Carnivore retreats
Simple food, space to reset
Here, the retreat experience is organized around what is on the plate: meals follow a carnivore and animal-based approach, with an emphasis on straightforward, nourishing food. At De Batavier 58 in Winterswijk, guests can use a kitchen, sauna and hot tub, with free Wi-Fi and parking also listed. The food options include meat, with organic, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free choices noted. The retreat’s stated aim is to simplify eating, rather than to present a named meditation tradition or a particular spiritual lineage. That makes it a distinctive fit for travelers curious about a food-centered retreat; anyone with specific dietary needs should confirm the details with the host before booking. The center runs by donation, so guests should ask directly how contributions are handled. Winterswijk is reachable by train from Schiphol via Arnhem, followed by a short taxi ride from the station.
