Health Alkemy supports community. I support, and my team supports collaboration. This Fall 2020 we are teaming up with Heartland Collective Eco Resort to create a 3-day mini retreat. The theme is "taking in and letting go," relevant to the Fall Season. Health Alkemy is leading a 21 day cleanse and October 9-11 are the first three days, spent 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. Logistics of the weekend include:
What to grow to keep themselves healthy?
Ease of growth - how to grow
Why they are relevant?
Planting a few things?
Beets
Radishes
Arugula
Dandelion
Kale
Lettuce
Carrots
Celery
