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 5 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, raw dairy and grains. 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 visit to the beach and 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. This will change your mindset around sourcing locally and regionally. 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.
Thursday: We spend our final day meeting with national and regional food partners that will be crucial to sustaining your pathway to solid health through food. These final class segments brings concrete evidence around the health benefits associated with our program. This IS the future of health! Finally, on Thursday night – we close out with a graduation ceremony and celebrate.
