Health Alkemy supports community. I support, and my team supports collaboration. This Fall 2020 we teamed up with Heartland Collective Eco Resort to create a 3-day mini retreat. The theme was "taking in and letting go," relevant to the Fall Season. Health Alkemy is led a 21 day cleanse October 2020, spent the three days in the lovely wilderness of Heartland. The purpose of this retreat is to offer community support, good food made with support, some learning about seasonal eating, about nutrition and the land/soil, and how our bodies reflect Nature in so many ways.
We are offering another round this year, Summer 2021 end of June, TBD working on a date.
