Does the idea of spending four days enjoying delicious healthy plant-based cuisine, breathing deeply, moving joyfully, meditating mindfully, relaxing totally, enjoying belly laughter fun and learning how to live freely feel like a dream? Then why not make it a reality by joining Lainie Sevante Wulkan and Lisa Brown on November 8-11 at an exclusive private venue in Cape Coral for the Nourish Your Soul Longevity Retreat. Sevante Wulkan, founder of the Center for Intuitive Food Therapy, and Brown, founder of Free Flowing Health as well as a plant-based chef and educator, are experienced health practitioners who are excited to share their combined decades in health, nutrition, yoga, meditation, sound healing, breathwork, movement, spirituality and more with retreatants in a beautiful, tropical setting. 

“I will be creating customized healing meals for longevity representing both local and global regions of the world. All ingredients will be carefully crafted with wellness in mind. Each of the eight chef curated meals will be organic, and wholefood plant-based and we will have organic snacks available each day in between meals. Each participant will receive a free downloadable plant-based recipe book so they can recreate healthy meals in their own home. Additionally, I'll be guiding mindful movement, meditation, and breathwork classes throughout the weekend and Lainie will be creating specialized smoothies and fresh juices from her best-selling cookbooks,” says Brown, a collaborator with Sevante Wulkan on High Vibrational Wellness, which will be published in July. 

Inspired by a Hippocrates quote in her youth, “The wise should consider that health is the greatest of blessings. Let food be thy medicine”, Sevante Wulkan has been a passionate and incredibly curious foodie her entire life and has studied the world of food from both a scientific and spiritual perspective for decades. Hoping to overcome her hypochondria and deepen her relationship and connection to food as a guide for healing herself and others, her explorations led to a Bachelor of Science in Food Science, Nutrition and Dietetics from California State University’s Northridge Food Science Center and eventually to co-creating the popular Food Healing Oracle Deck, Nourishing Wisdom from Mother Earth. 

“Not everyone can get away to an exotic location like Costa Rica or Greece where we have held other Nourish Your Soul Longevity retreats. Lisa and I thought we would offer women a taste of the same experience in our own tropical paradise so they can enjoy learning about all the parts of a healthy lifestyle that contribute to longevity. All of us want to live as long as we can and enjoy life with mobility, sharp minds and a lack of disease. This is why we want to share our school of thought which reflects some of the philosophy in Blue Zones as well as others that include methodologies for mind, body, spirit and soul. It’s the version that we share in High Vibrational Wellness,” says Sevante Wulkan.

Summarizing one of the most important aspects of the retreat, Sevante Wulkan and Brown comment, “Foremost is coming together as a community under one roof, supporting each other and developing a deep connection. Women need this. Relationships, which develop during the weekend are an important part of our holistic perspective on a healthy lifestyle. We want to help women, a vulnerable population, understand that there are numerous layers to nourishing the mind, body, soul and spirit. It’s never about only one aspect, which is why we're going to bring a taste of each element into the weekend retreat.”
