Playful eating workshops

Playful eating workshops

Do you dare to get playful with your food? Have you ever questioned the way you eat? During the playful eating workshop I challenge participants to approach their food differently. Maybe your food has to tell you a great story or it wants to connect you with your body. Considering how you eat may result in sensorial, mindful and intuitive experiences that bring great pleasure to the act of eating!

 Completely tailored to your needs the workshop will enable you to dive deeper into the theory of secret seasoning, a framework for playful eating that I created together with Ferran Altarriba Bertran. It’ll get you out of your comfort zone into an experimental and playful mind of state.

The playful eating workshop is great for teambuildings, family gatherings, art events, exhibitions and more!

Scripted

Scripted

Food is everywhere nowadays. It is instantly available in restaurants and stores, advertised on every corner of the street and has also been sneakily integrated into our social media feeds.

Have you ever paused to become aware of the context in which you are making food choices?

During Scripted you’ll get served different scenarios that speculate on the future of our food choices. It is a three-course meal that offers different future perspectives, raises questions and is accompanied by delicious food. 

Are you communicating effectively towards the future you would like to see?

Wij namen deel met 16 collega's aan het belevingsdiner Scripted. Het was erg fijn om samen over de toekomst van onze voeding na te denken tijdens een gezellig etentje. De verschillende voorgelegde scenario's zorgden ervoor dat we de toekomst echt konden beleven, dit resulteerde in erg grappige momenten en interessante discussies!

The concept of Scripted was created and validated during the scope of two residencies: the Mise en Place program at Deli Social (Lausanne, Switzerland) and the Foodways residency at Timelab (Ghent, Belgium). 

Komoon

Komoon

How might we improve mealtime experiences for families with a child with an eating disorder? Is there a way to help parents to support their child better during meals at home?

About the project

For parents of children with an eating disorder, family meals become a real struggle.  Komoon comprises a product-service-system that helps those parents in dealing with shared eating in an encouraging and effective way. 

The support that the product-service system provides, enables the parents to determine and carry out an appropriate approach during the meals with their family.

This project was developed within the context of my thesis in order to get my Master’s Degree in Product Development (Industrial Design).

A human centered approach...

Interviews

Through in-depth interviews with on the one hand parents with children with an eating disorder and on the other hand therapists, dieticians, psychologists and other professionals in the field, I acquired insights in the complex disease and it’s effects on the family.

Brainstorms

A lot of brainstorm sessions were organized during the design process. I organized sessions together with other designers, and with parents of teens and with experts on the field. A lot of ideas to fit the needs of the target group were generated during the sessions.

User tests

A lot of different prototypes were made. Families with teenagers and families with teenagers that have an eating disorder tested those prototypes during a period and gave a lot of feedback on them. The insights I acquired from the tests made sure that the final design of the personal element fit the behaviour and needs of the families.

Food meditation & storytelling

Food meditation & storytelling

Acting as a food appreciation facilitator, Elise aims to enable participants to enjoy food mindfully. 

During a food meditation and storytelling session, the partakers are guided through a story that is scripted around a certain food item. Whilst they are led into a completely different world, all of their senses will be engaged. The delicious story has an educational value as well as enables participants to connect with both the food item as well as their bodies.

Cookie meditation

During the cookie meditation session participants are invited to envision and visit a bakery in the middle of a green grassfield. There they meet the baker who shows them how he is making the cookies, making the participants smell, knead and taste. In a slow pace, partakers were taken through a conscious eating experience whilst enjoying a freshly baked cookie in a very mindful way.
