BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
📷 Adelbert & Wieke Nelissen Founders of Deshima & Kushi Institute of Europe

Dear friends of Deshima, *Letter about Kushi Institute of Europe under

In this strange and, for some, difficult time it will probably not come as a surprise to you that also Deshima is in trouble. In the beginning of the lock down we were optimistic and had hope we could continue and survive until everything would be back to “normal”. But what we consider normal will probably not happen for a long time.
We have made the very difficult and sad decision to close Deshima, the shop and web shop and the lunchroom by September 1st 2020.

We want to thank you from our hearts for your support over the years, as a customer and/or student, backing our ideas of quality foods and macrobiotics.

Although we were a small business, we think that the standards of Deshima have had an influence in the word of natural food.
In the mid 80th Deshima lunch service and natural food shop were established by Adelbert and Wieke Nelissen. Both have been active in the field of macrobiotics since the 70th. Their first natural food shop developed soon in a production center under the name of Manna. The production of high-quality foods not commonly available was started, including tofu, smoked tofu, tempeh, seitan, natto, and a variety of sourdough breads. Especially from the sourdough bakery many students started their own bakery, in cities all over the world. And many of those products initiated and developed by them are found now even in super markets.

Sadness is a feeling we probably all share, definitely our family and our wonderful employees, but we want to stay positive and look into a future that will carry new ideas and possibilities to bring more peace into this world.

Again, thanks so much for your support and friendship.
We wish you all great health!

With love from,
Family Nelissen & Deshima team

Dear students & friends of the Kushi Institute of Europe

In this time of corona lock down and social distancing it is almost impossible for us to continue our macrobiotic educational program as usual. Social distancing makes it difficult to have students in high enough numbers to make things work. Besides that, we always had students from all over the world, which was a joy for all of us. But, as you know, traveling, especially by airplane, is impossible, even risky. And we do not know how this will develop in the coming time.
Therefor the educational activities (Kushi Institute, The Art of Life School, the cooking classes and study weekends) will be on hold. For sure we will come back with macrobiotic educational programs, in what form is not clear yet. But be sure, our heart is there and we will explore possibilities for teaching macrobiotics in all its aspects.

Thank you all for your wonderful presence, friendship and studious mind. `You were great teachers for us, together we could come to a deeper understanding of the Order of the Universe. Never lost in this strange time.
Many friendships originate from the Summer Conferences, the Art of Life School, the study weekends and the regular cooking classes. Let’s cherish this. We, teachers and staff, look back at an immensely inspiring time, thank you again.

So, new beginnings. We will contact you as soon as the corona situation calms down and we can see possibilities for teaching again.

Big hug from all of us!

Wieke, Horriah, Jasmijn, Gideon, Koji & Valentina Nelissen

💛 Alexander & Valentina

We are so excited and proud to present to you the new cookbook written by our teacher Alexander Gershberg.

Since 1969 our mission was to teach natural health and natural healing through macrobiotic life style and to bring it to the wide public. For many years we were waiting for a modern cookbook that captures the essence of the 5 Chinese elements and gives a practical way of how to use it.

With beautiful photography and delicious recipes you will dive into the ancient wisdom of the traditional Chinese medicine. What dishes can you prepare to feel energized, stronger and happy?

For the theoretical part of the book Alexander was supervised by our leading teachers: Wieke Nelissen, Alex Jack and Valentina Nelissen.

You can buy the book from Thursday on in our Deshima store or order it from us online.

Coming Saturday Alexander will be giving a special cooking class about the healing powers of food and present the subject of his new book. Come and get familiar with the main principles of the 5 elements in cooking and how to apply it in your daily life.

Here is the event with all the details:
