Savoring can be conceptualized as both a learnable skill and a lifelong practice, and when pursued by individuals who have been historically marginalized or oppressed, is a radical act of resistance.

Here at The SAVOR Project, we focus upon the mind/body benefits of savoring, especially as it relates to growing, preparing, consuming, and sharing food. We believe that all living beings are interdependent upon one another and when we engage in ethical, compassionate eating behaviors, everyone thrives.

Our core principles include:

• we believe that food literacy is essential to personal, community, and global health
• we celebrate all food stories, especially those that are lost or marginalized
• we believe that everyone deserves access to clean water and nutritious food

Sow to SAVOR is an educational program that incorporates wisdom and resources from the following fields:

• Mindfulness-based programs including MSC, MBSR, and this mindful eating approach, in addition to positive psychology research on gratitude, awe, and joy
• Therapeutic horticulture to enhance well-being through engaged and playful interactions with food
• Expressive writing prompts to illuminate our individual and collective food stories

SAVOR welcomes anyone who is seeking more pleasure, balance, and connection in their relationship with food. Interested in digging in deeper? Stay tuned for classes, workshops, and individual coaching opportunities coming in 2023.
