A Nutritious and Delicious Hawaiian
Health Adventure
We had a very successful first Virtual Retreat! Despite the pandemic restricting us from traveling, we brought the Indian Culture to everyone's home. We cooked, we laughed, we learned and we had some deep conversation. But most importantly, we took time for ourselves and away from the craziness. While we can't wait to bring our Retreats in other countries back to you, we are so grateful to still have a way of connecting with you and different cultures.
We are already busy planning a NEW VIRTUAL RETREAT and will announce it asap!
"Sunita is one of the most creative and talented chefs I have ever met. She is able to integrate the best techniques and ingredients from many cooking traditions (asian and western). I would not call it fusion as it's better than any fusion I have ever had. The menus were authentic but innovative and included Sunita's heavenly Chocolate bliss balls. For me Teatime and chutneys were a revelation. The relaxing Teatime tradition featured new ways to enjoy this restorative beverage. I learned that I could make my own chai spice blend.
Who knew healthy could taste so good?!
Sunita handles technology just as deftly as her ingredients. As a result, our computers enhanced our interactions. As a result, our computers enhance our interactions. I did not miss the in person cooking experience nearly as much as I thought I would. The virtual experience was just different and valuable in it's own right.
One never knows where a good meal might lead! I now have friends and a deeper understanding of another culture and my home town, for which I am very grateful.
Brava, Sunita for bringing people together with healthy, delicious food that nourishes body, mind and spirit!"

“The Culinary Retreat in Bali was unbelievable!!!! I met fantastic ladies in my group and local people!!! Sunita, the resort you chose was made to blend with the environment. It’s simplicity gave a very natural look and feel of the place. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Thank you Sunita for organizing this amazing, relaxing, instructive, fun retreat! It was a lifetime experience that I will always cherish!!"

“I attended Sunita's Raw Food Culinary Retreat in Bali in April 2016 and I had a truly amazing week. 5 days in a magical setting, with like-minded women, eating nutrient dense, rainbow colored, whole and living food that is not only healthy and energizing but also super tasty. Sunita is a very talented chef who brings a myriad of different flavors from all over the world into her creations. We picked local and fresh ingredients from the organic garden on site and learned how to prepare wonderful dishes. We sampled local produce, practiced yoga, explored Bali and really connected to each other, to nature and to a healthier way of living. It was a perfect retreat and I came back refreshed, re energized and inspired to incorporate Sunita's delicious recipes into my daily life and reap all the wonderful benefits of eating more raw food!”

Woke up to the chirping of birds, visited the local villages, explored the local arts and crafts, discovered the art of hand block printing in Rajasthan, experienced the culture, the people and the animals. We enjoyed fresh farm-to table organic gourmet meals. A culinary journey in delectable food! Learned about tiger conservation and building a sustainable village community around.

Thank you for bringing us all together and creating our collective India. Perhaps how we see the world or our place in this world. Perhaps how we feed ourselves or how we feed our soul. Perhaps simply how we relax into the ebb and flow of life. We are forever grateful!

The India retreat was a great adventure - well-planned, well-conceived and pulled off with grace and creativity. It had so many parts and Sunita did an amazing job of inspiring us, feeding us, teaching us, caring for us and joining us on many outings that were educational and exposed us to nature, history, culture and the power we each have to make the world a better place. It was truly a wonderful experience with a great group of people.

I loved the Santa Fe retreat! The food was fantastic. The activities offered were varied. Between hiking, yoga, the mineral soaks and the great food, I was very content. I hope to come back next year!

Sunita has turned the concept of raw food from boring and cardboard-like food to delicious and easy to make recipes. Many of the recipes are really tasty and also happen to be raw.
