The retreat lead experts introduced by Balance Holidays will be Morgan Witkin and Belinda Matwali. The lead expert is renowned meditation and wellbeing mentor, Belinda Matwali, who will be sharing her meditation techniques and life-affirming tools that she has learnt from meditation masters in India. A firm favourite on the hugely popular Deliciously Ella App, Belinda will guide retreaters through activities including sound baths, stretching, yoga, breathwork and mindfulness. She will be accompanied by celebrity vegan chef, health coach and holistic nutritionist, Morgan Witkin, who will be delivering a marriage of fresh, nutritional and beautifully presented plant-based cuisine. Founder of Morganic Kitchen, and the first American vegan chef to become a TV host for the Food Network in Italy, her recipes are 100% plant based, vegan, gluten and refined sugar free. Yet there is no deprivation in this; flavour and variation are not sacrificed. Alongside these two wellbeing powerhouses will be two local hiking experts who have carefully designed each route together with Balance Holidays.
