Our head chefs are Aline and Macha.

Assisted by wonderful teammates, they will create for you vegetarian dishes that will satisfy more than your taste buds; infused with wild, fermented foods and local and organic produce, you will also taste Eden on your plate!

You will be asked to please bring your own mats or camping mats (single-size, no large beds please!), bedding and pillows to create your own little nest. Privacy is not to be expected, however, it’s bound to be a fun and bonding experience.
The retreat center also offers : a salt indoor heated pool, sauna, SPA, fully equipped community kitchen and meditation room and inspiring library to feed your spirit.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This is an exploratory festival based on the exploration of our edges. You are invited to come having prepared clear intentions of what it is you may be hoping to gain, be made more aware of, let go of…
Setting clear boundaries with any partners, whether they be at the festival or not may help in allowing you more freedom in your explorations.
Expect to learn more about yourself and others.
Expect to be immersed into community, an instant tribe, navigating the positives and negatives that come with that.

This is a conscious, alcohol- and drug-free event.
Expect to learn more about creating safe, fun, nourishing, clear containers to hold your explorations and add to all your relationships, regardless of their form.
