The Dirt Cure

Our understanding of food and how it impacts health is ever expanding. We now know that food, and therefore our own health, depends on more than what we see on our plates. It is the product of diverse communities of microbes, mycorrhizae, minerals, soil, plants, animals and much more. This session will cover ways that our physical, mental and spiritual health depend on our ability to be in respectful community with the natural world.
