Friday Evening Talk: Reverence for The Sacred Meal
Join JoAnne Pavin for an enlightening lecture that takes you on a journey back to the heart of The Meal—a place where food nourishes not just the body, but the soul. In our modern times we are over fed yet under nourished. Digital distractions have disconnected us from the sacred value of food and eating properly. Over time we have seen its direct ill effects on the health of our society.
JoAnne’s journey was transformed two decades ago while studying Yoga and Ayurvedic Medicine in India, where she learned to view meals as sacred ceremonies filled with life force, or Prana. This experience inspired her to educate others on the importance of consciously slowing down and appreciating the meal as an immersive five sense experience. Her travels, including a transformative experience with Peruvian shamans, deepened her understanding of digestion as a multi-sensory experience. She aims to inspire people to return to the fundamental practices of cooking, growing their own food, and cherishing meal experiences together, reconnecting with the mental, psychological, and spiritual benefits of eating mindfully.
In today's fast-paced world, remembering the sacred ritual of eating can significantly impact our overall health and connection to food.If we slowdown, breathe, and remember the sacred ritual of eating we nourish ourselves and others more deeply.
