The Retreat with Nick Knowles

As Nick Knowles and the gang depart for Koh Phangan Thailand, we begin to get to know them and the mental and physical issues they are hoping to overcome. Medicals underway, the Resort's healers get to grips with the issues on the casts' tailored programmes.

The gang starts to bond as they get to grips with their detox schedules and go solo with their colemas. Treatments start and the cast experience yoga and reiki with some profound reactions for certain cast members.

As the fast becomes a distant memory for most, Type II Diabetic Milton is still undergoing his. The group starts to fragment as their personal journeys come to the fore and Nick begins to carve a physical programme of his own.

With the fast at it's end the gang get restless and some of the activities don't engage the whole group. Meanwhile Milton continues his fast and the results are coming in. Laura and Claire spend some time at a buddist temple looking for answers

Oren's methods continue to perplex the gang and the therapies become ever more extreme. The gang get a night out and the mindfullness begins to take hold, but the slowing down doesent appeal to everyone. Julian has a breakthrough in his own Reiki journey.

Nick and Julian surprise Luke by having a break through in their yoga therapy. Milton and Kathy end their fast and Reike training has some surprising effects.

Nick finds some of the therapies are not to his taste. There is also a shock departure as one of the gang has had enough. To get over the surpise the remaining gang venture out in boats, do some Muay Thai, and relax a secret mountain spa

Most of the Gang return to the temple to take up walking meditation with Orlon the Monk. With their journey coming to an end the Gang learn how to continue their new lifestyle at home. The results are in and they are not only surprising to the gang, but also to Dr. Nick. Has 28 days been enough to change their lives?
