Our Relationship to Food: A Masterclass In Reclaiming Joy, Pleasure, and Connection
This is an invitation to experience one of the sessions guided by our coalition of leading Instructors inside the RegenIntel Fellowship: a transformational program designed for future-ready leaders upskilling today to lead tomorrow.
About the Masterclass
❤️ How might embracing the rich pleasure and sensory depth of food reconnect us—to our bodies, our communities, and the ecosystems we are woven into?
Food touches every part of life. It carries stories, deeply personal and interconnected.
Yet today, global food systems face immense strain. From dietary choices that affect our health and environment, to the staggering waste that drains resources and deepens inequality. But there is space to re-member and restore these connections.
In this Masterclass, Charles Michel - Food Educator, Activist, Experience Designer, and Chief Innovation Officer at To’Ak Chocolate, a regenerative chocolate company restoring rare cacao forests in Ecuador - guides us to push the boundaries of what food experiences can be.
