Each meal included warm breads and ample buffets filled with the most delicious vegetable preparations. There were bowls of warming cauliflower soup, beautiful squash corn bread, huge platters of sautéed seasonal vegetables and a beautiful salad bar. (There were meat choices as well, but I never made it beyond the veggies.) I ate some meals in the “quiet room” and others perched outside, watching the clouds shift over the Berkshires. I never felt overly full, but was completely satieted. Eating so little processed sugar, so little coffee and so many whole grains made my body shift. There maple walnut scones were a perfect example of how healthier baked goods can still be delicious.
And, in fact, since my return, I have tried to continue to stick with tea, whole wheat pastry flour, whole grains and sugar substitutses, like agave nectar.
I keep trying to figure out how to return to Kripalu. But, truth be told, the irony of Kripalu is that it isn’t cheap. I stayed in a dorm room with 5 other women. They were as quiet and respectful as one would want. Yet, for a bunk bed (along with 3 meals, access to the grounds and classes), for just one night is no less than $185. So, Kripalu can not be a regular part of my routine. But to know it is there is a blessing.
