About the Series
Do you find that you are eating when you aren't hungry? Do you feel there is never enough time to eat a meal without doing something else or let alone make a healthy and satisfying meal? When we bring mindfulness to our moments, we can ascertain what we are feeling and what we need.
Mindful eating is a way to rediscover one of the most pleasurable things we do as human beings. It is also a path to uncovering many wonderful activities going on right under our noses and within our bodies. Mindful eating 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 insightful workshop series, you will get back to the basics and develop a greater appreciation for food while building your confidence and creativity in cooking. You will learn the foundations of mindfulness applied, to eating, cooking, and your life. Imagine sitting around a table with a like-minded group. Now close your eyes and really taste an olive. Feel the pop of its skin, the softness of the flesh, the roughness of the pit. Through the simple exercises of mindfulness as it relates to food, you will learn to be satisfied with less not more.
The evidence based tools from the instructor's work in Mindful Eating research will be taught: Hunger awareness, mindful choice, mindfulness of thoughts and feelings, and other meditations.
