Participants will learn techniques to enhance awareness of sensory experiences during a meal and will be guided to pay attention to taste, texture, and aroma. This hands-on exercise is aimed to promote a deeper connection with food and cultivate a heightened sense of gratitude for the nourishment it provides. If time permits, the presenter will facilitate a discussion on the impact of mindful eating on overall well-being and its potential benefits, such as improved digestion, better weight management, and enhanced satisfaction with meals.

Time will be provided for a question-and-answer session.
