Invitation: Mulberry Retreat
Aug 2024
Every year at the end of August, we spend some days in the Alpujarras. We sleep on a remote, unused piece of land next to a river. We eat exclusively raw food, there are many ripe mulberries, figs other fruits and almonds on the trees. And we love them so much! At the same time, we like to get in touch with people who like the simple, natural lifestyle, to feel at home outdoors in nature. We will make day hikes in the beautiful surroundings. In a workshop, we will produce lacto fermented vegetables - a method to conserve vegetables for several months, without heating, just by fermenting!
We prepared eggplants and pumkins for lactofermentation on the retreat of 2023, and stored them there in the rocks. We'll eat them on the
Mulberry Retreat
August 2024
Aug 2024 ★ Every year at the end of August, we spend some days in the Alpujarras, as there are many ripe mulberries, figs and other fruits on the trees. And we love them so much! At the same time, we like to get in touch with people who like the simple, natural lifestyle, to feel at home outdoors in nature. We will make day hikes in the beautiful surroundings.
In a workshop, we will produce lacto fermented vegetables - a method to conserve vegetables for several months, without heating, just by fermenting! If you have some knowledge to share, you're welcome to do it. And we will make music and sing. If you want to participate, we prefer you participate the complete week.
And if you have even more time: After the Retreat, we plan to make a Walkabout and to hike to the Mulhacén. That's the highest mountain of Spain mainland, 3,480m high - and not far from the retreat! We can reach the peak easily in a few days. We will decide in the beginning of the Walkabout, if we go back the same route or another way. But let's talk here more about the Retreat:
Physical requirement
To get to the Retreat, we need to walk about 2km. Also for our day hikes a little fitness is required.
Things to bring
Not too much! What we need is proper protection from sun and rain, a sleeping bag (temperature rating minimum +14 Degree Celsius at night) and an isolation mat, a sun hat, a bit fitness, a water bottle, love and peace.
Please don't bring animal products, nor bought flakes (they're heated), bread, cakes, other heated food, tobacco, drugs and no devices for music. We make the music by our own!
Rain protection
Rain is unlikely but possible. To have a common dry place, we'll build up a big tarp. You are welcome to sleep under it. If you want a private space, you can bring a tent or a tarp.
