Chef Lisa's Lunch for a Year

Lunch time at school led to the grand unveiling of what your mom packed in your favorite lunchbox. And if you were a child of the 90s, it was probably "garbage" by today's standards.

Yogasana and Meditation Workshop with Brett

Teresa of Avila famously said that, "The honey of bliss is in the hive of the heart." Meditation is a millennia-old practice that has many practical benefits, including having to sleep less, feeling more relaxed and whole, and being able to control the ever-straying mind. Meditation is tricky, however, as there is much misinformation about what meditation is, and how to "do" it. In fact, in the Dhammapada the Buddha asseverates that meditation is the most difficult practice one can do, period. Tandem parent and Latin teacher, Brett Brunner, who has been meditating now for over seven years, shares his knowledge concerning this time-honored technique for calming the sem. For up to three people. Nothing needed beyond a meditation cushion and an open mind. This session will last between ninety minutes and two hours and will include the practice of several meditation techniques in the hope that the workshop attendees will take home a utilitarian personal praxis.

Sign up and purchase one slot per person.

The Lore and the Lure: Iconic French Wine Tasting

Moira Smullen of Rabelais Wines returns for another entertaining wine tasting. This time enjoy Iconic French Wine Regions: The Lore and the Lure. Before the Romans arrived with vine cuttings to Gaul, French winemaking had a rich and fascinating history with tragedies, triumphs and, most of all, gorgeous wines that thrill and seduce. Spend an evening discovering the flavors that have shaped the world's understanding of wine and the stories behind these magnificent creations. We'll taste wines from France's most famous wine regions: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Rhone Valley and see how circumstances, events, happenstances, and dumb luck have ushered France into the most premier winemaking country in the world. Hosted at the home of Melissa and Galen Warren on the evening of September 23, 2017. Sign up and purchase one slot per person.
