COOKING IN PROVENCE
1-6 May 2025
Join us for five unforgettable days in the heart of Provence, nestled within a secluded vineyard, where you’ll savor the vibrant essence of Mediterranean life. Bask in the warmth of Provence as you learn to cook nourishing meals inspired by the Blue Zone diet, taking time to rest, be nurtured, and renew both body and soul.
Imagine waking up in a charming farmhouse in Provence, a distant scent of lavender, and the promise of a nourishing day ahead. For five inspiring days, your journey will be one of self-care, joyful cooking, and connection.
Begin each morning with grounding meditation and breathwork, setting the stage for a day focused on the art of nourishing both body and soul. This retreat is crafted to deepen your relationship with food and with yourself, all while soaking in the rich Mediterranean lifestyle. Under my guidance—a chef to a world-class athlete who understands the power of nutrition for performance, focus, and clarity—you’ll learn to cook vibrant, health-boosting meals inspired by the Blue Zone diet.
Together, we’ll source ingredients from local markets and farms, turning them into meals that fuel and delight. As each day unfolds, you’ll enjoy laughter-filled, meals that bring like minded people together around the table. There’s a beautiful balance here—moments of rest, nourishment, and celebration that reflect the joy of cooking and living well.
By the end of each day, after time spent exploring, learning, and sharing, you’ll retreat to your bed with a sense of fulfillment, ready for a restful night’s sleep.
Embrace this opportunity to reset, connect, and return home with a fresh perspective on nourishment, cooking, and the beautiful simplicity of Mediterranean living.
Don’t Wait to Nourish Yourself…..
We often put our health on hold, thinking there will be a “perfect” time to focus on ourselves. But true well-being can’t wait.
When we make nourishing our bodies a priority, we lay the foundation for a life of balance, energy, and joy.
What would it feel like to fuel your body with vibrant, nutritious meals, to reconnect with the joy of cooking, and to breathe deeply in the tranquility of Provence?
This retreat is more than a getaway—it’s a chance to immerse yourself in the art of true nourishment. Guided by a chef and nutrition expert, you’ll learn to cook with purpose, infusing every meal with ingredients that support your health and happiness.
So high achievers, caretakers, and visionaries: now is the time to choose nourishment over burnout, connection over isolation, and balance over stress. This retreat is your opportunity to reset, rejuvenate, and discover the beauty of a life that’s deeply, authentically nourished.
Embrace it—you deserve this gift.
