By Richard Slager & Onne de Kloe
Ayurveda is the oldest medicine in the world and means ‘Knowledge of life’. Unlike modern medicine, Ayurvedic drugs are not aimed at numbing the pain, but at treating the cause. Only natural products are used in Ayurveda.
During this retreat you learn basic knowledge of Ayurveda. By being aware of how your body works and what effect your living and eating patterns have you can improve your health. The program is further completed with practical workshops in which we look for fresh herbs in nature and the garden, make a different number of preparations, including tea and oils, and where we pay attention to Ayurvedic cooking.
This week’s meals come from Ayurvedic cuisine.
