Food Experience Retreats

Cookery Workshops | Mindful Eating | Wellbeing

From spring 2017 to winter 2018, I ran regular Food Experience Retreats at the beautiful Cliffs of Moher Retreat in county Clare. The intention of these retreats was to give guests a holistic appreciation of food – taking them from the garden, to the kitchen to the dining table. With slowing down and connecting back to nature, food and ourselves being the central focus of the retreat. 

The retreats included: 

– Practical hands-on cookery demonstrations

– The establishment of a simple recipe repertoire to take home

– Tips on developing your whole food pantry for ease of cooking at home

– Design guidelines on creating a calm cooking and eating environment

– A guided eating meditation that can be practiced at home

- Foraging Walks to gather nature’s seasonal abundance in local hedgerows and along the seashore to be used as medicine in our cooking

– Embodied relaxation sessions
