The Retreat is led by an expert in the field with over three decades of teaching and research in the area, and is author of three books and published multimedia projects in the field. This retreat will suit anyone with diet related concerns who have tried all kinds of dieting in the past to no avail. It is also for those simply wishing to shed a few pounds or more for summer. More seriously, it is for anyone at any age, with health concerns owing to a lack of knowledge concerning the aliments and food-groups required to boost and support enhanced nutrition and so health and wellbeing. It is also a superb retreat for those wishing to gain optimum results through sounder nutrition and health because of their diabetes, weight concerns, obesity, or simply for more vibrant and robust health and wellbeing.
The retreat looks at the kinds of fruits and vegetables we should be consuming and what their specific benefits include in the diet. It looks at nutrition and micro-nutrients in a way that is highly comprehensible, with ample materials to take away with you to sustain what you have learned. It looks at the contemporary vogue for juicing and suggests the most sound juices for various approaches to health and its preservation. There will be multiple tasting events throughout the day. The majority supplied by the UK’s premier raw cold pressed juice company; ‘Juice Warrior, based in Glasgow.’ We will also demonstrate how you can create your own juices and to a lesser extent, smoothies, and which juices you should avoid in the shops. We will discuss juicing for weight-loss and also flavoured waters. We will also introduce you to an entire new range of beverages for health. The retreat looks at the latest in fasting, diet and much more.
Your accommodation, and all meals, various tasting sessions and all beverages and materials are included in the price.
The venue for the retreat is Schoenstatt Scotland, a 17acre private estate, nestled in the Campsie Fells, Glasgow. It is a haven of peace and absolute tranquility and is termed ‘a spa for the soul’. There will be plenty of time for wandering around this truly expansive venue, with its own wooded area, several small bridges over water and wide-open views of the Fells; this is partly why the retreat is residential, to offer you the facility to relax.
The retreat involves learning about stress-reduction as part of the programme together with an introduction to meditation, and music meditation. There is also a delightful ‘power-nap’, a wonderful deep relaxation with a musical backdrop. Part of the programme comprises relaxation in all its forms and there will be a sizeable hand-out to take away with you based in this area. We will also look at aromachology in both stress reduction and relaxation based on natural wellness and organic essential oils.
The price of the retreat is £80 per person.
