NOVEMBER 15
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM | | Deborah MacNamara, PH.D.
Nourish: Why Food & Relationship Belong Together |
| Food and relationship were meant to be intertwined, but they have become separated. In this presentation, Dr. Deborah MacNamara will use developmental science to weave together the pieces of the feeding-and-eating puzzle. She’ll draw on the fields of attachment science, neuroscience, developmental psychology, and cultural tradition. Come relish and savour a thought-provoking walk around our most basic human needs and what they reveal about what is truly essential for survival. |
