Seasonal Eating - Mind Food | If food was your compass which way would you go?
In a time when we are thinking about our food choices more than ever are we considering how they make us feel? Not just on a physical level but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Join a spiritual Mindful Food Cooking Class with Lauren Lovatt that connects you to mind, body and soul. Begin with a mindful meditation with CCT in-house wellness practitioner, followed by a soulful cooking class with Lauren Lovatt, closing the session lovingly breaking bread together as a group over great conversation and exploration of self and each other.
Mind food is not just about the ingredients we use, but the act of coming together around food, taking a moment to tune in and also tuning into to what you need in the moment. Of course, easier said than done so this week we are collaborating with Lauren, founder of the Plant Academy and woman behind Feed Your Mind candy. Lauren’s passion lies in food for mental health so in this workshop we hope to boost your spirits and feed your mind!
