Quirky Cooking Retreat, Treetops Sanctuary, FNQ

The retreat will feature home-cooked meals using traditional, nourishing, whole-food ingredients – recipes developed with local ingredients (mostly biodynamic and organic), designed to reduce inflammation, optimise gut health, rebalance the microbiome, and revitalise your health.

Guests can watch meals being cooked and join in the preparation, learning by ‘doing’, alongside gut-healthy cooking expert, Jo Whitton. Jo has extensive experience with cooking for the GAPS Nutritional Protocol for her own family, and is the author of the gut-healing cookbook Simple, Healing Food (as well as two other popular whole-food cookbooks).

This is the perfect opportunity to introduce your other half (or a sibling or friend!) to ‘food as medicine’. Learn about stress-reducing lifestyle changes in a peaceful setting, cook with Jo, enjoy amazing food, spend time in nature amidst gorgeous scenery and visit local producers such as Wild Vanilla and Mungalli Creek Dairy plus Rusty’s Markets in Cairns.

Take some time out from your busy life for this unforgettable five-day retreat and enjoy a calming, nourishing, ‘nervous system reset’. You will return home re-energised, refreshed, and better equipped for your journey to good health!
