FOOD 101 Wellness Retreat is a 5-day, 4-night experience to get away from the stresses, responsibilities and mad rush of daily life and let the mind quiet down from its daily routine. Here you’ll learn about the transformative food-body connection, the value of movement and positive attitude. The FOOD 101 Wellness Retreat not only provides a much-needed safe space in our busy lives, to finally slow down, to relax and be with ourselves but allows you to experience the healthy practices that will make a difference in your life.

“Remember, it’s not about perfection, deprivation and following someone else’s rules. It’s about slow progress to discover the delicious foods, flavours, aromas and feelings of nutritious foods you’ve denied yourself up until now.” Lynn Ogryzlo
I thought I ate quite healthily until I chatted to Lynn for the first time. As easy to chat to as a good friend, Lynn and I went through daily choices, tweaking here and there until I had a new plan to work on. As I have many food allergies and intolerances, I was apprehensive about how Lynn would deal with them, but she accepted them as a challenge quite cheerfully. Working with Lynn has been a very positive, beneficial experience and one I look forward to continuing. – Melody Wren
