Cozy, Quiet Health Retreat
January 15-18, 2026
Lay the foundation for your healthiest year ever!
Our Retreats
Our retreats are for those who believe a plant-based lifestyle is their path toward a healthier, happier future. We provide a welcoming, safe, respectful place to learn the science behind the power of plant foods and the practical steps you can take to make this lifestyle your own. Over the course of three days, you will learn from and be inspired by healthcare professionals, food educators, and community members, all of whom live a plant-based lifestyle. Let’s not forget the incredible food! Some meals are served and others will be prepared as a group. Get ready to discover a rainbow of colors, tantalizing textures, and fabulous flavors you didn’t know existed. Experience all this in a quiet, cozy setting, off the beaten path and away from the demands of daily life in the company of a small group of new friends who share your goal of living a healthier, happier life. We look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your wellness journey.
Registration is limited to 10 people. Reserve your spot today!
