The Roots & Renewal events will take place across the UK in partnership with Totally Wild UK, providing a ‘unique experience’ that blends the art of foraging, wellness and sustainability with a hands-on and immersive experience.
Designed to connect attendees with like-minded individuals who share a passion for food, well-being and sustainability, guests will gain expert knowledge on ethical foraging by enjoying a communal cooking experience with their foraged ingredients.
At each event, The Burnt Chef Project will host a wellness session to promote mental health awareness and wellbeing in the hospitality sector, focusing on the importance of mental resilience and balance. Roots & Renewal sessions will run with one session per month from April – October this year.
Kris Hall, founder of The Burnt Chef Project, said: "We are always looking for new ways to support mental wellbeing in the hospitality industry, and Roots & Renewal is a perfect reflection of that mission. By immersing ourselves in nature, learning the art of ethical foraging, and coming together to cook and connect, we can take a step back from the pressures of daily life and focus on balance and resilience.
“These events offer a unique opportunity for individuals to not only reconnect with the land but also with themselves and like-minded people. We’re excited to bring this experience to life across the UK and continue breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health in our industry."
