Past Events:

Organic Market Tour

Would you like hands-on experience shopping for beans, ume vinegar, tahini, and other exotic and healthy products?  Join me for a tour of My Organic Market in Alexandria, Virginia.  We’ll meet at the back door (by the parking lot), and explore the store – produce, bulk foods, seaweeds, teas, supplements, and more!  Questions, comments, and shopping are encouraged during this informal, interactive event.

Cooking Classes

"Great way to meet people with similar interests while learning how to cook new things that contribute positively to your health." - Elaine Qualter, age 29, Teaching Artist, Washington, DC

Cooking class topics include Leafy Greens, Sea Vegetables, Grains & Legumes, Root Vegetables, and "I Can't Boil Water" Kitchen Basics. Related topics include Herbal Teas & Home Remedies; Condiments, Herbs & Spices; and Superfoods & Smoothies. Which topics would you like to see on the calendar? Email me your suggestions.

Cooking classes are hands-on, interactive events. Participants receive recipes and leftovers. The recipes used are free from gluten, corn, soy, canola oil, and garlic (because I'm allergic to all that). They are free of refined sugar and trans-fats, and ingredients are organic and local as often as possible. Most recipes are vegan, though honey and dairy make occasional appearances. Please email me your dietary requests.

Teleclasses

A Teleclass is simply a class that takes place on the telephone, like a conference call. Once you RSVP, you'll receive the number to call, and a PIN. Dial in at the appointed time, from wherever you happen to be -- home, office, car -- to listen and participate. If you've got lots of background noise, you can mute yourself and just listen. Please note, normal long-distance charges will apply to the phone call. The Annual Spring Cleansing 4-part teleclass series is a popular event! Other past teleclasses include Living Gluten-Free and Stop Singing the Sugar Blues.

Workshops

Workshops are hands-on and interactive. Topics include Medicinal Herbs: Making Herbal Teas and Tinctures; Creating Oils, Salves, and Creams; Uncommon Uses for Common Herbs, and Home Remedies and Immune Boosters.

Courses

Create a Holistic Health course of your own! Gather a group of friends to meet with Tricia every two weeks in a 6-month program -- learn healthy cooking, healthy shopping, and self-nurturing skills. Tailor the group to your needs and interests -- allergies, diabetes, stress management... the possibilities are endless!
