“Food to a large extent is what holds a society together and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.”

Food is an intimate aspect of any human endeavor. We literally become what we eat physically and energetically. At Siddha Healings we make every effort possible to weave our goals and values of health, mindfulness, and ecological awareness into our meal planning and preparation. Siddha Healings will provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner most days. As much as possible, we focus on local, organic, and whole foods in our menus. Meals will be prepared by Siddha Healings staff, focusing on the practice of mindfulness and service in the process. You are welcome to bring your own snacks, but there will be plenty of food and snacks available throughout the course. Please contact us well in advance of the course with any dietary restrictions, allergies, or specific needs. Our staff is able to accommodate most special requests with advance notice.
