Ganesh Retreats Quotes from Guests

here are a few reviews from our guests on past retreats to inspire you to come on the next one! 



“I really did love my few days in the peace and harmony of your house party and often find myself willing that I could be there for a few hours respite and focus again.”

“Thanks a lot for organising it, I truly enjoyed it (munching on carrots as we speak and no diet coke so far!). The place was simply gorgeous, I felt really relaxed this morning and it was a lovely pleasure to meet you all and share the time there.”

“Every aspect of it has had a beneficial effect on me and I am relishing being able to use the breathing techniques of yoga to monitor my daily stress level and keep my energy flow more constant. It is quite extraordinary how that combined with the delicious and highly nutritious meals you so graciously prepared for us and the unleashing of the energy channels seem to have given me a ‘new lease of life’. I feel calmer and more focused. The NLP session was extremely helpful too and, once I’ve put into action, all that I vowed to do by the end of a month, I suspect I’ll be visiting Freddie again. I am also recommending him.

You really have a great gift in being able to create such a powerful event within such a short space of time. I know each one of us came away much richer for it. You’d made the house feel so comfortable and welcoming and the flower arrangements, candles and cosy fireplaces just made it. I suppose we were blessed to have that sunlight pouring though the windows too. The food was simply delicious and one could almost see it jumping off the plate with vitality. I’m off to by spirulina and wheat grass this weekend to green smoothies here we come!”

Cold Busting Green Smoothie

Everyone I talk to at the moment is full of cold so thought I would remind you all about Green Smoothies and how amazing they are for your health!  The wonderful thing about Green smoothies is that they only take 5 minutes to make in the morning and they give your body the nutrients that it so craves!  Putting raw leafy green leaves into your daily smoothie gives you one of natures finest nutrients, chlorophyll which we tend to lack in our daily food intake.  Chlorophyll is a blood and body cleanser, enhances energy, builds the blood, has anti-inflammatory properties, helps stabilize blood sugar levels helping with weight loss and cravings!  Its amazing so start blending...


Here is a anti-oxidant smoothie for you to try out to help boost your immune system to support you during these cold months.


The Immune Booster
1 cup of raw spinach leaves
1/2 cup of blueberries (frozen is fine)
1 banana
A handful of goji berries
1 cup of water


* For extra power try adding some green powder I love the Vitarmineral one
* To make it creamy add half an avocado (delicious!)
* To make it a superfood treat or to get kids to love it add some raw cacao powder & add some agave syrup!


Then just blend, drink and reap the benefits!  Enjoy!
