Indulge in a wonderful weekend with a difference

“Imagine lounging in a comfy chair, listening to the birds, overlooking a gorgeous garden reflecting on a meaningful morning of restorative yoga and peaceful meditation. Belly full from the most delicious organic breakfast & a smile on your face knowing that this is the beginning of the most beautiful weekend. Starting with a decadent Cacao extravaganza, followed by an inspiring walk around Christchurch with a local hero as your guide, ending with a night of talking and enjoying the most fabulous plant based food.”

Then wake up and do it all again the next day!

“After your delightful meditation, yoga and breakfast routine learn how to make your own vegan cheeses & then how to create coconut yoghurt and nut milks at home. Enjoy more incredible plant based food, shared around a table with like minded people. And to end it all a reflective talk on mindfulness and how to achieve in our busy world. Make new friends and reconnect with old ones on this unique weekend getaway.”

Join us and make this your reality!
