What to Expect

Our mental and physical health have been challenged collectively during these turbulent times. This retreat will call on the power of community, the creative arts, and evidence-based food choices to foster connection and healing.

Discover yourself through creative experiences, and understand how your body metabolizes food.

Experiential Components

Informational Components

1-2 weeks before the retreat there will be a virtual lecture to discuss evidence-based approaches to healthy eating, glucose levels, and continuous glucose monitors. This will help you understand and compare your typical glucose patterns before and then while eating deliciously healthy food at the retreat.

The virtual lecture will also give you time to digest the information so you can discuss any further food-related questions with Dr. Barnett at the retreat.
