If you are tired of the diet rollercoaster and are looking for the deeper connection our shared Eucharist meals challenge us to achieve, this forum is for you! Join Laura Foresta, Trinity Church member and registered dietitian, for this kick-off to a 3-part exploration of mindful eating. We will be encouraged to be fully present when we eat, noticing not only the sensory experience of the food, but the connectedness the meal offers with the source of the food, and the many ways it nourishes our spirit as well as our bodies.
