Curriculum
Our Intensive will take you through the core tenants of ancestral and whole-food based menus, as well as the mindset tools that we have rolled out and refined over the past 6 years.
Sunday: 3:00 pm check-in at the retreat center. We will break the ice with a reception, introductions all around, philosophy and concepts that set this program apart – and then launch several of our multi-day food preparation projects.
Monday: Classes are anchored in Topanga and feature fermenting, soaking & sprouting, raw dairy & sourdough bread. Guest instructors provide deeper knowledge of production and nutritional benefits.
Tuesday: We focus on proteins, eating nose-to-tail and incorporating the incredible nutrient density of organs into our menus. Following the afternoon bone broth session they’ll be time for a relaxing evening on the patio.
Wednesday: We take a deep dive into farmer’s markets and farmer relations. We spend time at the Santa Monica Farmers Market, learning the crucial dynamics at play for farmers and customers alike.

We then head back to a spectacular private setting in the Pacific Palisades, working with all of our beautiful fresh ingredients to prepare a market lunch while overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
