Food as Medicine: The KitchenQi Experience

When: 
Saturday, April 4, 2026
Where: 

Berkshire Botanical Garden

Experience the healing synergy of movement, food and intention in KitchenQi on Sat. April 4 from 9 a.m. to noon, for an immersive workshop developed by Carole Murko, healer, culinary instructor and founder of Love.Eat.Heal. This spring session focuses on the wood element, supporting the liver and gallbladder organ systems and inviting growth, creativity and emotional flow. The workshop begins with a guided Qigong practice to awaken energy and connect with the season’s rhythm. Participants then move into the kitchen to cook and share a meal, exploring how conscious food preparation can nourish body, mind and spirit. Using vibrant greens, sprouts and sour flavors, you’ll learn seasonal techniques to energize the body, support detoxification and promote emotional renewal. Through this experiential class, you’ll leave nourished and grounded, with recipes, seasonal practices and a deeper understanding of how to use food as energy medicine. KitchenQi blends neuroscience, energy medicine and ancestral wisdom to cultivate wellness from within, making it perfect for anyone looking to align with nature's seasonal flow while activating their own inner healer.
