The heart of Bodhi Tree
A café built with love, by Lotus
Lotus founded Bodhi Tree more than 18 years ago, growing it into a family of three restaurants before the pandemic. Today, she is rebuilding the business with the same generous spirit and a renewed focus on organic, vegetarian food made with love.
Once home to a guesthouse, Bodhi Tree has long been a place to slow down, connect and feel welcome. Our cosy home café continues that tradition through daily cooking classes, alongside Pilates, meditation, prayer and relaxed coworking spaces.
Come for nourishing food; stay for the warmth, gentle rhythms and community that make Bodhi Tree special.

Good mental wellbeing should be accessible to everyone.

THE SCIENCE OF STILLNESS
Meditation is more than simply resting the mind.
Recent research suggests that meditation can influence patterns of brain activity and attention, and that sustained practice may be associated with changes in brain networks and other physiological processes. Scientists are still studying how these effects vary across practices and people.
