Mindful Eating with Slow Food

Mindfulness means paying attention. With purpose, in the present moment, and without judgement or agenda.

Being mindful takes us out of our thinking minds and into awareness. In our busy world and busy lives most of us rarely take time to be mindful of our own experiences. This leads to disruptions in our emotional health, physical health, and a disconnection from the simple pleasures in life that are at the heart of everything, especially "Slow Food". As we work together to make the food system more Good Clean and Fair, we must never forget that Pleasure is at the heart of Slow Food.

Mindfulness encourages us to become in tune with flavor, aroma, texture and other sensations, as well as the provenance of our food. It helps us to become more grounded through the very food that we love. Learning the art of mindful eating brings pleasure, health, and a sense of connection to the world around us.

Please join us for a Slow morning in a beautiful and historic setting as Buddhist nun Lhundup Chodon leads us through an experience of mindful eating. We will taste carefully selected tea, fruit, and cheese in a way that will allow us to experience the seemingly ordinary with extra-ordinary attention and focus.

After the guided portion of the morning, we will share local chocolates and chat about our experience together, convivially.
