Who is this for?
Everyone is welcome to join this retreat, no previous experience is needed. Mahakala Center's teachers adjust different practices to all levels. This is a perfect retreat for getting in touch with your body and mind, and healing yourself from the inside out.

You will be learning about various health topics and you will receive important health tips that you can implement into your everyday life.

Nourishing cooking classes
Prepare to shift your perspective on cooking and eating. It’s not merely a task but a mindful meditation, a means to nourish yourself and those around you.

Under the guidance of Dr. Vesna Lemm, you’ll embark on a culinary journey that goes beyond taste. Discover the art of crafting delicious vegan cuisine while gaining insights into when and how to harness its potential for physical and spiritual well-being.

Let go of the notion that food is solely for sustenance, and embrace its deeper significance as the heart of community, health, and life itself. Throughout this week, you’ll acquire invaluable tools and wisdom to create cleansing vegan dishes in your everyday life. You can also add a vegan retreat cooking certificate at the end of the retreat.

Yoga and movement
One of the most powerful tools that Dr. Lemm has found is the practice of yoga. Yoga works by training the body to return back to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest state), making it the dominant state of the body, whilst moving away from the sympathetic nervous system.

Once the body learns to repeatedly come back to the resting state during the yoga practice, you’ll shortly notice that this will also start to happen outside the yoga practice.

At Mahakala, their mission is to show that yoga is for everyone, no matter how flexible you are or how much experience you have. It is not about moving your body in a complicated way, but rather about finding the union of the mind, body, and spirit.

They want to offer you a chance to rejuvenate your body and mind form everyday stressors and find your inner peace. They will be there to support you along the way, providing you with practical skills that you can continue to use once you return home.

To do this effectively, they combine traditional yoga practices with modern scientific and neuroscience based knowledge.
