Alexandra Mitsiou

Alexandra Mitsiou is a food creative + stylist experimenting with food as a medium of expression, nourishment, and mindfulness.



Trained as a biologist, she extended her studies to the science of cooking and got traineeship in various professional kitchens in the Netherlands.



Combining a scientific and a heart felt approach to food, she is interested in the interactions of our physical and emotional body with the resource.



Her attention is drawn by food textures, forms & colour palettes with the aim to demonstrate the essence of food and its relation to our senses, emotions and psyche.



She invites you to pause and listen, touch and feel, taste, take in the scent and observe the changes of what we see and what is happening within us.



Since recently, she has answered her calling and started working with the sacred cacao from the Mayan communities of Guatemala. Adding this as a food element and a fundamental ancestral guide to heart opening and social connection.



During the retreat she will guide a food meditation practice to help us connect with the resource and fully emerge in it with all our senses. She will also give a cacao ceremony around the fire holding the space to open our hearts and express our gratitude towards the elements that support our existence, praise mother Earth, connect and interact with each other like one.
