CONSENT AGREEMENTS -
Lifestyle at Naturalmente

- Agreements

Co-creation and Connection – One of Naturalmente’s principles is Co-creating a Life together, and learning to live in Harmony with each other and Nature.

Natural Healthy Living – Naturalmente, as a Healing Retreat Center, promotes healthy, sustainable living habits, in harmony with nature, nourishing the Body, Mind and Soul.

So we nurture an environment free from addictive habits, where we focus on not depending on anything external for our well-being and happiness…,

In Naturalmente, we don’t use alcohol or recreational drugs, and we ask you not to bring addictive substances/unhealthy habits to Naturalmente.

Healthy Revitalizing Meals – These are vegan – natural, healthy and revitalizing, prepared in a way that gives priority to keeping most life energy and nutritional value.

(exceptions can be made with the approval of the core team...

We focus on Boosting our Immune System, treating health issues the most natural (and effective) way possible.

Constructive Communication – Our intention is to communicate with Authenticity and Respect, co-creating a safe space for expressing our feelings and basic needs in a constructive, compassionate way.

Silent Areas – we ask you to respect the silent periods, and also to respect anyone choosing to be in silence.

Outside of these silent periods, music is very welcome. We prefer Live music, (rather than recorded).
So, feel invited to bring your instruments, and let’s make music together.

Sustainability
This is a place for Living in harmony with Nature, and includes caring for the resources in a sustainable way.

Only biodegradable and environmentally friendly cleaning and washing products are used here!

Please care for the water in our eco-friendly pool and ponds, please avoid using chemical based sunscreens

Naturism is possible in some areas - we care to create a safe environment, where one can be authentic, and everyone can feel safe and respected, where every interaction requires clear consent…

Healthy environment and Alive connections – Naturalmente values a Healthy environment and Human connections. So we enjoy being in an environment without wifi radiation.

We have internet access using a cable connection.

We ask you not to use Wifi or wireless connections at Naturalmente,
and to keep your phones off, while in the presence of other people.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Healthy Revitalizing Meals
The meals in Naturalmente - Retreat Center are vegan - natural, healthy and revitalizing, and prepared in a way that gives priority to keeping most life energy and nutritional value

We focus on providing all the nutrients required for a balanced healthy nutritional complete meal.

In general:

·       we like to use whole-grain cereals

(we avoid gluten)

       - we like to use healthy (polyunsaturated) fats

(so we don't fry or heat oils/fats or seeds,

so they don't become saturated (unhealthy)

·       - we like to use raw vegetables, fruits, and sprouts

(so we get the most life energy from these)

(we avoid sugar, coffee and processed food)

The cooking team assures a healthy base meal

·       All meals offered consist of a carb base (gluten free - cooked whole grain cereal),   complemented with raw vegetables/salads, sprouts / legumes(beans) and seeds

·       Occasional fruit snacks during day

·       Besides this, anyone can add what one feels, as long as it’s vegetarian, and everyone is informed of the ingredients if they are different than the healthy base meal proposals

Attending the nutritional needs and cravings of everyone, we focus on identifying the basic nutrient the body is requiring, not necessarily following the specific wish of the person, but making sure the nutrient is covered.

                Anything one would like to have besides the base we offer is considered an extra, and is from one’s own expense
(eg: fruitarian based meals, cooked vegetables base, or raw /juice base)

We focus on Boosting our immune System, treating health issues the most natural (and effective) way possible. (free ebook on “what we offer” page
- All Naturalmente is vegetarian (this also applies to all Naturalmente area, including personal spaces like caravans or bungalows)
