Food Studio

THE HOSTS OF THE WEEKEND
Cecilie Dawes, Founder Food Studio – Oslo Norway
Cecilie spent her early years between pine forest and the mountains of Norway where she grew a deep connection to the Scandinavian outdoors. In 2011 she founded Food Studio as a collective of game-changers rethinking the idea of sustainable modern lifestyle and from 2018 she has developed Vefaldneset as the main base of this work.

Irene Hirsti Kvam, Outdoor tour guide and teacher – Oslo, Norway
Irene has over the years spent a great amount of time on a variety of different studies, from teaching, to science and philosophy, to outdoor tour guiding and organic farming. In addition to this she has volunteered in a solidarity and environmental organization, and worked on a big project to make one of the world’s first Climate houses in Oslo. The recurring theme has always been nature, to teach how to understand, interact with and enjoy nature.

Kristin Føyn Føyen  – Oslo, Norway
Kristin has a degree in social anthropology and organic farming, and is a real doer. She wishes to create honest atmospheres where people can reconnect with nature, getting a better understanding of ourselves, each other, and the resources surrounding us. She has “friluftsliv” to her core and being in wildlife and outside is  just the natural way of life for Kristin. Throughout the years she has facilitated different variations of the Food Studio Experience , and are looking forward to yet another co-creating adventure!

Food Empathy
By «Food Empathy» we mean the essential understanding of what food is. Where food comes from. The journey it has undertaken. The resources spent from sun, soil and grass. How it enriches not just our souls, but also builds and nourishes our bodies. And how it finally returns to nature when we throw food away or digest it. In short, an understanding of the great wheel of sustaining life and how it comes full circle. 

PROGRAM
Every day will have a rhythm of a slow start, optional morning bath/practice, breakfast, workshops, warm lunch at noon, open time to do what you like and an evening supper.

Through the weekend we will explore different workshops on practise related to:
– Food (philosophy, nutrition, fishing, foraging, cooking)
– Spa (sauna & cold baths)
– Movement (yoga, walks, forest, swimming, paddling)
– Craft (wood fire, baking)
– Nature skills (building camp, how to stay dry and comfortable)
