An introduction to The No Trash Diet:
The No Trash Diet is based on the premise that the only truly holistic and healthy diet is one that does not contain poisons and causes no pollution or environmental damage. And that eliminating trash from your food is the simplest, easiest, cheapest, most impactful and healthiest diet possible. After an in depth explanation of the concept, methods and strategies are introduced such as:
Growing and foraging our own pollution free food and medicine.
Establishing community food networks trading, bartering and/or purchasing from local growers or neighbors who adhere to organic, natural, regenerative practices.
How to eliminate or greatly reduce plastic packaging and other pollutants when sourcing and storing foods.
The event will conclude with some no trash food tasting and tea!
The No Trash Diet doesn’t necessarily change what you eat, but is very likely to change where you get it. And it will immensely improve the quality of not only the food you eat but the whole experience of cooking and eating becomes an experience of creativity, health, connection, community and joy.

About Geoffrey Haun:
From a young age Geoffrey Haun chose an alternative, non-materialistic lifestyle focused on art, meditation, yoga and nature. After high school he moved to the Providence Zen Center in R.I. for a few months where he did a work exchange in their organic garden and began learning the foundational practices of Zen meditation with Zen master Seung San. Geoffrey then spent a year exploring the United States and studying environmental education with the National Audubon Society's Expedition Institute, a traveling school accredited through Lesley College among others. He then spent a month living at the Cambridge Zen Center in Cambridge Mass. before spending the next four years attending the SMFA in Boston with a major in painting. During this time at art school he began learning Taijichuan and Qigong at YMAA under Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming. He later continued to learn Taiji and Qigong in CA with Grandmaster Chi-hsiu Daniel Weng, Grandmaster K.C. Moa and Sifu Bryant Fong. While in CA, Geoffrey also began learning Tantric and Dzogchen meditation in the Kagyu and Bon traditions with Kagyu monk Govinda and Bon Rinpoche, Tenzin Wangyal and began to delve more deeply into yoga under the tutelage of John Marino at the Yoga Society of S.F.
Geoffrey later became a certified yoga instructor after completing the Advanced Yoga Teacher Training at the Sivananda Vedanta Ashram in the Bahamas. It was also in CA that Geoffrey met master body worker John Elke and began a three year study of Amma massage and Taoist five elements theory. He became certified to practice through the Acupressure Institute in 2002. During the winters of 2014, 2018 and 2019 Geoffrey spent a total of nine months at the Chaikuni Institute in the Peruvian Amazon where he worked on a large Permaculture project, taught yoga, meditation and qigong, living and working closely with indigenous Shipibo healers and herbalists.
