Food that holds the container.

Transformational Nourishment

With Enki

Catering for:

  • Retreats

  • Festivals

  • Private Events

Our Philosophy

Food is one of the most grounding forces in any transformational container. When participants are going deep — emotionally, spiritually, physically — what they eat, and how it's offered, shapes the entire experience.
Transformational Nourishment exists exclusively for spaces dedicated to growth and evolution. I bring professional kitchen craft together with genuine presence in the work, so that the food your participants receive isn't just delicious — it's part of the care that holds your participants.

The transformational Nourishment difference

The integrated Kitchen

Most retreat kitchens run parallel to the container — present but separate. We work differently.
My team is steeped in transformational work. We understand group field, emotional process, and what participants need at different points in a retreat arc. That awareness shapes everything from how we show up at meals to how we move through shared spaces. The kitchen becomes an anchor — not just logistically, but energetically.

Feeding diverse diets

Menus are built from the center out — starting with dishes that are naturally inclusive, then layering in options so omnivores, vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free guests all eat from the same abundant table. Nobody gets the side dish version of the meal.

We serve

  • Retreat programs

  • Conscious festivals

  • Intensive trainings

  • 30–300 participants

  • Multi-day events

  • Staffed or volunteer kitchen teams

Cost

Pricing is based on headcount, duration, sourcing requirements, and kitchen conditions. Most multi-day contracts fall in the range of
$60 - $100 per person per day.

Food Vision

Good retreat food starts with good ingredients. We source locally and seasonally where possible, prioritize whole foods and organic produce, and cook everything from scratch. The result is food that's genuinely nourishing — not because of what we leave out, but because of the care that goes in.
Our sourcing principles:

  • local & seasonal

  • whole foods

  • organic

  • scratch cooking

  • no seed oils

“Working with Enki is one of my favorite things. Communication is easy, the food is excellent and tasty (especially for a somewhat picky eater like me) and delivery of the meals is smooth and served with a big smile by the whole crew.And, more than what is expected of an excellent caterer, there’s a deeper piece that Enki and his crew offer: they bring a way to hold the participants in their process through the magic of nourishment, so that they may be held not only by the facilitators and the venue, but also by the food they ingest each day of a retreat or event.”

"Enki is a true professional and huge asset for any container. In addition to providing delicious food, his leadership and energy in the kitchen supports in numerous other ways. He is positive and low-stress. He communicates well. He selects a great team that supports the energy of the container. Food is on time. And most of all, he deeply understands what it is to hold a complex, tender, transformational container, and acts as a partner in being successful on every level. 10/10."
