Where: Women’s University Club, 1105 Sixth Avenue, Seattle
What: The Puget Sound has been home to humans for over ten-thousand years. A rich ecosystem has sustained these native people, resulting in a bond with the land that provided not just deep meaning but a pattern and flow for life. Valerie Segrest, a direct descendent of the local Muckleshoot tribe, has always felt an important responsibility to continue the legacy of this important bond and to help others see the beauty and value of protecting this knowledge and the experience of connecting directly with nature.
Watching the Tribal Elders inspired Valerie Segrest to learn more about health and nutrition. She returned to school investing her heart, spirit and mind in understanding the deep links between health and the connection to our food. She became passionate about understanding nutrition related diseases and how they are the symptoms of greater problems, not just the problem itself. Through her studies, Valerie became a community educator, a tribal health advocate, and eventually an author of a powerful book resulting from her community based research.
Join WBE for breakfast on December 11, as Valerie inspires us to get closer to our food systems allowing us to heal our land and ourselves, and as we do, we become more invested in protecting them. This involvement provides a layer of nourishment science cannot measure, benefits to our families and communities today, and creates a positive legacy for many years to come.
