Food can be a tool for grounding down and staying nourished, two vital foundations for moving through change.

Change can come in the form of the postpartum period after childbirth, getting back to work after parental leave, recovering from gender affirming surgery, being cared for or caring for a sick or injured person in your community, navigating a climate disaster, moving homes or simply entering a new season of your life.

It can be hard to organize the help you need when you’re inside big moments of change. In this class we will be learning about ways to organize and prepare meal support for these periods of recovery. We will:

-Discuss how to optimize a meal train

-Learn how to use preservation when meal planning for extended periods

-Learn to make veggie broth and bone broth

-Discuss tea blends that can help your body ground down and heal

-Discuss what foods help your body ground down and heal

-Discuss seasonal variations to support healing year round

-We will make and take home a hearty veggie or chicken soup using local ingredients

-You will take a homemade tea blend with you
