In the mountains northeast of Órgiva, southern Spain ★  11 people participated, therein 3 children. We did beautiful trips, which even the children (5/7/8 years) enjoyed. The group was growing together, and some nice connections were the result. The area had an abundance of mulberries, which we enjoyed a lot.

We didn't do a vision circle. So we'll discuss the next Rawfood Retreat in a WhatsApp group. My suggestions:

* We'll give to the registered people a meeting point (for example a bus station) and walk together to the retreat place (which the people don't know in advance), to make the registrations more bindingly and to get a group being together from the beginning possibly to the end.

* Especially in the first days I felt a lack of common activities. We'll announce next time from the beginning common trips, workshops and talking circles.

* There was a lack of wild plants in the food circles. That we should organise better next time. I find them important in a raw food diet.

* The retreat place should be clear in advance, so that we don't need to scout in the beginning of the retreat. For that 3 of us did already after the retreat a scouting walk of 3 days and found some beautiful places.

We found this pool with waterfall by chance - no road, no path is going to there.

The same river more up there is this bigger waterfall.

At home: food circle. The cherries, nectarines and apples we found in the region or people gave us from their garden. No mulberries here because...

...we picked them always from the trees. The children enjoyed to scare people...

...but there was always water close by for washing.

He used even more colors.

The children enjoyed a lot to climb and play in the river bed.

We found also amazing chestnut trees. They can get up to 800 years old!
