Nourish & Flourish: A Vegan Cooking and Wellness Retreat 

“Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.”
– Harriet Van Horne

 

Cooking should never be a chore, but an expression of love. In-between some beautiful yoga, meditation, hike, saunas and icebaths, we will help bring out the amazing cook in all of you. 

​

This retreat is for all the plant-based foodies out there looking for step-by-step directions on how to make delicious meat-, dairy-, and egg-free recipes, while keeping up with your yoga practice and relaxing in the most beautiful part of the country.

Learn about the best plant combinations, substituting non-vegan ingredients, vegan shopping, nutrition, how to avoid common mistakes, impressing non-vegans, and much more.

​

We also delve into the ethics of meat, sustainability, and how to answer all the vegan questions that get thrown at us.
