what is the wellness through food programme?

 

the sisterwoman vegan wellness through food programme is a 12-week immersive programme rooted in the philosophy of intentional nourishment — the practice of engaging with food as both sustenance and story, resistance and ritual. centred around the three pillars of community, education, and mindfulness, this programme uses plant-based food as a catalyst to foster connection, deepen understanding, and nurture holistic wellbeing.

​

through interactive learning and shared experience, participants are empowered with the knowledge and tools to create sustainable, community-driven food projects and wellness practices that honour both people and planet. this journey invites you to explore food as a medium for healing, cultural affirmation, and collective transformation.
