Invitation to the Video Conference
Holistic Vegetarian Cooking Art – A New Food Culture
A post by Carmen Kraus, last updated on September 27, 2026
Holistic vegetarian cuisine integrates the whole person into the process of eating. In our society, however, nutrition is mainly considered from the perspective of physical health. But isn’t food also an essential foundation for emotional well-being and a source of joy in social interactions? We therefore ask ourselves: “What role does the individual play when choosing the ingredients for a meal, preparing it and then eating it?“
The Forum for Holistic Vegetarian Cooking Art focuses on the development of one’s own personality with the help of nutrition. Through collaboration with the spiritual teacher Heinz Grill and the study of his research on universal laws, a person’s sense of self-efficacy can be fostered. Independent exploration of the so-called “etheric laws” and their conscious application have a positive effect on the healing qualities of food. These laws are still largely overlooked and could serve as a building block for a holistic food culture in the future.
We invite you to learn about this culinary art and the associated research work in our video conferences and to engage in an exchange with us.
We welcome interested people who want to expand their traditional diet, as well as people from a wide variety of dietary backgrounds and cultures. Whether vegetarian, vegan, healthy or ill, we welcome anyone who is interested in developing cooking into a healing art.
We are a team made up of people from a wide variety of countries.What unites us is our commitment to exploring the art of healing cuisine and its possibilities, and to passing on this knowledge through an internship program for those new to the field in our research kitchen. We believe it is essential to foster a deeper relationship with food by expanding the knowledge involved in its preparation. This makes it possible to enhance the quality of food, thereby having a restorative effect on human health and promoting mental and spiritual development. We do this while upholding economic and ecological ideals, and in doing so, we aim to contribute to the fight against world hunger.
For future video conferences, I will invite experts who can give us an idea of their work with food—whether in the context of their culinary art or their vision for organic food production. If you’re interested in sharing your vision, please feel free to contact me by email.
The planned dates for 2026 are:
Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 7 p.m.
Sunday, 22 November 2026 at 7 p.m.
