That Vegan Chef Cooking Retreat
A 4 night residential cooking retreat with That Vegan Chef (me!)
I will be holding a four night residential cooking retreat here at HeartSpace House 4-8th August 2025! You will learn HANDS ON how I make my most requested recipes including:
• Dal and accompaniments - chutneys, tofu paneer skewers, naan, pilau rice, pakora
• Sweet treats - brownies, raw chocolate tarts, bliss balls and more!
• Breakfast staples - granola, pancakes, scrambled tofu and a selection of compotes
• Japanese small plates - sushi, gyoza, miso, agedashi tofu and more!
• BBQ favourites - handmade burgers, skewers, salads and dips
• AND MUCH MORE!
All recipes from the retreat will be in a printed book for you to take home along with spice mixes that we will have made together and lots of fun memories!
I will teach you how to cook intuitively, tasting as you go and learning about the different roles that foods and flavours play in a dish so you can understand where you may need a little more or less of something. I also will put a focus on how to easily add more nutrients and protein to dishes without even noticing!
We will learn in the beautiful kitchen I have designed and eat our creations together in our cosy dining room or al fresco in the garden 🌳 I have designed a delicious picnic menu for us to make and then take to the beautiful local Lac de Saint Pardoux for lunch and a walk around the lake in the sun (weather permitting!).
There are 5 en suite bedrooms available - you have the choice of securing single occupancy for a slightly higher fee or having the possibility of sharing with a maximum of one other guest.
As well as hands on cooking classes Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, there will be optional morning yoga classes and evening sound baths available and included in the price of your stay to add to your relaxing holiday! You can also book a massage to really add to your trip (at an additional cost, I can book this for you!) 💕

•All meals and non alcoholic drinks

Rest, Restore and Re-energise
We will be welcoming Jade back for her second retreat with us in the height of Summer 2026!
This immersive retreat is for anyone longing to connect, break free and experience the bliss and joy of re-setting ourselves. As we shift into summer and welcome the Sun's restorative energy, these 4 days will allow you the time and space to ground, tune in and access your own unique inner power.
The light and airy on site yoga barn and outdoor decking will be the perfect spots to tune in with the AIR element through breath work & nature as we enjoy some mindfulness sessions.
In the evening, the wood fired, natural water hot tub is ideal for relaxing and enjoying some peaceful night-time stargazing.
This retreat will be an opportunity to unwind, connect and ground your energy; shifting into a more restorative vibration and harnessing the elements to support us to re-balance and leave feeling energised.
Just outside Rancon in the Haute-Vienne, 15 minutes from the beautiful Lac de Saint Pardoux (where we will go for picnic lunches and cleanse our energies with the element of WATER; swimming in the natural lake), a lovely, newly renovated and refurbished farmhouse will become our home as we escape into wellness together.
The standing stone circle is one of my favourite features of the farmhouse; under each stone is a buried element or sacred object placed by a Reiki master - here, in the evenings, we will harness the FIRE energy in cacao ceremonies, reflection circles and sound healing sessions.
To fuel us and help our mind, body and souls to come into balance, the beautiful Gemma, owner of @thatveganchef will be offering us a variety of joyful & delicious, healing food and drinks; tapping into the ancient Ayurvedic way of living in balance to bring us optimal health.
Mindful practices, grounding walks, nourishing foods, crystal connection & specialist holistic workshops, open water swimming, opening breath-work & ancient sound baths will allow you to heal on all levels, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.

Rest & Reset Half Day Retreat
The day will start with an invigorating yoga class with Kate, moving your body and breathing deeply to loosen any stagnant energy from sitting around watching too many Christmas films!
Followed by a tasty two course lunch with hot drinks and sweet treats - all plant based and refined sugar free. We will share in a heart-opening cacao ceremony and then (weather dependent!!) will have an intention setting ceremony around the fire pit, casting our goals and dreams for the new year into the ether.
