Bread Head Talks: Share Your Passion! (C.H.E.W. Program)

Community - Health - Eating - Wellness (CHEW)

CHEW is Bread Head’s program centered on community connections, good eating, health, wellness, and creating collective intelligence . Having a sense of community and belonging keeps people attached to goals and positive outcomes. CHEW events and activities foster a sense of intentional community with a focus on issues, activities and interests that complement our PAN and Gaia’s Gift programs.

CHEW is a series of volunteer-led workshops, lectures and classes that provide opportunities for the community to gather for activities surrounding the program’s central values.

There are many aspects of life that affect physical and mental wellbeing, and through CHEW we want to share tools that support a balanced lifestyle. That's what community is about, being present and being seen as the unique individuals we all are.

What are Bread Head Talks?

Knowledge is power! We want to share the knowledge through a series of lectures by guest speakers centered around food literacy, grocery assistance guidance, mindfulness and more!

BH Talks may be as short as 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. They can be dynamic- live (virtually on Zoom and eventually in-person at Bread Head HQ), with opportunity for Q&A at the end. Talks may be pre-recorded, and shared with participants in webinar format on Zoom and/or added to BH website and/or YouTube channel. Depending on the topic, there may be a blend of all these formats.

BH volunteer speakers would ideally represent our community. If we have multiple subject matter experts for the same topic we can have panel discussions and/or rotate the volunteer speakers.

BH Talks that want to be done live are to be scheduled on Tuesdays or Thursdays based on volunteer speakers availability.

How to lead a class, workshop, or talk?

We encourage participation in all our events to build intentional communities. We come from a trauma informed perspective and we ask you to be sensitive in your communication and expectations as many participants may be affected by trauma. We respect attendees' desire to keep their cameras off if they choose to do so, but also create a safe space and encourage folks to take advantage of what that offers them in respect to their personal journey.
