Event Collection
Meet Us
Milena Roux (@twistedherbal)
I am a herbalist and teacher crazy about the magic of plants. I grow culinary and medicinal herbs at my small farm in Skævinge Nordsjælland and make everything herbal for family and herb lovers at markets.
I was as a research scientist in plant molecular biology before shifting focus onto medicinal plants and studying herbal medicine. In addition to facilitating workshops, retreats and private online 1:1 consultancy sessions about herbal medicine, I also teach biology to lab technician students.
I am very enthusiastic about empowering people to heal themselves through herbal medicine and look forward to sharing a cosy time with you.
Sophia Nagel - @Sofia.Citron 🍋
I am a plantbased Chef, researcher and fairy human. I love to cook & bake, to eat, and I love to play.
The art of cooking and sharing nourishing food with friends, family and strangers is a love language that dances through my mind daily. Inspired by my family and studies in Integrated Food Studies, I see cooking as a form of cultural activism - to reconnect people to nature and create a healthy colourful and caring food culture.
My passion lies in exploring how people coexist with nature, using its bounty for both food and medicine.
For this retreat, I am excited to share a fusion of spring and summer flavours with you: creamy herbal pesto veggies, lingering breakfast spreads, fluffy foccacia, fingers sticky with chocolate, etc. all shared around the table.
Start the Day with Yoga
I'm Mai, a yoga instructor who believes in the connection of caring for nature and personal well-being. With my background in engeneering focusing on sustainable agriculture, I am certain the principles we practice on the mat to nurture ourselve we can apply outside the mat to care for nature.
My teaching style is dynamic and warm, infused with elements of dance. Yoga has become my ritual, helping me reconnect with my body, find inner strength, and foster dreams.
In our morning classes, we'll explore the harmony between our inner and outer landscapes.
Mindful Dining
Enjoy a Mindful Dining Event guided by yoga and meditation teacher Bella (@yogabybella), who will introduce you to the power of meditation and presence while eating. We'll explore where the food on our plates comes from and how it made its beautiful journey into our bellies.
