“Give a man a fish; feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish; feed him for a lifetime”. ~ Lao Tzu
This simple and ancient Chinese proverb describes the spirit and purpose of the Desoto’s Healthy Living Program.
The one-week hands-on program focuses on an organic living experience specifically designed for the person who has decided to make a commitment to a healthier life. A whole body curriculum offers an exciting mix of learning and hands-on participation, designed to challenge and inspire guests to accomplish what they have tried to achieve for years. This achievement and knowledge will provide the stepping-stones to live healthy when guests return home to familiar environment.
Teacher and nutritional Chef Eddie Grosman will immerse guests in daily in selection, preparation and serving of vegetarian, vegan and vegan-raw foods. Many schools and learning programs demonstrate the art of cooking healthy. The participant leaves with the same fear, confusion and uncertainty as when they arrived. Our approach offers a hands-on experience in individual guest kitchens with Chef Eddie coaching and inspiring along the way. Kitchen and Dining Feng Shui, along with composting and various green living methods will be presented in easy to accomplish formats. Rather than just scratching the surface of healthy cooking and living, we engage the student in the process of change that becomes second nature.
Each day includes Tai Chi, Yoga and guided meditation. Experienced teachers will challenge and guide each guest to their ability, and inspire confidence for first timers. Skin care products to repair and condition the body will also be introduced. And, there will be relaxing down time to enjoy and explore the community.
This combination of classes and hands-on living experience at the Desoto Oceanview Inn, with no distractions, will prepare guests to continue using what they’ve learned once they get home. Healthy Living will become second nature to each guest.
