Our Relationship with Food – Cancelled

Unfortunately, we have to cancel this class, but we may offer something similar during the Spring 2027 season.

We are excited to have Debra Spector, MS, RDN, CDN, who is a Registered and Certified Dietitian/Nutritionist, with us at Sangha Education Center this season for an inclusive community class open to the general public for all to learn from and enjoy. 

Debra will utilize her expertise to teach participants about “Our Relationship with Food,” which impacts all of us differently. Young people and other community members attending can learn how to eat in a way that is helpful and healthy. We will participate in a guided discussion where we come to understand typical vs. disordered eating and how an eating disorder doesn’t “have a look” a certain way. In addition, we can come to realize that foods aren’t necessarily “good” or “bad”. I am sure that everyone will be happy to see that there is a way to make “all foods fit” and that we can develop our relationship with food.

Following Debra’s workshop, we will embark on a surprise food sampling to expand our exposure to food with something for everyone (including gluten-free options). We look forward to Q&A and sharing thoughts about what we’ve learned while appreciating food together.

More about our guest speaker… Debra Spector has a private practice on Long Island, NY (est. 1990) where she specializes in eating disorders and other clinical disease states. An important element of her practice is the philosophy of the anti-diet movement and body size acceptance. She is thrilled that her award-winning book: “The Things I’ve Seen People Do With and Without Food” has helped people gain a better understanding of the internal struggles that many who have eating disorders face and she continues to look forward to assisting our local community.
