A 5-Day Whole Food Plant Based Retreat
Eureka Springs, Arkansas
October 29 - November 3, 2025
9 openings
A Life Changing Experience!
This is an opportunity for a transformative experience. Optimize well-being and embrace vitality. Reconnect with your health and wellness goals while savoring delicious, abundant and artfully prepared whole food plant-based meals specially curated for you by Culinary Instructor Karen Gros.
Informative presentations will be led by Dr. Cynthia Morgan, Founder and Executive Medical Director of the Ozark Center for Lifestyle Medicine. Discover the emerging medical field of Lifestyle Medicine and learn about the six pillars that serve as therapeutic lifestyle interventions to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. The body wants to heal, and Lifestyle Medicine helps individuals identify and remove obstacles to this natural healing process. Indeed, you will learn of the power inherent in every bite, every step, every extra minute of sleep, every moment spent in nature, and every supportive encounter with a loved one.
Not only will you experience the impact of a healthy lifestyle during this weekend immersion, but you will be provided with practical physical goals to take home as well. All participants will have the opportunity to undergo anthropometric screening with Dr. Morgan measuring your height, weight, along with a few other key body circumferences, to then calculate your approximate body composition. You will then be provided with unique weight loss (or gain) landmarks to help you reach the ideal body weight that will help you prevent and possibly reverse disease.
Stop Managing and Start REVERSING Chronic Disease
Are you craving a true reset — one rooted in meaningful connection, guided by experienced professionals, and energized by nourishing, delicious meals?
Whether you're plant-curious, fully committed, or completely new to this lifestyle, this retreat offers the perfect opportunity to refresh, renew, and reimagine what’s possible for your health.
This Retreat is a Great Fit if:
You’re tired of chronic disease holding you back—limiting your freedom, straining your finances, and keeping you from living the life you envision.
You’ve started the plant-based journey but life keeps getting in the way—and the food feels bland or boring.
Your numbers may still be high, but you know there's more to the story than just higher doses or more medications.
You feel defined by your weight and are ready to stop fearing food—and finally make peace with things like potatoes (yes, really!)
You long to reconnect with yourself and feel supported and guided in a truly holistic way.
You’re ready to explore a path beyond prescriptions—one where food, movement, and mindset are your medicine. With the right support, you know transformation is possible.
