Longevity Lunches
Enjoy food, fitness and community for health and longevity in this fun four-week class.
We will be exploring the shared practices of centenarian communities worldwide, preparing
whole-plant-based lunches, and practicing Chen-style tai chi.
Master healthful cooking techniques to prepare tasty classics, like crispy nuggets
and flautas, fresh salsa, stuffed lettuce cups with umami dressing, frosted cake,
fruit crumble a la mode, and a holiday show-stopper. Served build-your-own-style
to accommodate a variety of dietary preferences and needs.
Facilitators Elisabeth DeSwart and Wendy Fertschneider are registered dietitians with
decades of clinical, community and culinary experience. Their approach of equity,
positivity, compassion, and humor aim to welcome all. Sharing delicious food and recipes
is their favorite way to bring people together.
