The kitchen
After a meditation or a group session, a meal with friends in the “Zorba” restaurant in Miasto is certainly one of the most nutritious and interesting things of the day. Our kitchen prepares vegetarian meals with vegetables, legumes and cereals seasoned also with the awareness and care that permeates the actions and work of our staff.
It is necessary for a meditator to remain aware of what he eats, how much he eats and what its effects are on his body. If you experiment for a few months with awareness, you will certainly find out which is the right food for you, which food gives you tranquility, peace and health. There are no real difficulties, but because you do not pay any attention to your food you are never able to discover the right food.”
