Good day Summer Trekkers,
So who’s looking for a great spot to find all you can learn and digest about Macrobiotics while enjoying delicious meals and wonderful informative peace-filled community of macro’s… well if you are you are in luck!
The Macrobiotic Summer Conference is coming the end of this month.
Traditionally, the Macrobiotic Summer Conference was held at the beautiful Kushi Institute in Beckett MA. Founded by Misho Kushi, this served as the center for macrobiotics around the world. Sadly, the institute closed its doors this past Fall 2016.
We are blessed however to have a new location for the summer conference just down the mountain from Beckett. This years 2017 Macrobiotic Summer Conference will be held at Eastover Estate, a holistic retreat center located on 600 acres of a natural sanctuary. Located in Lee, MA you are in the center of what is a mecca for nature lovers, music, art, outdoor exploration and more.
