Workshops
Food as Medicine
Sunday, November 9th, 1-5 pm
​
Led by Aida and assisted by Gabriel
This is a fun and informative 4-hour workshop. Aida incorporates into this workshop knowledge and experience gathered over 40 years as a lifestyle counselor and cooking instructor. It's an opportunity to explore the healing power of food throughout the different seasons. The focus will be on how to choose and prepare whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and seaweeds for each season, and for one's constitution.
Workshop is based on Eastern Medicine's Five-Element Theory, but no previous knowledge of this is necessary to participate.
The food we cook and prepare together will be served as a meal at the end of the afternoon.
Small group format with lots of opportunity to get your hands involved, and to pose questions.
