As we enter the colder months, Earth retreats and rests to prepare for a new cycle of life. While much of the land and its inhabitants slumber, a few crops—including resilient greens and root vegetables—thrive in cooler temperatures, assuring a continued abundance of nourishing foods. We, too, need this time of restoration.
Using activities like meditation and responding to writing prompts, we’ll consider how that wisdom applies to our relationship with food and nature. Guided by environmentalists, mystics, poets and contemporary sages, let’s gather around the winter table and explore ways in which our food choices can support a healthy outlook during winter to foster peace at personal, community and global levels. Come check in with this lively learning community and see what impact this might have for personal and planetary health!
