INTRODUCING Marian Cottle
Your plant-based mentor, chef, and wellness facilitator. Marian is also the proud co-owner of Old Joe’s Kaia. Her emotional roots and deep inherent love for the ground and establishment reflects throughout this retreat.
Besides Marian’s love for Old Joes’s Kaia, culinary delights are her passion, her love for food inherent from growing up on a working farm.
Using food to connect with people has played an equally important role – the socialising, the comfort and warmth of family and friendships and teaching people the magic of creating plant-based feasts.
Don’t worry about going hungry, Marian loves preparing feasts for her guests, and the delights she concurs up will certainly be impressive and surprisingly, eye-opening.
INTRODUCING BeJay Watson
Your Sound therapist, yoga practitioner and intuitive healer
BeJay has spent more than twenty years in the bush and has felt the unbelievable pure energy of nature and the effect it has on one’s body and sense of well-being.
“Over the years I have studied all the different modalities of energy, Reiki, Universal Energy, Shiatsu, Jin Shin Jytsu, which all deal with the energy that runs through our bodies.
This strong understanding of energy healing lead me straight into sound therapy and as it is now known, Vibrational Medicine.”
