Join Dr. Luis Pineda and Chef Jared Danks for an evening of cooking demonstrations and tastings in the professional kitchens of Culinard.

New Program: Mindful Meditation
Mindful meditation is a complementary therapy for treating chronic pain, anxiety, stress and sleeping problems. Meditation is one of several relaxation methods found to be of benefit by an independent panel convened by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In fact, in a controlled study of 90 cancer patients who practiced mindfulness meditaiton for seven weeks, 31 percent had fewer symptoms of stress and 65 percent had fewer episodes of mood disturbance than those who did not meditate.
To help you cope better, we are developing an exciting new mindful meditation program for cancer patients, caregivers and survivors. Watch for more details coming soon!
