For more than 10 years my research has been one of harmony, balance and physiological wellbeing. When the Earth and the Elements became my teachers, my alchemy became salvation for bodies and souls — this retreat is that teaching, shared around one table.
Opening prayer and devotional practice at the stove — becoming a channel of healing through our hands.
Foraging & herbalism — reading the land, gathering what it offers for our medicine.
Fermentation & sprouting techniques for gut healing and high-frequency food.
Building a food altar together — kitchen alchemy & design as a shared ceremony.
Cooking with water, fire, air and earth — transmutation techniques close to the Earth.
A closing long table — every dish we made, shared in one sitting.
Every day: gluten-free*, sugar-free, organic, local, seasonal, plant-based or pescatarian food — nutrient-, protein- and superfood-dense. *besides sourdough (spelt, rye, ancient Portuguese wheat).
Zoé is based in Portugal with international collaborations — this retreat happens on the land she works with daily, close enough to Lisbon, Cascais, Lagos or Porto for an easy arrival. [Exact venue — placeholder]
The Earth is abundant with medicines. All you have to do is put your hands on the ground to remember. For more than 10 years, my research has been that of harmony, balance and physiological wellbeing — high frequency food and gut healing activation, for spiritual and human elevation.
"You filled me up with love — love for food, love for my body. You inspired me! Thank you, thank you, thank you."
