The First Lezak Institute examined food policy and its implications in the current public health crisis plaguing our nation. From Agricultural Policy to Making Dinner we focused on what we can do in our lives, our communities and to change national policy to improve our health and the economy...and it tasted good too!

Westwind is one of the most beautiful places on the Oregon Coast. It is a center for retreats, education and research with over 500 acres of wilderness beach, salmon-bearing rivers and upland forests and meadows. In this setting participants and their families can share common space, common food, and a sense of community. Besides interactive sessions, there will be plenty of time for walks on the beach, informal conversations, recreation, campfires and fantastic food. The Institute is limited to 100 people.
