Workshops
Food as medicine and nourishment for body, mind and soul
Conscious Eating Retreat
11 - 13th September
Join us at Nalanda Ayurvedic Centre in picturesque Greyton for this two-day conscious eating event that will change your relationship with food and inspire you with fun, simple and nutritious vegetarian fare.
Together, we will prepare and cook a variety of dishes from Ayurvedic to Raw Cuisine that will tantalise your taste buds and nourish your body and soul. The emphasis will be on food that is simple, healthy, quick and easy to prepare.
We will come together to cook, chop, talk, eat, laugh, meditate, dance
and do yoga.
For those who choose to stay until Sunday afternoon, there will be a
guided walk and meditation in nature.
This weekend is about transforming and healing your relationship with food.
