Internship in Holistic Vegetarian Cooking Art
The philosophy of the Forum for Holistic Vegetarian Cooking Art
At the heart of the Forum for Holistic Vegetarian Cooking Art lies the idea of offering nourishing food for people. One may even assume that the menus on offer have a therapeutic effect due to the method of preparation, which is rooted in a spiritual approach. Food is elevated to a higher level through the work of consciousness. How can this healing power be created? We explore the subtle life forces inherent in the food itself and those forces that arise during the cooking process and affect physical and mental health, and we develop our ‘healthful menus’ based on this knowledge.
Are you interested in a healthy vegetarian diet and the specific steps involved in preparing it? The team of the Forum for Holistic Vegetarian Cooking Art, at Lundo in Italy, offers you the opportunity to learn, research and create healing dishes as part of an internship.
Through their expertise and relationship with food, and by deepening their knowledge of the art of preparation and seasoning, cooks have a very healing influence on the quality of food. During your internship, you can learn about this art and take your first steps towards mastering it.
Steps in the cooking process



the aesthetically arranged food
and their sense of taste.
What does the internship involve?
The work placement begins with an introductory meeting, during which the times for working in the kitchen are also agreed. If desired, this meeting can be combined with a meal or a tour of the Sonnenoase.
The preparation of a meal in the research kitchen usually begins with a preparatory discussion within the cooking team and ends with a brief reflection on the day’s learning content.
Anyone interested in the academic programme at the Free University of Spirituality, can combine the kitchen placement with study modules by individual arrangement.
Core Course Content
- the book Nutrition and the Inner sense of Giving by Heinz Grill
- several other specialist books, e.g. by Udo Renzenbrink and Rudolf Hauschka
- further texts on various nutritional systems such as Ayurveda, macrobiotics, vegan and gluten-free diets, etc.
