Meet your teachers
DEBORA
a passion for food & the psychology of life
Debora is a majored psychologist and a passionate and nutrition-conscious vegan chef from Switzerland. She is convinced that a balanced vegan nutrition has a positive effect on health, both physically and mentally. During her three and a half years as a nomadic traveller, she had insight into different ways of life and cuisines around the world. This cultural inspiration can be felt strongly in her catering food by Debora.
SELIN
a passion for movement, nature & yoga
In March 2020, Selin's path of seeking brought her to a yoga teacher training in India. She had been practicing yoga and meditation on and off since 2015 and loved the calming effect it had on her mind. During that program, she realized that she had only ever touched the surface. By peeling off layer after layer of expectations, perfection, doubts, ego, and numbing; she was able to go much deeper. What she found was the enough-ness and acceptance she always tried to find on the outside. What she found was more clarity and real freedom to just be – to be the whole of herself.

Testimonial
DEUTSCH: “Der self-care Yoga-Retreat mit Selin und Debora war absolut transformierend. Das vielfältige Programm beinhaltete Yoga-, Achtsamkeits- und Atemübungen, Wanderungen, Kochstunden sowie einen sehr informativen Ernährungs-Workshop. Die vier Tage im Tessin taten sowohl dem Körper als auch dem Geist und der Seele sehr gut. Die Batterien konnten definitiv wieder aufgeladen werden. Nach dem Retreat kam ich voller Elan und mit vielen neuen Kochideen nachhause und freue mich nun darauf, das Gelernte in mein Leben zu integrieren.” - Marina
ENGLISH: The self-care yoga retreat with Selin and Debora was absolutely transformative. The varied programme included yoga, mindfulness and breathing exercises, hikes, cooking lessons and a very informative nutrition workshop. The four days in Ticino were very good for the body as well as the mind and soul. The batteries could definitely be recharged. After the retreat, I came home full of energy and with many new cooking ideas and am now looking forward to integrating what I learned into my life."
