
Amida's greatest gift to the retreats is the morning movement & pre tai chi exercises.

More on Amida

Dao Earl

Dao's ten-years of colonics, fasting and detox has evolved these practices into the format the Sura team now follow. This journey started with his own health, then attracted the attention of friends and the budding systems in Thailand. In Spain it became Home-Colonics, and then Karuna Retreats in UK, before arriving in the easeful situation that is Sura Detox today.
Dao's talks are his primary offering to the retreat, along with his working knowledge of detox and its symptoms.

Benita Verniers

Benita has been running a successful massage practice from home for many years, and played that role on numerous retreat settings, including a number of Karuna Retreats with Dao. Each of her clients is met through her lifelong enthusiasm for bodywork and the benefits it has in the retreat setting.
Benita puts together both the therapy setting, and hand-picks the therapists needed to meet your requests.

Kate Maryon

Kate's skill of helping people to welcome the truth along with the pain, means that she has played the role of homeopath for each of us for many years. Her knowledge of humanity as much as homeopathy leads her seamlessly from disarming questions, to appropriate remedies. Sessions with Kate can take the form of a Homeopathic consultation, Life Coaching session or just a general chat.
Kate's endless empathy enables her to be mum to those who are in need of emotional support.

Nikki Chambers

Nikki is the newest member of the team, and was brought in initially for your expertise in Yoga. Since running those sessions to everyne's delight, she has invented the craft workshops to keep people engaged and creative throughout the week.
The final day is defined by Nikki's two hour slots teaching and tasting recipes in her hands-on fashion. They are not only delicious, but are, more importantly, a great way to bring the body back to the world of food, and enable the mind to consider introducing more raw foods into one's diet.

More on Nikki

"The warmth and genuine nature of Dao, Amida, Benita & Kate shone through to make the stay (and lack of food for 7 days) that bit more bearable!"
