Testimonials
“Transformations International runs NLP and other training in various places round the world, and we prefer to arrange catering privately. We have special requirements (our meals are vegetarian). Daniel and Audrey came into our training after we had a rather bad experience of catering, and we were nervous about taking the risk of a new catering service. But they were amazing. They sat down and checked what would make the meals work for us, and they delivered on their promises. They checked repeatedly with us and with the course participants and evolved a menu to work for us. Daniel and Audrey are artists with food, and they elevate meal times from mere physical recharging to a celebration of food and life. They also created a kind of synergic system in which our plans participated, with their own philosophy of food, in creating something unique and uplifting. Each dish was exquisitely done, and elegantly presented. With Daniel and Audrey you will discover how to enjoy food as an art, as a meditation, as a celebration, and as a collective learning experience.”

“This is to thank you for your fantastic efforts in providing divine food for the recently held Silent Meditation retreat at Kawai Purapura ( Wellpark). All the participants were thoroughly impressed by the quality of food which was very high in energy (prana.) This kind of food is very congenial for the practices that we do in the course. Also it was so nice of you to provide the Ginger Tea as discussed and it became the favourite of our Teacher too…JJT
the teacher invited the chefs to the class and introduced them to the whole group. This has never happened in the past. Also we appreciate your efforts to adhere to our request of not using onion, garlic and a big list of other ingredients in spite of which the food was gracefully tasty.
The whole Art of Living team was inspired and loved their stay at Wellpark and cherished the moments.
I thank you both for your tremendous efforts and would love to be in touch soon for another conference at Wellpark.
Thanks & best wishes”
