Free preview class tonight on food relationships

This evening from 7 to 8 p.m. at a private home in Spreckelsville, you may learn how to “Heal, Embrace & Deepen Your Relationship with Food" in a free preview of an upcoming course. It will be taught by Mary Lane, a 30-year veteran chef, who has trained in the Taoist 5 Element Nutrition and Plant Spirit Medicine.

”This is not your average cooking course,” says Lane. “We explore each of the elements, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood. We dive into each one and discover how they are woven into everything, and how they affect us on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels.”

”We look at how our relationship with each element supports or hinders our personal journey. We bring this knowledge into the foods we eat, the seasons we eat them in.”

”We explore how the simple act of eating can heal our relationship with rejected aspects of ourselves that the elements energetically embody.”

”We learn how to balance and embrace these elements, how the interplay of them can facilitate transformation and bring us back into harmony with our world, ultimately healing our feeling of disconnection.”

The six week evening course will be held Tuesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., beginning July 3 and running until Aug. 7. The entire course costs $245. To register, you may visit call (808) 263-5514.
