Provençal Journey in Biodynamics: Mindful Eating, Farming & Living
Imagine France’s Mediterranean countryside of vineyards, romantic and rustic farms and peaceful olive groves. The harmonizing flavors of succulent, tree-ripened figs, blooming fields of lavender, local chèvre goat cheeses and olive oil from orchards the Romans planted. This region of southern France between the Rhone River and Italy is known as Provence and has always carried a separate spirit and light than the rest of the continent.
Join anthropologist and chef, Mark Haskell of Friends and Food International, and health coach and food educator, Kim Rush Lynch of Cultivating Health, for a Provençal study seminar on wellness, biodynamic agriculture and natural ways to improve human health and energy.
The program will alternate between study sessions on health and wellness, and field visits throughout the region. We have also scheduled yoga, meditation, shiatsu treatments as part of the program. We will visit biodynamic vineyards and farms, kitchen gardens, regional markets, essential oil distilleries, Roman and medieval historic locations and the home and garden of naturalist Jean Henri Fabre. There will also be opportunities to learn how to cook ambrosial Provençal dishes with local & biodynamic delights, hike in the countryside while foraging for wild edibles and the chance to met Provençal people who make the term "joi de vivre" so applicable to this area.
