Mindful Eating Workshop for Seniors with Thorncliffe Park Urban Farmers
About this Event
Event Overview
Join us for our Healthy Eating for Seniors workshop, a fun and interactive session designed with older adults in mind—but open to everyone in the community.
Led by a registered dietitian, this workshop explores the foundations of healthy eating through engaging presentations, practical cooking activities, and group discussion. Participants will learn how to create nutritious, affordable meals, develop healthy eating habits, and discover local resources that support food security.
The session includes both oral and visual presentations on maintaining a balanced diet, followed by hands-on cooking demonstrations and activities that showcase simple, budget-friendly recipes. Participants are welcome to enjoy the food prepared during the workshop.
Each workshop is 2 hours long, and seniors are encouraged to participate at their own pace and take breaks whenever needed. Several TPUF volunteers will also be present to provide support throughout the session.
We'll also provide:
- 🥗 Nutrition education led by a registered dietitian
- 🍳 Hands-on cooking activities and demonstrations
- 🍴 Samples of the meals prepared during the workshop
- ☕ Complimentary snacks and beverages
- 🎁 Raffle prizes, which typically include Yeti cups, TPUF swag, and gift cards
Cost: Free
Registration: Registration is not required. If you're planning to attend with a larger group, please send us an email so we can prepare accordingly.
