Visiting our friends at Osho Leela

We are still under the energy wave of our 24-hour Extravaganza visit to Osho Leela, a sister centre situated in the heart of Dorset. It is a beautiful place with an international, vibrant and meditative community. We started the evening with the AUM meditation, followed by a delicious dinner, Biodanza and a fancy dress party with the theme "What Hero Are You?"

 

Cuisine at Croydon Hall

The winter season has been a very enjoyable one for us with some great events and lots of celebrating. The famous vegan chef, Nigel Walker, started the trend by producing beautifully presented, mouth-watering dishes for his Christmas event. 

On New Year’s Eve our talented cooks, Adri and Anahato, prepared a festive dinner for the guests and community, followed by fireworks, champagne and dancing into the early hours of the morning.

Here comes the New Year's Eve menu:

Cajun Blackbean Soup

with smoked tomato nachos

Smoked Paprika Feta Salad

with peppers, date cigarillos and sweet lemon dressing

Sweet Potato and Coconut Polenta

with Asian vegetable fricassé

Pear Tart

with lemon mousse

 

In response to suggestions by many guests, we held our first ever cooking workshop in January.

Between them our chefs, Shantidas, Adri, Anahato and Tara, have extensive international cooking skills and experience and it seemed fitting to give our guests a chance to learn some of these skills for themselves. The workshop was much appreciated and hugely successful.
