Felix Economakis
US ARFID Intensive Retreat

About the event

If you feel trapped by fear or resistance around food, you've probably tried everything and nothing seems to help.

This retreat is designed for you to experience lasting change, guided by the world's leading ARFID specialist.

Across 2 days, psychologist Felix Economakis will guide a small group through a carefully structured programme that blends pioneering therapeutic methods, emotional-regulation tools, and live demonstrations. Each day is designed to reduce anxiety, build calm, and gently expand food confidence — in a safe, supported setting.

You will also gain insights into the mindset shifts that truly support recovery, ensuring progress continues long after the retreat ends.

What makes this retreat different?

This isn't a clinical bootcamp or a “try one bite” approach. It's a breakthrough framework that helps you understand what's really happening in your mind, and empowers you to change it.

Using Felix's Pioneering ARFID Protocol, the retreat helps participants:

• Reframe food avoidance as a mind‐body response, not stubbornness or defiance.
• Regulate emotions before tackling new foods.
• Rebuild trust in themselves and the eating process.
• Experience positive progress, not pressure.

Every activity and session is built around safety, understanding, and empowerment, the three ingredients proven to unlock change.
