Residential Courses
We offer a range of short courses from 1 to 5 days long on healthy cooking and natural approaches to healing using macrobiotics and oriental healing.
Our current short courses include the in-depth 5-day Looking After Your Health course, which runs several times a year. This course will give you a deeper understanding of your health and life using Oriental medicine, together with learning over 60 recipes in 9 cooking classes to set you up on a new healthier path in life. We also offer a variety of shorter cooking classes including our Plant Based Cooking Weekend.
If you want to stay onsite during a course the school has its own accommodation in the 18th century farmhouse. If attending a course at the school is difficult, take a look at our online course programme below. These are all live classes using video conferencing so you can see everyone in the class, ask the teacher questions, and interact with the other students.
