Your Food Connection
Experiencing the Power and Symbolism of Food to Connect, Transform and Empower. Food is a crucial link to feeling inner peace, and general emotional, and physical wellbeing. How we grow, learn, how we feel is all tied to the food we eat. For some the absence of fresh quality food, is more challenging. Food has the power to bring people together, and to divide. Food quality directly influences learning and general health. Sharing food can convey gratitude, kinship, acceptance, comfort and love.
