7 days Yoga, Ayurveda and herbal workshops in France

7 day retreat in a peaceful, inspiring environment.
A variety of workshops with herbs that we find, identify and collect on a French estate in the middle of nature. Learn how to work with these herbs by drying them, composing tea, making massage oil with them, making rose water and using them in cooking. Experience how you can also use Indian herbs and spices for flavour and to promote your health.
Learn about the Ayurvedic system and it’s perception on the use of herbs as medicine.

Centre Lothlorien is a special place on a very versatile site. Because of the presence of different soil types, wet spots, dry spots, sun, shade, forest, agriculture and differences in altitude, there is a staggering variety of herbs growing on the property, in the garden and in the surroundings.
Herbs possess culinary and medical properties. During the course, we will explore the herbs, learn about their properties and how you can practically do something with them at home in a simple way.

The knowledge about herbs is based on local herbal medicine or phytotherapy. In the course content, we also bridge the Indian lore of Yoga and Ayurveda.
Ayurveda is the oldest medicine of the world and means ‘Knowledge of Life’. Ayurveda is a medicine that treats the cause of complaints and disease rather than the symptoms. In Ayurveda, only natural products are used.

The retreat is intended to promote a healthy lifestyle. Before starting the herbal workshops in the morning, you can participate to Yoga Asana’s.
