Fall Community Dinner
Natural Approaches for Cold & Flu Season
October 12, 6:00-9:00 pm, at The Wellspring in Wooster, Ohio
You know those dreaded symptoms that sometimes sneak up on you as the weather cools down?
- Maybe you’re throat feels just a little dry and tight.
- Your breathing might feel a little stuffy and congested.
- You might even get hit with some fever and body aches.
Cold and flu season might come around every year, but you don’t have to be caught off guard. We’re here to help with our fall community dinner!
Your Evening With Us
When you join us, you’ll experience a delicious and nourishing catered dinner from Deb Geiser of Quince Catering while you soak in the scenery at The Wellspring, a beautiful event venue in Wooster.
Your gluten-free meal will feature local and organic ingredients. While you eat, you’ll experience live piano music and encouraging conversations with old and new friends.
Then, you’ll enjoy short, helpful presentations on how to stay well when sickness is going around.
- Lori Bryant will share her best tips on eating for a healthy immune system. She knows how tough this can be, especially around busy holidays when there’s sugar everywhere. But she knows it’s possible and will help you find ways to do it.
- Kristen Smith will demonstrate how to make her family’s favorite cold and flu remedy: Fire Cider. You can make this flexible kitchen remedy with ingredients from your average grocery store and customize it to fit your family’s taste.
- Finally, you’ll hear from Yvonne Fey, a licensed massage therapist. She’ll help you understand your lymphatic system, why it matters during cold and flu season, and how you can support it with simple self-massage techniques.
