Spice up Your Cooking

with Ayurvedic Practitioner  and Chef, Phillipa Joy (Adv Dip Ayur)

Ayurveda, an ancient holistic medicine originating from India, has a main philosophy that “food is medicine”.  Each and every food plant in its natural form has specific qualities and characteristics that can become medicine for the body.   Kitchen spices and herbs have a tremendous therapeutic power that can improve digestion, circulation, metabolism, immunity and more.  High in polyphenols – the active micronutrients – herbs and spices can have a profound, positive effect on our systems.  Prepared in the correct way they can bring quick relief to a common ailment, often more safely than western medicine as there are very few side effects.

Topics covered:

  • The 6 tastes of Ayurveda – sweet, salty, sour, pungent, bitter and astringent – and how applying this formula to spices can help select the right spices for a dish or remedy
  • Learn the therapeutic properties of common kitchen herbs and spices
  • How best to cook with ground and whole spices
  • making a vagar/tempering (practical)
  • making a ground churna/masala mix (practical)
  • How to infuse decoctions of herbs and spices for drinks (practical)
  • Recipes for remedies of common ailments

Digital Detox – This time is for you!

Switch off from the outside world

This retreat is an opportunity for a mind & body digital detox.

This means we can take a break from the constant distractions which are our phones and being available 24/7.

Tell your friends and family that you are going away for a special time to ‘switch off’ from everyday life.

When we do this, even for a short time, it can have a wonderful effect and maybe change how much we are addicted to our phones.

This is for you, to create new habits and feel safe without your phone

One of our past retreat participants told us they now try to turn off the phone 1 day a week as they enjoyed the down time of not being contactable all the time.

Please see Karli’s Digital Detox Auslan Video from previous Retreat at Mornington Peninsula Hot Springs for more info.

How many hours a day do you spend on your phone and social media?

Do you feel anxious if you leave the house without your phone?

Do you sleep with your phone next to your bed?

Do you try to capture every moment with photos and videos?

These behaviours can interfere with a healthy connection with the world and the ability to be in the moment.

If you choose to do the full, or even part of the digital detox experience, you can give your family or friends two phone numbers in case they need to get in touch with you.
Of course if there is an emergency, you will have access to your phone.

You can use your NDIS funds:
