Energetics of Food: How Our Food Becomes Us

How do we determine the quality of our food? Is it price? It is slick packaging or special presentation? Is it home-cooked or from a fancy restaurant? How might the ways in which our food is grown or raised influence us as individuals? Which foods are the most nourishing to our spirits, and which ones may contribute to feelings of helplessness, depression and anxiety? Which foods are grounding and focusing, and which foods impart light, flexible energy?

In this workshop, we’ll discuss the inherent qualities of the foods we eat, along with how the ways in which they are grown, raised, harvested, and prepared, might impact and influence our mental, physical, and emotional health. We’ll cover practical ways in which you can shop for foods that positively contribute to your health and well-being and which are abundant in positive energy. You’ll learn to apply the fundamentals of food energetics to your daily life, allowing for more balanced physical, mental, and emotional states.
