Seasonal and Local Produce

The food at our yoga retreats comprise of only the freshest, seasonal local produce. As you will discover, the fruit and vegetables in this region are second to none. We grow plenty of ingredients in our organic vegetable patch and on our many fruit trees. Some of the fruit we have growing freely on site include lemons, oranges, almonds, pomegranates, and carob - to name a few!

Otherwise we go to the nearby town to buy from the local markets and farmers, many of whom we are on a first name basis with! We also organize trips to the local markets with guests on our yoga retreats, so you can see first hand where your food comes from if you choose.

Healthy Veggie Food

We run a vegetarian kitchen, and we can cater for special dietary needs - please let us know when you book. All meals are included in the price, and alcohol is available at a small extra charge.

There’s also an all-day snack bar (not included in the price)

  • 29th April 2024 The power of Now retreat

    My dear Elliot,
    When I came here (my first ever retreat) I did not know what to expect. However, it was better and more than I imagined. My little heart was sad and my heart overwhelmed. Being here with these beautiful human beings, in the middle of nature changed many things for me. I have never met anyone that inspired me the way you do. Here I found peace, silence companion and kindness, more importantly, I found back strength within myself. After 5 surgeries, 4.5 years of chronic pain and inability to run, hike weight lift and do what gave my brain a treat. I found something that showed me that I am not as fragile as I thought I was. And with this strength I found trust came back. Trust in myself and my body. I am leaving this place a different person that came and don’t worry I will be back.

    Elliot
    I am very inspired by you, to take life more like, as we say in Swedish. "en klackspark" or as you say "have fun" I learnt a lot and every time i'll forget about all wisdom. I will go back in my mind and think of you. You are a very generous and beautiful soul, thank you for welcoming us and taking such good care of us I feel healed.
    Love

    Dear Elliot
    Thank you so much for a wonderful and unforgettable time at your beautiful place that you have created. The nature, the food, the people, the yoga meditation and the evenings in the living room were so great. Thank you for sharing your home with me. I will never forget the wonderful cacao ceremony with Marlene and all the wonderful people. Thank you so much for all this. It's so nice to have such a great place and a wonderful and gorgeous person like you around me in this area.
    See you soon
