At our Olive Retreats, I often say; “You don’t need to be part of the culture you live in, think, and do what feels right”. To become vegan was a decision I made as a mother too. I never forced my family to stop eating meat but they had to “order” it, write it up on the shopping list for me to buy it and later cook it. When my children could cook themselves around 8-9 years of age, I told them to make their own food if it wasn’t vegan. The laziness made them vegan or vegetarian too. Now they are vegan by choice, by thought, by economy, by seeing the obvious and not wanting to take part of the absurd. It comes totally natural to them. They are never tired nor feel sluggish after a meal and they don’t understand how others would want to be. They listen to their bodies, and help them.
The little you need to know about protein and nutrients is so easy. The Internet generation has information at their fingertips. They question and find out by themselves. I love it, I love them! The other day I met some beautiful vegetarian teenagers at a vegan dinner meeting. They had made up their mind to not support the killing and become healthier by their own learning and choice. It’s the generation of clever, pragmatic, kind and conscious consumers. I just hope they keep their convictions when they get jobs at the multinational corporations!
The day my youngest daughter, then 16 years, said while snuggling the muzzle of a cow, that she didn’t understand the difference in eating that cow or our dog, I understood that she got it. She said; “If you can’t kill and eat your dog, why would you kill and eat this cow?”

O•live Retreat demystifies health and in the process it stands clear that health is far from drugs or injections made from petrochemicals.
First we make sure you know yourself, your body and what healthy means to you. Then we continue to a good cleanse on all levels, Body·Mind·Soul.
With over 15 years in this business and, as Conde Nast Travel and some others put it "top-ranked" health retreat, we base our work on own O• method, derived from a multitude of methods, both old as Ayurveda and new as Orthomolecular Medicine. You'll get healthier in all areas of life (as we don't think one can leave health at home while going to work and we can't say we are healthy if we destroy our bodies over the weekend or vice versa). One is either healthy or not, and what that means can only be defined by each and one and if that is to indulge in the unhealthy stuff it's because it's really worth it for the only judge - you.
The key training for professionals (individuals and groups) is focused on enhanced productivity through self-inspiration and self-care. As a high equity manager in the finance sector put it - it's all about staying highly inspired. We couldn't agree more and we know how that biochemistry looks like.
Independent studies find that 96% of our guests become more healthy and stay healthy after 6 months, 82% stay healthy after a year. This is a better rate than anyone other treatment or training, as far as we know. Our teachings are based on modern science, and ancient evidence based techniques, and a lot of personal experience with trial and error, in the field of being a healthy human. and healing.
We start all training with a health assessment and by asking what healthy means to each one? How you define it is what counts, but one thing is similar for all no matter what you learnt - a natural, anti-inflammatory lifestyle is everything we need (without drugs) but many things our society finds "normal" cause inflammation and therefore diseases.

For those who are healthy and ready to take their own health out to the world, do more for others and the Earth or have a story to tell we offer Kindfullness projects, support, editing, writing, marketing, translation and publishing.(www.hardonkarma.com)
