Shane Brill

March 19, 2025

Join Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Shane Brill for an inspiring talk on the powerful connection between food, health, and the natural world. In this session, Shane will take you on a journey into the realm of permaculture — where learning from wildness presents an antidote to limiting cultural beliefs and a key to unlock the innate intelligence of the human body.

Get ready to learn how symptoms can be understood from a nutritional perspective, and get tactics for supporting digestion and blood sugar regulation to promote overall health. By understanding how food and lifestyle choices enable us to communicate with our bodies, you’ll be empowered to take responsibility for your well-being.

This talk is an opportunity to expand your understanding of health and nutrition while actively engaging in the cycles of life that nourish us. Discover how aligning your inner compass with the rhythms of the earth can awaken your potential to thrive.
