$80 - must pay in advance to save seat. Wait staff tip not included.

This seminar is a relaxed, educational (and delicious) afternoon integrating functional nutrition with Chinese and Ayurvedic dietary frameworks. We’ll explore practical strategies for supporting digestion, energy, hormonal balance, immunity, and constitutional patterns. It’s something I care deeply about- bringing together nutrition, herbal wisdom, and traditional medicine to help people feel more connected to how they eat and heal.

Chef Mandy will be making her signature “lion’s mane crab cakes” (mushroom in place of crab) and other healthy courses family style. We’ll have samples, demonstrations, and break up the didactic with a little qi qong, manual therapy demonstrations, and exercises that help us explore our own relationships to food.
