Do you feel called to become a teacher of health and wellbeing?

Oliver Cowmeadow, is offering two opportunities for Macro School graduates to develop their teaching skills and share this work with the world:

Teacher Training Weekend Course - 4-6 December 2026 — for graduates of the first-year Holistic Nutrition & Cooking course.

✨ Teacher Training Programme — for those who have completed years 2 or 3 at the IMS, or equivalent training elsewhere.

We’re also looking for new teachers to join the IMS, especially for future first-year courses.

Oliver has dedicated much of his life to teaching a healthier, happier way of life — and now he wants to pass these skills on to others who feel called to continue this work.

If this speaks to you, explore the courses and get in touch. We need more passionate teachers sharing this knowledge!

In a world that so often encourages us to rush, there is something quietly powerful about slowing down and gathering together.

Our Summer Garden Party was a beautiful reminder that true nourishment is found not only in the food we eat, but in the company we keep, the conversations we share, and the moments of stillness that allow us to simply be.

On a glorious summer’s day, we came together to enjoy delicious macrobiotic food, celebrate community and reconnect with what really matters.

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful resident chef, Lara, whose incredible food was prepared with such love, care and attention. Every dish reflected the essence of macrobiotic cooking—simple, seasonal, nourishing and deeply satisfying.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create such a warm, joyful atmosphere. It is these moments of connection that remind us that health is not something we achieve alone. It grows through community, shared meals, laughter, kindness and the simple pleasure of being together.

We wish you all a beautiful, restful summer filled with good food, time in nature and moments of peace.

We would love to welcome you to one of our online or residential courses this autumn.

We also have an Online Open Evening in September, where you can meet the team, learn more about our approach and discover which course might be right for you. Full details of our courses and the Open Evening can be found on our website.

With warmest wishes from all of us at the International Macrobiotic School.
