Words Don’t Teach. Life Experiences Teach!
"Tell me, I may forget.
Show me, I may remember.
But Involve me, and I'll understand forever."
Experience the KNOW-HOW for CLEAN, LEAN LIVING!
Community Experiences: Gatherings, Events, Classes, Workshops, Talks
We all may have the "know", but without the "how", it doesn't do much good! I am a true believer in experiential learning – we learn and grow best through doing and experiencing rather than being told what to do and not really knowing why or how to do it. Earth and Water Wellness wants to make health and wellness accessible to all, offering dynamic group experiences and learning events in the form of group talks, workshops and gathering opportunities for individuals, groups and organizations interested in bringing balance and strength into their collective lives. Formats and fees vary per group, event and experience. Contact us for details.

with food! I have a fabulous line of

presents an opportunity to discuss modern agriculture and enjoy some delicious
seasonal food in the process. Not sure
how to do this? No worries, that’s my
job! Once the event is booked, menu options will be provided.
Once the menu is chosen, a list of ingredients that the host is responsible for supplying will be
provided. The party hostess is responsible for supplying some ingredients and the rest will be provided by us, along with the coordination and facilitation of the entire event...from invites to RSVP's Thank-Yous!
Let’s Shop: Schedule Your Healthy@Home Immersion!
Supermarket Slim-down Solutions Grocery shopping can be an arduous task as it is. Now that you are trying to eat healthier and for people with special considerations (allergies, gluten-sensitivity, diabetes, hypertension, weight management) it can be even more trying. Everyone should have a good idea on what to look for when shopping. I will walk you through a grocery store and provide you with information on what to look for as far as food choices, what to avoid and how to read labels.
