Retreat Q&A
What does an Ayurveda Diet Mean on a Retreat ?
About the 2023 Retreat – Please note that programme and team will be different. This is for information purposes only.
A little word from our cook Sofia
– Why is ayurvedic nutrition so important to you / and specifically on this retreat ?
For me Nutrition is the most important thing on an ayurvedic retreat. It’s the most important tool to support and nourish our body and mind. I ‘ve started cooking on Retreats for people to taste and experience the powerful effect Nutrition has, on themselves.
– What would you like to share / transmit with participants during this retreat ?
The knowledge of this ancient wisdom, directly by experience it. For me was amazing the change I felt only by eating the right food for my constitution and my need at that time.
– How will you support participants detox/balance process with cooking during the retreat ?
We look forward to welcoming you to Greece !

“I think it is essential sometimes to go into retreat, to stop everything that you have been doing, to stop your beliefs and experiences completely and look at them anew, not keep on repeating like machines whether you believe or don’t believe. You would let fresh air into your minds.” (Jiddu Krishnamurti)
