Food is fuel + pleasure. How we eat impacts how we connect and how we cope. A healthy relationship with food is both simple and complex, particularly as food costs are increasing and we have both a vast variety of healthy foods and an overabundance of overly processed foods available to us. Join us to explore what and how we eat, and how that impacts us in physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and social ways.
Overview of Session:
We are all expert eaters – we have been doing it all our lives – but eating well is a skill. This online workshop leads participants through a self-assessment of eating habits, then addresses comfort food, safe food, and changing our tastes for better food. Guided by Karen Giesbrecht, a registered dietitian who has spent many years exploring what nutrition can look like alongside vulnerable populations here in Vancouver.
You'll walk away with renewed confidence to make your meals and snacks feel more approachable and nourishing!
This workshop is open to all - no prior knowledge of nutrition concepts necessary!
