Ayurveda Cooking Weekend

Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th January 2026

Start the new year with a wholesome weekend of Ayurvedic cooking and self-care. Hosted at The Mindful Kitchen headquarters in Hebden Bridge (West Yorkshire), these two days of hands-on workshops are designed to inspire, reset and empower you in the kitchen - perfect for anyone curious about Ayurvedic cooking but unsure where to begin.

Ayurveda offers us guidance for nutrition, lifestyle, and living well. It is the oldest healing system in the world, yet its principles are unchanging and remain highly relevant today. During our weekend together we will learn a few basics of Ayurvedic nutrition and create simple meals that you can easily recreate in your kitchen at home.

If you’re seeking inspiration, tools and practical guidance to bring more nourishment into your life, this weekend is for you.

What to expect…

  • Saturday 10am-5pm & Sunday 9am-5pm
    (with a two-hour break each day to explore the town or enjoy downtime)

  • Simple Ayurvedic breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, and digestive remedies. We’ll enjoy two meals a day, plus snacks & drinks.

    The food will be organic, sourced locally and from ethical suppliers, and mostly plant-based (with the exception of ghee).

  • Learn practical cooking skills and how to stock your pantry with essential spices and ingredients, and discover easy recipes and nutrition tips to take into everyday life.

  • Discover your unique constitution (dosha) and understand how to balance it with diet and lifestyle.

  • Connect and learn from in-depth time with Bex from The Mindful Kitchen and in community with others on their cooking and wellbeing journey.

You’ll also find nature right around the corner, with Nutclough Woods and the historic Hardcastle Crags both within walking distance.

Accommodation is not included - if you’re joining from further afield, I’m happy to recommend lovely local places to stay.

There are a maximum of 6 places available. With such a small number, we’ll have a wonderful chance to get to know each other and bring a more personalised approach to your experience.
