FAQ


What is Group Edition?

Group Edition is a community workshop version of Life and Health online programs. Our online programs were initially introduced as DVD/online courses for individuals, so that they could go through the courses from the comfort of their own homes. But Group Edition brings people of like minds together, to create a supportive community that shares the same goal: reclaiming health, step by step, together.


What does a group workshop look like?

The workshop is structured to take place over 6-8 sessions depending on the course. That can be one session per week for one and half to two months, or even a session per day. (The recommended schedule is two sessions per week.)

Each session is about 1-2 hours, give or take, depending on how group discussions go. The session includes a video that is segmented by discussion questions. At the end of the session, group participants can sample a plant-based recipe that was either prepared in advance, or can be cooked together.


Who can start a group workshop?

Anyone! That’s precisely the beauty of our group workshop. As long as you have a passion for empowering people to regain their health, you’re absolutely capable for running a group workshop.
