OVERVIEW
PLANTSTRONG Retreat at Black Mountain is organized by PLANTSTRONG and will be held from Mar 01 - 06, 2022 at YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly, Black Mountain, North Carolina, United States of America.
Description:
This venue is uniquely positioned to provide ample space for our participants to enjoy educational lectures alongside the beauty of the mountain foliage and rushing streams. It is a majestic location for learning!
Our retreats are an immersive experience designed to give participants a powerful and in-depth understanding of both the medical and nutritional components to the benefits of whole foods, plant-based living. Steeped in evidence-based education, success stories and hands-on learning, this experience will provide the inspiration and know-how to strengthen a healthcare provider’s personal journey while setting a solid foundation for improved patient care.
The curriculum delves deeply into the psychological practices and practical applications for effectively implementing sustainable lifestyle changes, with lectures led by esteemed physicians and notable leaders in the whole food, plant-based movement.
Each day begins with choice of fitness: scaled group workouts, invigorating all-levels yoga, or exploratory hiking out in the breathtaking scenery. Afterwards, guests enjoy a delicious PLANTSTRONG breakfast while connecting with other attendees and preparing for the day ahead.
The daily lectures will feature a wide variety of thought-provoking, entertaining, and interactive presentations from our world-class team of experts. There are plenty of breaks to give you time to process and to ask questions, then we refuel during our midday lunch service.
Recharge in the afternoon with 2-3 hours of free time and select your own adventure: hiking, restorative yoga and meditation, take a walk with our licensed therapist, attend a small group discussion, catch up on emails, or take a nap!
Each evening we’ll regroup to experience a hands-on cooking demonstration where you’ll learn tips and techniques for new meals to try at home with your families or to share with your patients.
Fellowship follows at dinner and an assortment of nighttime activities.
