This is not your typical retreat
Set on breathtaking Texas Hill Country at LoneHollow Ranch — just 90 minutes from San Antonio airport — this is where wellness, connection, adventure, and abundance all come together. We book the entire ranch, so for five days the whole property is ours — no other guests, no crowds. Whether you're whole-food plant-based, plant-curious, or just exploring, you'll feel right at home.
One ticket · everything included
$945 adult · $445 youth (3–17) · infants free — every meal, all speakers, and every activity, all five days.
0% interest payment plan — adult from $236/mo, no credit check, no application. On-site rooms from $545 (also on a 0% plan). Full refund up to 90 days out.
The filmmaker behind Cowspiracy, What the Health & Seaspiracy — three documentaries that moved millions toward plant-based living — live on the Texas main stage.
The physician and New York Times bestselling author behind How Not to Die, How Not to Diet & How Not to Age — founder of NutritionFacts.org, the internet’s largest free library of evidence-based nutrition research — joins us live in Utopia. We’ve known Dr. Greger for years; we couldn’t be more excited to finally welcome him to our own retreat.
We've partnered with Casa de Luz East — one of Austin's most beloved organic, whole-food, plant-based, oil-free kitchens, an institution people drive across Texas for. This isn't catering. We're bringing their kitchen, their chefs, and their standards to the retreat — cooking for every guest, at every meal.
Our head chef, Mario Fabbri, leads the kitchen — with Gabby Martinez, owner of Casa de Luz East, as his sous chef — together cooking five unforgettable days of food for every guest.
Every meal, every day — included with your ticket. Organic, oil-free, refined-sugar-free, 100% whole-food plant-based. Come hungry.
Oil-free, refined-sugar-free, 100% whole-food plant-based — every bite included with your ticket. Four of the five dinners are theme nights, cooked from scratch by Casa de Luz East.
Pastas — whole-wheat spaghetti, gluten-free penne, zoodles
Sauces — oil-free marinara, pesto & alfredo
Mains — baked Italian lentil “meatballs,” balsamic bruschetta with garlic bread, steamed broccoli
Brown rice, BBQ tofu, edamame, pickled onions & beets, steamed greens, sweet-potato hash — with Casa de Luz green sauce
Heirloom corn tortillas pressed on site, BBQ tofu, fajita veggies, guacamole, cashew queso, seasoned pinto beans, cilantro rice
Tofu sandwich bar, gluten-free mac & cheese with peas, baked BBQ cauliflower wings
Whole-food plant-based baked burgers on Ezekiel buns or wrapped in greens — pasta salad, potato salad, corn on the cob
Gabby’s tamales with cranberry sauce, brown rice with mixed veggies, black beans
Plant-Strong pizza crust with toppings & house-made cheese
Sal hand-delivers thousands of pounds of just-picked exotic fruit to LoneHollow Ranch, chosen in season at peak ripeness. Expect fruit you may never have tried before.
See the Texas fruit lineup →Vacuum-blended smoothies, fresh-pressed juices, and scoopable banana ice cream — new for 2027, out all day long.
Native Mexican heirloom corn — nixtamalized, stone-ground and pressed into tortillas in front of you. Four varieties, four regions.
Three cookies at every lunch; brownies, berry-filled cupcakes, strawberry cake & apple pie at dinner — all gluten-free.
90%+ certified organic, always. Mario & Gabby are still tasting their way through the final lineup, so a dish or two may change before March — oil-free, whole-food and included never do. See the full menu page →
Running the VWR kitchen at both 2027 retreats — Los Angeles vegan private chef, TEDx speaker, and host of Trying Vegan with Mario. Expect live food demos, big flavors, and every meal feeling like an event.
Owner of Casa de Luz East, joining our kitchens at both 2027 retreats as sous chef to head chef Mario Fabbri — cooking for every guest, every day.

Distances are driving miles to the ranch; times are approximate and assume normal traffic. Flying into SAT? Book the roundtrip airport bus and we’ll handle the drive.
