Human Being featuring Charles Michel

Saturday Apr 20, 2024
Food is more than shelves of items at your local grocery, or the burger we chomp down at lunch. Food is political and spirtual too.
This first episode of Human Being features Charles Michel, a chef, educator and activist who shares how our interaction with food connects or disconnects us from our humanity. How does conscious eating relate to healing ourselves, our society, and our environment?
You're invited to take a seat with Charles Michel on Human Being.
Find out more about Charles Michel through his website, on Instagram, and at Patreon.
