11th – 14th November 2021
Teach Bhride, Tullow, Co. Carlow
Led by Marjó Oosterhoff and Paola Vais
This silent retreat will focus on preparing, cooking and eating joyfully and thoughtfully, and will include compassion and awareness practices.
We’ll be preparing the food together, and all dishes will be seasonal vegetarian and vegan, and can be all adapted to specific dietary requirements such as gluten and dairy free. There will also be time for plenty of rest.

This is a silent retreat, but of course there will be some talking during the cooking session – with an invitation to minimalism in communication 🙂
If you would rather like to come on the retreat but not doing the cooking, that would be totally fine too. You can use the space for your own practice, and Marjó will provide guidance.
The retreat takes place in Teach Bhride, Tullow. It is a spacious and warm centre, with a large meditation room, as well as a big catering kitchen.
Before training as a Mindfulness teacher, I have trained at the Ballymaloe Cookery School, and have been cooking for restaurants, private catering, on board Asgard II and for retreats for many years.
Marjó Oosterhoff of Passaddhi will guide the meditation sessions in sitting and walking.
We start 7 pm on 11th November with registration, and finish with lunch on 14th. It’s also possible to come on Friday evening 12th.
Cost: €200 for single regular room; €250 for single ensuite room; or €180 and €230 respectively for the weekend.
This is for food, accommodation and Paola’s and Marjó’s costs
The guidance by Paola and Marjó is on a donation basis
