Organizations

The Suppers Programs
Suppers is a learn-by-doing program where you’ll learn to cook, taste and feel your way to vibrant health. Their “recipes” section of their website is phenomenal – allowing you to search for recipes based upon health conditions and dietary preferences. Suppers is a corrective social experience cleverly disguised as cooking and dining events, mostly in private homes. The participants make the food, and a trained volunteer facilitator presides over a meal that is somewhat more choreographed than the average dinner conversation. The concept was developed by Founder, Dor Mullen, who spent several years researching the program design and running pilot meetings to answer the question: How do people manifest healthy change in their lives given the tools of nourishing food and social support? The answer: First practice non-judgment.
