This Raw Food Preparation Intensive is a four night / three full day retreat, where you will learn kitchen skills and preparation techniques for creating fantastic, gourmet raw and whole food recipes.

The Venue:
If you go to a health retreat in Byron Bay, chances are it is being held at Tallow Beach Houses – and this is where we will be staying for the food preparation intensive. Set in a private 30 acre nature sanctuary, Tallows enjoys 630m of amazing beachfront, with cycling tracks, sauna, and that refreshing dip in the ocean only steps away!
Accommodation will be triple share in cottages with two bedrooms and one share bathroom. One room is set up as a twin share, and the other room is a queen – it will be first in-best dressed for bed allocation, and we aim to match the guests with those of similar age and interests! The cottages have large outdoor decks, some overlooking a lake and all with the soothing sounds of the surf to fall to sleep by. Tallows enjoys one of the most relaxed atmosphere’s of any of our retreats, being situated in the most beautiful natural setting.
