Rawfood Retreat

In the Alpujarras mountains, near Pórtugos, 20km east of Órgiva, southern Spain

11 people participated, therein 3 children. We did beautiful trips, which even the children (5/7/8 years) enjoyed. The group was growing together, and some nice connections were the result. The area had an abundance of mulberries, which we enjoyed a lot.

We didn't do a vision circle. So we'll discuss the next Rawfood Retreat in a WhatsApp group. My suggestions:

* We'll give to the registered people a meeting point (for example a bus station) and walk together to the retreat place (which the people don't know in advance), to make the registrations more bindingly and to get a group being together from the beginning possibly to the end.

* Especially in the first days I felt a lack of common activities. We'll announce next time from the beginning common trips, workshops and talking circles.

* There was a lack of wild plants in the food circles. That we should organise better next time. I find them important in a raw food diet.

* The retreat place should be clear in advance, so that we don't need to scout in the beginning of the retreat. For that 3 of us did already after the retreat a scouting walk of 3 days and found some beautiful places. And in the third night, Aim'jie and I fell in love.
