Join yoga teacher Marianne Wiid, together with her daughter Anya and her friend Maria at a Nourish Retreat from Friday 30 April to Monday 3 May 2021 at De Hoop Collection’s Melkkamer in the pristine De Hoop Nature Reserve.
The Nourish Retreat offers an enriching and life-affirming yoga and nutritional experience. A retreat where you can get back to basics and truly get away from it all – where you can connect with nature, deepen your yoga experience, soothe your soul, soak up rejuvenating energies, quieten your mind and make time for your inner-self.
Marianne Wiid is a qualified Iyengar Yoga teacher, a qualified reflexologist, a wine connoisseur and an avid traveler. For her yoga is a continuous journey of learnings and surprises, and she satisfies her curious spirit by doing yoga all over the world, immersing herself in local cultures and cuisines. Her passion for yoga and the ‘bringing of joy to others’ lets her compassionately guide her students towards fulfilling a vision of a joyous and peaceful life. Marianne will conduct two yoga sessions each day.
Marianne’s daughter Anya Tiepelt is an English and History high school teacher who cannot keep herself out of the kitchen. Her passion for food is contagious and has led her into a world of fermentation. She loves making the Kimchi as it is a wonderful way to learn the art of fermentation. This Korean cuisine staple – a traditional side dish of salted and fermented vegetables – is packed with beneficial micro-organisms and probiotics and scores highly on the nutritional scorecard. Anje will conduct a hands-on Kimchi workshop.
Anja’s friend Maria van Zyl, the owner of her own artisanal butter and dairy business Cream of the Crop in Cape Town, learnt the fascinating art of butter and cheesemaking in the Italian Alps in the summer after the completion of her studies at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Northern Italy. Maria will conduct a Cultured Butter-making workshop.
