Join us for a deepening of connection to food and the present moment, with a calm nervous system, gratitude and deep nourishment.
Nourish yourself deeply this winter, bring a lunch and join Abbi Jaffe at the Everything Space in Montpelier for this Nourishing Lunch Series. We will learn about the anatomy and physiology of the digestion system, meditate on desire, hunger, and being full, and we will cultivate a silent meditative eating practice.

Investment for the entire 4 week Series: $30-50 Sliding Scale. Barter and work study possible.
"Communion with Food: In some traditions, monastics want to take their minds off food and focus on the virtues of a spiritual life. In [our] tradition, we do the opposite. We just focus on the food. We see the food as the cosmos. In the Catholic tradition, in the Eucharist you see the piece of bread as the body of Jesus. In the Buddhist tradition, we see the piece of bread as the body of the cosmos. Everything is there. When you chew it mindfully, without thinking, you can see very well all that the piece of bread contains. That is why when you take a bite of the bread and chew mindfully, you are truly in communion with all of life." ~Cafe Gratitude I think.
