The Joy of Mindful Cooking: Summer - SOLD OUT

A 4-course dinner and interactive workshop.

When we bring mindfulness to our moments, we can ascertain what we are feeling and what we need. Mindful cooking is a way to rediscover one of the most pleasurable things we do as human beings. It also has the unexpected benefit of helping us tap into our body's natural wisdom and our hearts natural capacity for openness and gratitude. 

In this workshop and hands-on cooking class, we will explore the nourishing practice of mindful eating and cooking with a focus on fresh summer produce. You will get back to the basics and develop a greater appreciation for food while igniting your confidence and creativity in cooking. In acknowledgment of summer, we will focus on recipes that are lighter, using local flavors and ingredients.
