Food Choices Retreat at GROW HQ with Mick Kelly

Taking place at GROW HQ, the Food Choices Retreat with Mick Kelly offers a thoughtful and restorative space to step back from the noise of modern food culture. The retreat takes place on 6th June from 10 am to 4 pm and is designed to help participants feel calmer and more confident about everyday food decisions. This immersive experience brings clarity to a topic that can often feel overwhelming.

From Confusion to Clarity

Led by GIY founder Mick Kelly, the retreat centres around the concept of Food Empathy, a way of reconnecting with where our food comes from and understanding the impact of our choices on both personal health and the environment. Rather than focusing on rigid rules, the retreat encourages a more balanced, realistic approach to eating well.

Through practical insights and discussion, participants will explore simple but meaningful food behaviours, including eating seasonally, supporting local producers, reducing reliance on ultra-processed foods, eating more plants, and cutting down on food waste.

A Fresh Perspective on Food

Set in the inspiring surroundings of GROW HQ, this retreat draws on nearly two decades of work helping people rebuild their relationship with food through growing, cooking, and eating real, nourishing ingredients. It offers a chance to pause, reflect, and reconnect with food in a more intentional and enjoyable way.

Leave Feeling Empowered

At a time when food choices can feel complex and overwhelming, this retreat provides a sense of clarity and direction. Visitors will leave feeling recharged, inspired, and equipped with practical tools to make food choices that support both their wellbeing and the world around them.
