How to do it, and what you need to know
SUNDAY 16TH FEBRUARY
10.00am - 4.00pm at Derwenthorpe, York
This full day class with lunch is an investment that will support your health and wellness into old age. You will leave with a strong foundation of knowledge for building a plant-based diet for yourself and your family, based on science-supported information and the experience of a fully plant-based lunch which aligns with the principles taught in the class. There is more here about our food.
The class and the lunch are provided by Annette & Graham Henry who as well as living a plant-based lifestyle, are also currently being coached by two of America’s leading plant-based educators.
