More Information about YOUR Retreat

Congratulations on taking the first step towards bending your brain into brilliance. Over the weekend, we will teach you the principles of what we like to call Brain Yoga.

We are very excited to share our knowledge of all the beautiful methods of enhancing your cognitive function. Each of the lessons are comprised of the following sections:

1. Handcrafted tea, tonic or smoothie recipe created with brain supporting herbs

2. Brain self-challenge - no comparisons as this is your own journey

3. Set of mindfulness exercises

4. Pranayama/breathing techniques

Upon completion, you will have learned how your brain works, yogic breathing techniques, as well as useful information about how gratitude, mantras, mudras, ritual, chakra cleansing and meditation all have the power to unlock your brain's highest potential.

Imagine your days without the following incidents.

• Forgetting where you parked the car.
• Waking up feeling exhausted.
• Forgetting what you were looking for when you walk into a room.
• Having to drink a bottle of wine to go to sleep.
• Unable to express yourself with a word that slips your mind.
• Being frustrated with colleagues, friends and/or family.

We are confident that by making a few adjustments in your daily routine you will wake-up feeling rejuvenated, experience enhanced mental clarity and move through your days with a renewed sense of calmness. So, what is it you are waiting for, register for this event before you forget :-)

Food

Our Food for your Soul meals on this retreat are sattvic - meaning it brings peace and enhances the wellbeing of the body, mind and spirit. Your meals will be colourful, beautiful in flavour with aesthetic appeal and plentiful. We believe food should be sustainable, pure and real - supporting and nourishing your body and mind to cleanse and heal.

We will make every effort to accommodate food allergies (i.e. gluten, vegetarian etc), however we will do the best can to cater for your needs.

For safety reasons we are unable to accept guests who have a fatal allergy to any foods. We are not equipped to serve separate meals and as the closest hospital is 2 hours away we prefer not to put anyone at risk.
