 Internationally acclaimed as one of the most holistic, comprehensive live food training programs on the market, the Conscious Eating course offers an amazingly thorough exploration of the intricacies of a plant-based lifestyle. It illuminates the powerful role that live food has in the enhancement of all levels of being. Physically, a diet comprised of plant-based, live foods is associated with the amelioration of many diseases, including diabetes, depression, cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, and more. Emotionally, making compassionate food choices is profoundly powerful in promoting peace with the self and with the ecology of the planet. Spiritually, a diet of live plant foods supports our bodies and energies as superconductors for the Divine. Optimal health, longevity, vitality, spiritual upliftment, and attunement are hallmarks of a live food lifestyle.
In this eye-opening journey, your relationship with food will be fundamentally altered. The aim of the program is not only to educate about the benefits of a live, plant-based lifestyle, but also to train participants in all elements of meal preparation. This includes lectures from Dr. Cousens on how to individualize the diet and detoxification, and food prep demonstration from Tree of Life Cafe Chefs. Another unique feature of the Conscious Eating Intensive is that it is one of the the only low-glycemic live food preparation courses in the world, making the recipes accessible to those with diabetes, hypoglycemia, insulin resistance, candida and other blood-sugar related health challenges. Preparing live cuisine becomes an act of love, an opportunity for creative expression, and a potent portal to the divine. You will quickly see why Dr. Gabriel Cousens, MD MD (H), DD has become one of the world’s leading experts in holistic healing, live food, and spirituality.
Also offered at the Tree of Life Europe-Israel.

"One of the best courses I've taken - totally organized and covered all the areas needed. The chefs all showed total enthusiasm. Nothing is as important as an inspiring teacher." – Jean T.
"This course gave me the confidence to create delicious simple Phase 1 meals and I feel encouraged to eat with consciousness." -Isabel F., FL
“The Tree of Life provided me with the skills that WILL change my life. Last week I was eating steak. This week I may have salad with my raw muesli. I lost an amazing 6 lbs during the week. No discomfort. In fact, the occasional mild hunger pains I experienced were delightfully accepted as proof I was succeeding! I fully expect that my body will achieve my heart's intention: radiant health, with bounce and joy in every step!” –Rich D.
"I love my encounters with Gabriel, Shanti, Gaia, the staff, the Tree of Life, the garden, the pool, the food... I felt at home on a soul level. A must visit for spiritual awakening. The first breath I took in this life was not when I was born but the day I arrived at the Tree of Life." -Delphine H.
"A fantastic course. Students receive a balance of practical and hands-on application of the principles or raw food vegan preparations. Very empowering and enlightening." -Tristan S., CA

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE:
Please review our Welcome Guide and Important Policies before you arrive at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center. Inside you will find details on how to prepare for your stay, what to bring, and what to expect.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
Please note: The majority of our rooms are shared, double-occupancy lodging with shared bathrooms a short walk away. Our listed prices reflect this lodging option. You will be given a roommate of the same gender when necessary. We have four private rooms with private bathrooms available at additional costs. Alternatively, you may choose to stay off site in town and attend your program at the Tree of Life during the day, though this option typically requires approval from our medical staff. We generally recommend that you stay on site with us to assist you in your healing journey.
The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center spreads across 180 acres of land, nestled within the pristine natural setting of the Mountain Empire of Patagonia. Our on-site lodging is intentionally simple to inspire a profound inward journey.
The Casitas, one of our on-site housing options, are ecologically constructed. We have ten bright and clean rooms surrounding a Spanish-style courtyard. Four outdoor shared bathrooms with showers are only a few steps from each room. Two of the Casitas are private rooms with private bathrooms, available for an extra fee (please contact us for details) and the other eight rooms are shared, with two twin beds per room. The Casitas are located a short walk from our Café and a 15 min walk to the Oasis, which is the administrative building that includes the front desk, wellness spa, medical center, Culture of Life Shoppe, and natural pharmacy.
Only a few steps from the Oasis is the Orchard House. It is the closest housing option to all our rejuvenation & spa treatments. There we offer 4 shared guest rooms (two twin beds per room) in a house setting, complete with laundry room, living room, kitchen (no stove), 2 full baths, and a wooden front porch with a view of the majestic Red Mountain.
Our water is well water that is pumped through solar energy. The drinking water is filtered through a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification system. All the guest rooms are cleaned daily with all-natural, chemical-free products.
The all-inclusive daily base-rate is $199, including lodging, meals and juices, daily activities and free amenity use.
- Lodging*; rooms in 8 of the Casitas and the Orchard House are small, each equipped with two twin size natural latex beds and a shared wardrobe and dresser. Bathrooms are shared with other guests. The two private Casitas each have one double bed and a private bathroom (additional charges apply).
- Healing Live-Food Cuisine is served buffet-style at the Tree of Life Café. All meals are 100% organic, locally-grown, plant-source-only, high-mineral, low-glycemic, and prepared with love.
- Daily Activities include Kali Ray TriYoga®, spiritual nutrition education classes, healthy living Q&A with physician, food prep classes, meditations and spiritual evening programs.
- Amenities; unlimited wheat grass and tea stations, non-chlorinated pool and open-air hot tubs, sundecks, Mikvah (purification bath), labyrinth, medicine wheel, teepee, far-infrared saunas, nature trails, wireless internet at the Oasis and the Cafe and on-site shuttle service available upon request. Please note that shuttle is only available at certain hours of the day, and the center requires a lot of walking regardless. Walking also encourages the healing process.
- NO: in-room phones, TV, internet, or stereo. This is intentional to facilitate a feeling of complete retreat. There is high-speed wireless internet available at the Tree of Life Cafe and at the Oasis (administrative building), although it is strongly recommended that guests break from using internet and cell phones as much as possible during their stay.
Guests may also stay off-site, if they have been approved to do so by the medical staff, at one of the local B&Bs or guest houses. Patagonia is a small mountain town with only one main street and no traffic lights. Partner locations are only few minutes driving distance away from the Tree of Life campus.

PLEASE NOTE: We are not wheelchair accessible! The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center celebrates living close to the earth and deliberately provides this experience for our guests. In support of aiding our guests in cultivating a relationship with surrounding nature, our paths and roads are rugged and often rocky, with minimal artificial lighting. Any guest who has difficulties maintaining stability while walking, and especially our diabetic guests struggling with neuropathy, should use care while traversing our grounds. Though we typically encourage our guests to walk around our Center for exercise and to support inner peace, those dealing with any conditions that promote imbalance would be wise to use a car to get around our premises and to choose those walking paths offering smoother, more level surfaces and ample lighting. Guests should use their own discretion while at our Center. The Tree of Life is not liable for any injuries incurred in our natural setting.
TOURS
Tours of the Tree of Life grounds are offered during high volume times, such as during our 21-day programs. Outside of these programs, tours can be arranged upon advanced notice. Please call ahead to arrange this. We are not set up to offer tours without advanced notice. Thank you for your understanding.
