Retreat Food Recipe Book

In a world filled with regular distractions and disconnection, it's extremely important to discover moments of true nourishment - nourishment that extends past the bodily realm and reaches deep into the very core of our being. This is wherein the adventure of conscious eating begins.

Welcome to "Retreat Food". Within these pages, we embark on a transformative exploration of the relationship between food, our environment, and our internal selves. The recipes in this book, created by us (Mark and Maya), are meals loved by our retreat guests. These beautiful souls are the inspiration for creating this book. Watching them enjoy our food while developing deeper bonds with each other brings us so much joy.   

Drawing ideas from the historical understanding of yogic philosophy, ayurvedic principles and the standards of mindfulness, this book offers a holistic approach to nourishing our bodies, minds, and spirits.

At its essence, this book is a celebration of the interconnectedness of all things. It is a gentle reminder that everything we eat has the power to impact our lives personally as well as positively contributing to the planet.  As we delve into the art of conscious eating, we discover that our food choices are not merely about sustenance; they are a profound opportunity to re-align ourselves with the rhythms of nature and honour our place within the grand tapestry of existence. 

Throughout these pages, you'll find a wealth of wisdom, practical guidance, and delectable recipes that will nourish your body whilst awakening your consciousness. From understanding the energetic properties of food to cultivating mindfulness within the kitchen, we are able to explore how the simple act of eating can become a sacred practice—a gateway to self-discovery, connection, and vibrant living.
