A Unique Experience
The "Treat Yourself with Ayurveda" offers a uniquely tailored experience designed for small groups of friends interested in holistic health and well-being. Unlike many Ayurvedic retreats in the UK and abroad, this program does not require participation in yoga but instead focuses on practical and accessible Ayurvedic principles that support well-being. Highlights include one-to-one Ayurvedic health consultations with Tomaz Mueller, workshops on daily rituals, and hands-on cooking sessions that empower guests to integrate Ayurveda into their everyday lives. The retreat emphasizes learning and applying Ayurveda for lasting lifestyle changes, ensuring guests leave with actionable knowledge rather than just a temporary experience.

TREAT YOURSELF WITH AYURVEDA
Underpinning our approach at Awakening Alchemy Retreat Centre is Ayurveda, an ancient system of holistic medicine, originating in India and still used by millions worldwide, including many high-profile individuals, to support healing, to find balance in life, and to achieve overall well-being. Ayurveda perceives each individual as a unique combination of energies or doshas, emphasizing a deeply personalized approach to health. Disease, in Ayurvedic philosophy, is viewed as a result of imbalance within the body, mind, or spirit, often stemming from lifestyle choices, diet, or emotional disruptions. Unlike conventional Western health systems, which often address symptoms in isolation, Ayurveda focuses on identifying and addressing root causes, restoring balance through tailored interventions. These may include diet, herbal remedies, rituals, and mindful practices that promote harmony within and with nature. This comprehensive and preventative approach empowers individuals to cultivate sustainable well-being and resilience in their daily lives.
AYURVEDIC HEALTH CONSULTATION
During your stay you will have an Ayurvedic health consultation with Tomaz. This is an in-depth and holistic assessment that delves into your unique constitution and current state of health. During the session, Tomaz will carefully examine your physical, mental, and emotional well-being through a combination of traditional diagnostic tools, including pulse reading, tongue examination, and detailed inquiries into lifestyle, diet, and habits. The goal is to identify imbalances in the doshas and uncover the root causes of any health concerns. From this analysis, a personalized plan is crafted, which may include dietary recommendations, herbal remedies, daily routines (dinacharya), and practical guidance on stress management and mindfulness practices. This tailored approach ensures that you leave with a clear, actionable roadmap to restore and maintain balance, reflecting Ayurveda’s deeply personalized philosophy of care.
COOKING WORKSHOP
The Ayurvedic cooking workshop is a hands-on experience designed to introduce guests to the principles of balance in Ayurvedic cuisine. Participants will learn how to use specific spices and herbs to support digestion and overall health, gaining insight into their unique properties and benefits. Under expert guidance, guests will prepare and cook wholesome dishes that align with Ayurvedic dietary practices. This communal cooking session not only demystifies the art of Ayurvedic cooking but also provides an opportunity to savor the fruits of your labor as you enjoy the nourishing meals together. The workshop empowers participants to bring these healing culinary practices into their daily lives, fostering long-term wellness through mindful and balanced cooking.

IT CONSULTANT
I had the pleasure of attending a retreat in September 2023, and it was a truly transformative experience! Under the expert guidance of Tomaz and Dan, I discovered so much about myself and came away feeling renewed, invigorated and refreshed. The retreat centre is a very special, magical place, with many quiet spots in the grounds for private mediation or reflection. The food was home cooked and delicious, and the rooms were clean and comfortable with the most amazing beds! I can't wait to come back again next year.
