Retreats, eats, and treats

The Ahaa retreats feature a yummy vegetarian cuisine made by retreat hosts. The day started with grounding into Mother Earth with feet and breath. Retreating gives one the space to contemplate joyful moments each day that we often miss in a busy scheduled life. Breath is an exchange of particles with everything the environment. At Serenity Farm trees await the breath you bring and humans glow in the fresh air the country provides. It’s a nice symbiotic way of getting to know a broader spectrum of life. And good food makes it even better.
