10-6-08 – Eating for Peace & Health, 5:30 & 7:30pm. Will Tuttle, PhD,
If you wonder how the food you eat affects your health and well-being and that of those you care about, you shouldn’t miss this lecture. Will Tuttle delivers a no-nonsense talk about the food we choose, where it comes from, and how it may be slowly poisoning us physically and spiritually. You will learn how we have all become disconnected from nature and how that disassociation impacts our health, our environment, and our spirituality. You will learn how to make positive changes that promote health, encourage compassion, and minimize our ecological footprint on the Earth.
