On a retreat the preparation and eating of food may take on a new significance for the retreatant.

One or more meals will be prepared together, in silence, observing the textures and vitality of the produce, feeling actively present for this creative preparation.

On occasion the meal will be eaten in silence, and slowly, to capture the resonance and diverse flavours of the food for full enjoyment. It helps us to realise how much we miss from this very large part of our lives.

Honouring the source of the ingredients, and being peacefully present, enhances the digestion and energetically restores this system to become a more efficient part of us.

The above relates specifically to a structured retreat. As a residential guest food is fun, mealtimes are conversational and food is geared to your requests and dietary requirements - not that food isn't fun as a retreatant!

For weekly Retreatants, meals are inclusive.
Non Retreatant guests can have dinner by arrangement on the day of arrival.

Lunches are always a seasonal soup with organic vegetables and bread, followed by cheeses, salad and fruit.
