Even if you don't like the yoga, you might just want to come for the food. We will be offering vegan friendly dishes so fantastic, every meal will be an epiphany in your mouth.
We are abundantly fortunate to have Emrys Tetu back again as our maha wholefoods chef. She totally rocked our tastebuds and thrilled our palates on the last retreat. She is a renowned cooking teacher of integrative nutrition and generously offers her many years of knowledge to the lurkers in the kitchen (so long as they are polite.) After the retreat you might want to study cooking with Emrys. You can even start studying with her today by skype.
Please note: We will offer a secondary breakfast option of organic eggs, coffee and tea in the morning for those who want it. If you want eggs, you must email us in advance how many. Everything has to be brought over on the ferry.
