Mindful Lunch – Healthy Cooking and Employee Wellness

Join the students of FSA 108 for a Mindful Lunch. MCC’s own Renee Dimino and Terry Shamblin will guide you through a reflective dining experience, as you enjoy a healthy vegetarian menu created and prepared by the students of the FSA 108 Healthy Cooking class.  Mindful Eating is about focusing on the dining experience while you eat, including the colors, textures, and flavors of the delicious food.  Dining in a non-distracting environment allows everyone to savor every bite of their meal and to consider their food choices while they eat. To give you a sense of how our experience will unfold, here is the path we will be taking together:

• 12:00 to 12:05 Arriving and settling in
• 12:05 Meal Gatha and invitation to begin our buffet lunch in silence
• 12:05 to 12:30 Mindful eating in silence
• 12:30 to 12:50 Dessert and discussion of the experience of mindful eating

The lunch is on Friday October 24 from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm in Food for Thought (building 3 room 146). Tickets are $5 per person and may be purchased at Food For Thought restaurant from October 6 to October 23 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., or by contacting the Hospitality Office at (585) 292-2542.
