Plant-based Cooking & Wellbeing Weekend

Friday 6th - Monday 9th September 2024

Kickstart your wellbeing

I’m so excited to invite you to join us for the next Mindful Kitchen Cooking & Wellbeing Retreat - 3 nights in the vibrant market town of Hebden Bridge, with beautiful nature on the doorstep.

After catering for yoga, wellbeing and personal development retreats with some of the UK’s leading facilitators, I’ve discovered that so many of you are as excited as I am about healthy, plant-based food and seasonal eating, but seeking the tools and inspiration to implement this way of eating into your life.

I really want to share with you some of what I have learnt on my own food journey in an immersive and holistic way. From practical cooking skills to nurturing meditation practices, this is an opportunity to re-set and replenish after the busy summer season, to reconnect with nature, and learn how to support your health and wellbeing throughout the season.

There are a maximum of 6 places available. With such a small number, we’ll have a wonderful chance to get to know each other and bring a more personalised approach to your experience.

What to expect…

  • Learn plant-based basics to enhance your health and inspire your creativity in the kitchen. Workshops include nut milks, butters, creams & cheeses, an introduction to Ayurvedic cooking, autumnal salad bowls & tasty dressings, plus wholesome sweet treats!

  • Enjoy grounding, delicious seasonal meals made with locally sourced organic ingredients, including a 3-course celebratory dinner on our final night together

  • Connect and learn from in-depth time with Bex from The Mindful Kitchen and in community with others on their cooking and wellbeing journey

  • Relax & restore with a guided sound experience to support a peaceful sleep

  • Enjoy daily mindful walks and immersive experiences in nature, with access to woodland walks and waterfalls from the doorstep

  • Cultivate a feeling of peace and calm at House of Josef - your luxurious and comfortable accommodation just minutes away from central Hebden Bridge

  • Learn more about your own unique body and personality type, and feel empowered on your own personal wellbeing journey. Learn new daily rituals, take away new recipes as well as self-care tips to help you to continue your journey at home

Accommodation

If you choose to the fully inclusive package you’ll be staying at Wood End View with House of Josef - one of Hebden Bridge’s famous quirky top-and-bottom houses! The house is a few minutes’ walk from Hebden Bridge’s vibrant town centre known for its outdoor market, galleries and independent boutiques. It is tastefully decorated and offers stunning views of the town and valleys, the ideal place for relaxation and rejuvenation. You’ll find nature right around the corner, with Nutclough Woods and the historic Hardcastle Craggs both within walking distance.
