GOURMET MENU - LOVINGLY & expertly prepared by Raw Food chef LOUISE PLANT
Raw Food chef LOUISE PLANT from the new Raw Food on Rye Cafe will be busy in the kitchen creating our very appetizing, delicious and most healthy raw gourmet menu as well as being available to share her passion for raw & healthy food..
The meals are gourmet, fresh, organic, seasonal and as local as we can provide and gluten and dairy free,
Have you ever experienced the nourishment, lightness and clarity of mind and sense of peace one feels from eating a raw, organic vegan diet? We can certainly vouch for how therapeutic it is for your body, mind and spirit and how great this diet can make you feel! ........
We believe this is a very important lifestyle and diet for everyone to consider adopting. There are many excellent resources regarding this and refer you to a highly recommended movie called "Forks Over Knives" which examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, and even REVERSED, by replacing the most commonly eaten diet of animal-based and processed foods - http://www.forksoverknives.com/ . It presents very comprehensive medical research.
Another favourite documentary/movie of ours about this topic is "May I Be Frank" - and you can check out a review of this on my blog.
This Retreat is an excellent opportunity to experience the difference for yourself and to use the time as a general Detox for your physical health & well-being as well as for your personal and relationship growth and transformation.
Please note the HUMMINGBIRD ECO-RETREAT has its own restaurant that serves fresh,, organic and local food including chicken, duck and fish if preferred (at your own cost)

couples yoga
It is our pleasure to include Couples Yoga with
Candida van Rood &
Rory Shaw McGinley and is designed for couples at any level of expertise.
Partner yoga is a great way to connect both physically and emotionally with your partner.
It helps to deepen and increase the stretch and impact of a yoga posture, without any pain. One partner's body weight can be used to increase the pressure of the other partner. Working together with another presence while supporting each other can help build trust and communication. Your partner serves you like a mirror, to help you with proper alignment, balance and concentration.
At the same time there is a level of playfulness, fun and laughter.
Shared touch in yoga can do wonders for your soul. The gentle touch, breathing and focused attention to each other while engaging in postures together can revitalize your spirit. The possibilities are endless.
Practising with your partner can be very intimate as it can bring you closer, deepen connection and revive LOVE. Another benefit is that your body will produce endorphins to uplift your mood as you experience the closeness.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE OUR RETREAT - TESTIMONIAL FROM STEPH & MATT
"What I got out of the workshop was like falling in love, like for the first time. Not re-capturing the spark, but it was really like I just felt much, much closer. Absolutely amazing and I realised.....I hadn't actually thought that I could be happy...that I could get what I wanted out of our relationship....,,,,,,I realised that could have only ever happened in the Workshop. It's not like we read a book and say hey let's do this. .......so I'm really grateful and I'm really excited about our future." ~ Matt, Melbourne.
