Our relationship with food is arguably the most important one of them all as it connects us to our body and mind, nature in so many ways, each other, our ethnicity and culture.

This talk is given at Mount St. Mary’s Desmond Center for Continuing Education at 6 Albany Post Road in Newburgh, NY 12550. Sign-up through their website.

Susanne will discuss our current cultural crossroads as a basis for the thesis presented in her multi-award winning book Deep Living: Healing Yourself To Heal The Planet.

Our singular cultural focus on profit has not only destroyed our environment and our culture at large, it has also made us as individuals oblivious to the things that truly matter in life, and make it enjoyable and meaningful. We will talk about the “new millennial values,” how and why a cultural turnaround must begin within, and how to do so.

The talk is being held at the Albert Wisner Public Library in Warwick, NY.

Susanne will moderate a series of 4 informal, informative, interactive, and reflective chats that invite a deeper connection to aspects of everyday life.

Each talk centers around a selected blog from Susanne's Holistic Living blog and connects with one of its subjects.

All chats are held at the Albert Wisner Library in Warwick, NY and are free of charge.  Dates are Mondays 2/13/17, 2/27/17, 3/13/17, 3/27/17.  Please call the Help Desk at 845-986-1047 x3 to register.
