Nourishing Ourselves into Winter with Food and Herbs
 with instructors Kate Coulton & Paige Common

 

Kate Coulton and Chef and Owner of Eatin Alive, Paige Common will lead participants through a hands on workshop to learn how to prepare for the Winter season.  Attendees will make elderberry syrups and fire cider to take home while learning the folkore and medicinal uses of this age old medicine.  Paige will nourish us with a hearty, warming lunch while we also prepare broths to deepen the support for our immune systems in the coming cold and flu season.  Join us to welcome in the Autumn air as the coastal seasons shift.


Instructor Paige Common: Detroit born and bred, soulful living inspires this gal: healthy diets, hearty laughter and active lifestyle. Paige stated preparing plant-based foods in her Portland kitchen giving life to Eatin’ Alive in 2010.  She believes that a rainbow a day will keep the doctor away. Paige is available for one-on-one health coaching, recipe development, pre/post-natal consultations, small event catering, speaking engagements and classes.

Instructor Kate Coulton:
As a close friend and ally to the plant world, Kate continues forging an inspired career as an herbalist. Her experience as a youth educator, plant cultivator, and former lead medicine maker at Cascade Folk Medicine provides the guiding force for her work with Seed and Thistle Apothecary’s educational programs. As the owner of Pinion Botanicals, she thrives on discovering the creative beauty of bountiful plant material through natural wool dying, floral design, and concocting herbal remedies. Kate’s ultimate passion lies in the collaboration and integration of plants into all aspects of life.

Mindfulness Talk with Shanna Gillette
Oct 20 @ 10:00 am – 10:45 am

WEEKLY EVENT

Mindfulness Talk with Shanna Gillette

Shanna is a certified yoga teacher, ordained metaphysical counselor and empath. Her journey began as a small child inadvertently discovering deep meditation as an escape from abuse. Having always had an interest in the unseen and unexplained, she began having out of body experiences before learning to speak.  Eventually she received a regents scholarship to ASU for religious studies. A series of intense life changing experiences including a serious car accident brought her to the first of several “awakenings,” beginning most notably in 2005. She now helps people through the shift in consciousness we are currently experiencing, assisting them along the path toward self-forgiveness and self-love – the greatest journey of all.  

Truly exemplifying her favorite quote from Kahlil Gibran, “The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain,’ she adds, “The journey to wellness is a constantly evolving process where we learn to nurture body and mind beginning with the heart; To truly understand that the most important step to long-lasting good health and harmony isn’t necessarily about sweating our way to perfect abs or contorting our bodies into painful positions. It starts within. It’s about self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and self-love. It’s about learning to accept and respect ourselves wherever we may be. Through the physicality of yoga, we tune into a deeper more expansive space beyond the trivial day to day. We learn that it’s ok to nurture ourselves and to ALLOW our spirits to be happy.”  

Shanna received her yoga teacher’s certification at Bryan Kest’s world renowned studio in Santa Monica, CA. She attended Arizona State University for Religious Studies, and is currently studying at the University of Metaphysics Sedona. She is available for private yoga and counseling sessions and can be found at:
