Food

Food is our sacred language which we will communicate. Each cell of our body is made from the fuel we put inside. That is why the food we eat is one of the main pillars for our health. Being in service, composing and creating food medicine is one of our sacred languages with the world. Through food, we will guide you to awaken all of your senses and connect with the natural intelligence of your body. By alchemizing all elements, with spices, herbs, fresh organic veggies and fruits, we will nourish you through meals, where every meal is a piece of art, a banquet of beauty and abundance.

We serve a nourishing vegan and gluten-free menu. Our creations follow the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda and Macrobiotic principles. Every meal is a harmonious blend of the freshest local and seasonal ingredients, with an option of soft boiled eggs, and homemade sourdough bread. ​We love to bring a higher taste to the foods, by incorporating knowledge of herbalism, foraged wild foods and the enchanting beauty of edible flowers to nourish the body on different levels. With each bite, you’ll experience not just a meal but a piece of Poetry for the soul and Medicine for the body. Our intention is to connect people and plants through culinary magic, using local and seasonal products. Being attuned with the current season and cycle we create meals in an intentional and intuitive way.

"Carole definitely over-delivered and lead this retreat from a place of experience and compassion. She is wise beyond her years and I always feel fully supported in her presence. Carole’s extensive training, knowledge and life experiences shine through in everything she teaches. Carole is a beautiful soul both inside and out and I don’t believe this retreat would have been as meaningful for me if it weren’t for her. I plan on implementing many of the practices she taught us and am excited to see where the next chapter of my life takes me."

- Cindy Boes, North Carolina

Carole made me feel very relax and comfortable while abroad in Costa Rica and I feel that is important when deciding to commit to an international retreat. When you're ready to finally make and take the time for your own personal enrichment, you love yoga, and you want to have someone guide you through your journey, go with the team and Carole Frey! You won’t regret it!
