Healing Mind and Body With Food

Life is moving fast these days, and with all that’s going on we sometimes turn to favorite foods for comfort. This mindless emotional eating often leaves us feeling bloated, grumpy and disconnected from our bodies and our well-being. But at the moment, we’re not thinking about that, are we? We’re just seeking solace.

Taking a more mindful approach to how and when we eat and having the right food available can help us feel good about ourselves and our choices. We can fully enjoy the tastes, textures, and aromas of our food with appreciation and a sense of satisfaction.

What if we choose to eat food that satisfies the craving for comfort AND is good for our bodies and mental well-being? How would we feel then?

Imagine feeling more in tune with your body's needs, making choices that truly nourish you from the inside out, knowing what you need to eat to feel good and be healthier in mind, body, and spirit!

In this workshop, we will:

• Savor the experience of tasting and experiencing food more fully.
• Learn simple mindfulness tips to recognize and manage stress-related eating.
• How to create smarter habits around how, what, and when we choose to eat.
• Learn about the “6 Tastes” in Ayurvedic cooking and how it relates to our wellbeing.
• Enjoy a sampling of delicious foods and lunch prepared by Chef Stefani Brandt, a certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor.
• How to use your innate wisdom to take better care of yourself and be rewarded with more energy, less stress, and more trust in yourself.

This workshop is for anyone who wants to understand the relationship between stress and eating and how to gain control of those emotional eating impulses to turn to better and equally satisfying options.

Whether you're a seasoned chef or just starting your wellness journey, you'll find practical tools and inspiration to help you eat with intention and joy.
