Take the opportunity during this season, the time of letting go and renewal, to detox your body. By practicing proper detoxification methods you are able to create a base for rejuvenation and renewal. During this class we will explore detoxification methods steeped in Ayrveda and TCM.

It's no secret that kids today are facing health, learning and behavior challenges at epidemic levels and the role of healthy eating is often overlooked when addressing these concerns for children.  The foods we eat affects how we think, feel and behave. This workshop will focus on moving away from the Standard American Diet (SAD) toward more healthful alternatives to promote good health, behavior and learning for our kids.   The session will also include some ideas for lunchbox-makeovers that provide kid-friendly, healthy alternatives followed by a walking tour through our store.

Chef Steve, a Culinary Institute of America-trained professional chef with his own heart disease-related lifestyle modification experience involving a 70 pound weight loss and a recently completed degree in Medical Dietetics from OSU will very briefly share some of his personal experience and moderate a group discussion.  This is time for people that are personally involved with a lifestyle modification to share in a confidential environment with other people trying to lose weight and control illnesses with diet.  No specific diets or protocols will be discussed in detail; rather we will concentrate on obstacles and difficulties that we all share and gain hope and inspiration from each others' successes.  If you are presently, have been, or are even thinking about doing a lifestyle modification to lose weight or control an illness you are welcome to come join us!  The group will be moderated loosely along the lines of a 12-step program; curiosity seekers or those seeking to sell their own services/products who are not personally invited by the moderator will be politely asked to leave so that the participants can share among others like themselves. Come ready to share with others going through the same things as you...see you there!

Let your imagination run wild with what we might have up our sleeves for events coming this winter!
