Our days begin with yoga, movement class or hike, a natural foods breakfast, and a hands-on cooking class under the guidance of one of our finest Chef Instructors. Classes include a complete gourmet lunch from soup to dessert as well as lecture-workshops that explore cutting edge principles of health- supportive cooking and theory. All cooking classes use whole, fresh, natural, organic, seasonal foods including grains, beans, vegetables, high quality oils and natural sweeteners. One session also includes fish. Afternoons are free to relax and explore your retreat destinations' unique offerings with the group or on your own.
