AbundanceBoard2.jpg


Mindful Eating is an effective tool to reduce the experience of food anxiety and mend your relationship with food. Learn about Mindful Eating while you prepare and eat a delicious snack board of your own creation! In this workshop, you will learn the key concepts of Mindful Eating and how integrate the practice into your approach to food. Megan will illustrate the practice of Mindfulness by building your own Seasonal Snack Board. She will then lead the group through a guided mindful eating meditation as we all enjoy the fruits of labor. Prior to the workshop, you will receive a list of supplies, food suggestions, and allergy-friendly recipes to help build your board. 


In this 75 minute workshop we will:

  • Review the Principles of Mindful Eating and learn how to apply them to your daily meal preparation and enjoyment

  • Learn useful Mindfulness tools and other non-diet strategies to soothe food anxiety during the holiday season

  • Have fun building your perfect Seasonal Charcuterie board for the senses with color, texture, and flavor.

  • Get to know seasonal ingredients, their benefits, and ways to cook with them

  • Enjoy your prepared Charcuterie board while engaging in a guided Mindful Eating Meditation.


** This workshop is meant to educate participants on how to use Mindful Eating as a tool to reduce food anxiety. It is geared towards those wanting to learn more about Mindful Eating, those on a specific nutrition protocol to support a chronic health condition, and/or those who have an awareness of their relationship to disordered eating and want to explore ways to heal. This workshop is not meant to replace treatment for an eating disorder. This material may be triggering for those in recovery from an eating disorder, past or present. All are welcome and encouraged to attend, however please reach out to Megan for clarity on whether it is right for you.
