Nourishing Self Nourishing Community

Monday – Friday Morning.  Adult – 18+

Join Naramata food writer and author Jennifer Cockrall to observe, uncover, and explore how food connects you to place, community, and each other. On the menu is a program that invites you to slow down and rediscover the wisdom woven through our gardens, kitchens, and tables. You’ll sample ideas that spark a greater shift from scarcity to abundance—recognizing how gardens overflow beyond the individual, how communities hold deep wells of culinary knowledge, and local food systems thrive through participation. 

Spend time in a permaculture garden, learn principles you can apply in your own home garden (or patio!) and communities,and in your life. Visits to local farms and wineries reveal how food choices deeply shape community resilience and economic outcomes. Forage and prepare simple seasonal foods to build culinary literacy to better nourish our minds and bodies.  All of this unfolds in a designated CittaSlow community, where principles in action resist the tensions and disconnection of contemporary life.  Balance practical skills with space to rekindle connections that feed body, community, and soul.
