Come with an appetite—for nourishing food, fresh air, and a renewed sense of joy around eating.
Over two nights and three days, you are invited to slow down, listen in, and celebrate the rich relationship between food, nature, and wellbeing. Set within the forests and coastal landscapes of Nature Space Resort, this retreat weaves together mindful eating, hands-on culinary experiences, outdoor adventure, and cozy evenings by the fire.
Part wellness retreat, part culinary experience, and part invitation to truly savour every bite, this gathering also highlights Prince Edward Island’s exceptional food culture. Guests will meet talented local chefs, food experts, and producers who bring the Island’s flavours, stories, and traditions to life.
