At our retreat, we understand that nourishing the body is just as essential as nourishing the mind. Food is a powerful tool in supporting emotional and physical well-being, particularly during times of transformation. Our approach to meals is centered around creating balanced, vibrant dishes that are nutrient-dense, restorative, and designed to promote emotional healing, mental clarity, and overall vitality. We believe that when the body is nourished properly, it naturally supports the mind and spirit in their own healing journeys.

We prioritise whole, plant-based ingredients, each chosen for its nutritional benefits, healing properties, and vibrant flavors. Every meal is thoughtfully crafted to include a variety of at least 30 different fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds over the course of the weekend, providing you with a rich spectrum of essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fats. This diversity of ingredients not only supports physical health but also boosts energy levels, enhances cognitive function, and promotes a sense of well-being.

Our meals are designed to nourish the gut microbiome, knowing that the gut plays a crucial role in emotional regulation, immunity, and overall health. A healthy gut contributes to a balanced mood and a clear mind. As part of our commitment to digestive health, we incorporate fermented foods such as homemade sauerkraut and pickles, which are rich in probiotics and promote a healthy gut flora. These probiotic-rich foods help improve digestion, support nutrient absorption, and reduce inflammation, which can lead to greater emotional balance and well-being.

A highlight of our food offerings is our buffet lunch, which combines 30 different plant-based ingredients in one meal. This colorful, nourishing spread is designed to support optimal digestive health and offer a variety of textures and flavors. It's not only a feast for the senses but also a deep dive into the abundance of nature's offerings, ensuring that you receive a variety of nutrients in every bite.

We are deeply mindful of the emotional processing and healing that occurs throughout the retreat. That’s why we emphasise restorative foods—those that aid in the body’s natural healing processes. These meals are crafted to replenish energy, restore balance, and promote mental clarity. We draw inspiration from the latest research in nutritional psychology and Mind Food, which explores the connection between gut health and emotional well-being. Our meals are more than just nourishment; they are designed to foster emotional resilience, help you reconnect with yourself, and empower you to move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

Whether it’s a grounding breakfast to start your day, a vibrant and nutrient-packed lunch to keep you energized, or a calming dinner to ease you into restful sleep, every meal is carefully prepared to support your physical and emotional journey. From vibrant, seasonal fruits and vegetables to wholesome grains and healthy fats, we ensure each dish is a holistic experience designed to leave you feeling nourished, restored, and empowered.

Additionally, to further enhance your understanding of how nutrition impacts your health, we offer food workshops throughout the retreat. These interactive sessions will explore the science behind gut health, the importance of a balanced microbiome, and how specific foods can influence digestion, mood, and mental clarity. You'll gain practical insights on how to incorporate probiotics, anti-inflammatory foods, and other gut-supporting ingredients into your diet—tools that you can carry forward into your everyday life for lasting wellness.
