.jpg "Cookery demo")
Learn how to cook Indian-style on this residential weekend break. You can see it as a
'working' holiday that you'll really enjoy. Retreat work shops and cookery demos led by Syamananda Das (pictured above) and Carmen
McEvitt.
Arrival: The general arrival time for retreats is
6pm. As you need to cross on a ferry to get to the island, it is most convenient to have everyone arrive for
6pm. However, if you want to arrive later or a little earlier, that can be
arranged.
