Embodying Tu'B'Shevat
Nourishment from Deep Within
with Kohenet Nancy Wolfson-Moche
January 21, 2021 | Advanced Learning | Event Details
Nancy invites us to relate the process of nourishing our bodies to that of a tree nourishing its fruit.
**To enhance the experience: Plan to participate in your kitchen or a space where you create nourishment. If possible, bring a fresh, ripe pomegranate, a very ripe avocado and a lime. If you can only bring one, opt for the pomegranate. You’ll need a small-medium sized stainless or glass prep bowl and a wooden spoon.
