Yên Retreat at Namia River Retreat – The Art of Fasting and Renewal.

An exclusive fasting and renewal experience by Namia River Retreat, expertly curated and delivered by Vietnam Detox.
Experience true respite where the gentle calm of Vietnam’s riverbanks meets the proven science of Buchinger Fasting. At Yén Retreat, every moment guides you, slowly, toward clarity, balance, and natural harmony.

The meaning of “Yên”

In Vietnamese, “yên” means peace, balance, and contentment; living gently in tune with nature and yourself. Rooted in these values, the retreat offers a sanctuary for slowing down and reconnecting. Inspired by Namia’s philosophy of hospitality and mindful living, every detail helps you step away from daily noise and rediscover calm. (To pronounce “Yên” correctly, say it softly like “ee-en,” blending both sounds together in one smooth, gentle syllable. It may look like the English name “Ian,” but start with a clear “ee” sound, as in “see.”) 

A Journey Blending Tradition and Modern Science

Over five days, you’ll explore the healing power of Vietnamese herbology woven into daily rituals, while Vietnam Detox leads you through international-standard Buchinger Fasting. Our team stands with you from start to finish, providing support, ensuring safety, and offering clear guidance.
Yén Retreat is more than a detox. It is a journey of personal renewal where ancestral wisdom and modern science work together for lifelong well-being.
