Testimonials

What participants are saying…

Jim Goddard

The three day nutrition retreat was a real eye opener about what we put in our bodies and the possible ill effects so called food can have on you. The experts ranging from an organic specialist chef to a Qi Gong instructor helped focus attention on the fact your whole body needs to be respected by what you put into it. It was also great the people participating in the retreat brought new perspectives up for discussion. I would recommend anyone serious about upgrading their knowledge about nutrition check into this program and consider it for themselves.

I’m a Crohns sufferer and diet it very important for ultimate health. The weekend retreat was very informative and got me started on cooking with better products in the market. I recommend it for anyone that cares about their health.

Maria Calogeros

When I was approached by my daughter to attend the seminar with her, I was a little apprehensive at first. I am a senior with type II Diabetes. Having attended Diabetes classes at the hospital, I figured that this would be more of the same, just “generic” nutrition instruction and very unpersonal. It turned out to be just the opposite. I was pleasantly surprised at personal interest every participant was shown, the level of knowledge of the nutritionists and the skill of the guest instructors. We laughed a lot and cried a little, but in the end we all came away with a new found confidence to take better care of ourselves. I highly recommend this seminar to anyone, with or without diabetes.

Artemis Calogeros

Attending the Diabetes Retreat with my mom was a great decision. We spent a fabulous weekend learning from knowledgeable presenters about a holistic approach to managing Type II Diabetes. The nutrition sessions, participatory cooking classes, and grocery shopping “fieldtrip” were especially valuable. And I loved the option to book follow up sessions with one of the registered holistic nutritionists to keep us on track. I’d definitely recommend this retreat – it was fun, informative, and inspired me to really commit to healthy nutrition and lifestyle choices!

A journey of self-discovery awaits you!
