Unforgettable Nature Retreat Days
Treat yourself to a week in pristine nature, where under the guidance of wild food expert Jouka and therapist Kate, you will gather edible wild plants, enjoy seasonal food prepared by in-house chef Jernej, relax and unwind. You can go hiking or pamper yourself in the sauna. The program will be conducted in English.
If you want to relax in nature, walk, create, taste, cook, and allow your nervous system to calm down, this is the Horta & Functional Medicine Retreat for you.
The hosts, Finnish Jouka and Hungarian Kate, have prepared an engaging week program of wild edible plants (horta), seasonal food, shared meals, sauna, hikes, and functional medicine experiences that connect directly to daily life and diet.
What to expect during the week:
-
Guided walks for wild plants (practical, active: no slides or theory)
-
Cooking workshops + tastings and simple ideas for preservation
-
Functional medicine talks with clear, seasonal, practical insights
-
Forest and riverside walks and two special trekking days
-
On-site herbal sauna
-
True relaxation – regeneration requires space
Food is important – very important.
All meals are locally prepared in the farm kitchen, using ingredients from the farm itself and local partners. Everything is nutritious and gluten-free. One detail we love: meals are prepared by the farm owner Jernej, a working farmer and professional chef.
The cuisine is closely linked to the season and the local area.
