Ryan Gordy Foundation Wellness Day Celebration 2019

January 15th, 2018 – Last Saturday, the Ryan Gordy Foundation in partnership with Teen Cancer America, hosted a “Day of Wellness”, enabling teen cancer survivors and patients to work with master chefs and yoga experts for a day of nutrition and mindfulness.

The teens and young adults explored the world of healthy cuisine through clean eating and simple recipes at The Gourmandise School in Santa Monica with celebrated chefs, essential oil educators and nutritionists. Lessons on yoga, meditation and holistic tips on wellness began the day and educated the teens to the importance of nutrition and mindfulness while pursuing a healthy lifestyle.

Following a field trip to the local farmer’s market where guests were taught the importance of fruits and vegetables, easy to make farm-to-table meals were prepared. Steven Benjamin, Executive Chef of Jean-George at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills prepared his famous Waldorf Astoria vegan avocado pizza and endive salad which were easy dishes for teens to make on their own. Additional chefs included Chef Emanuele, who created a delicious lemon chicken with a spinach salad and tiramisu dessert and Chef Kristopher presented a chicken and vegetarian stir-fry with brown rice. Nutritionist, Sarah Holgen offered mouthwatering chocolate and spinach vegan smoothies.

Anne Menik of doTerra introduced the group to the benefits of essential oils and sent everyone home with a doTerra “Warrior” blend. Additional gifting was provided by event partners: Erewhon, internationally renowned speaker and bestselling author of the book Inner Engineering, Sadhguru, Just Water, Tone It Up and BMW.

Many guests commented how grateful they were to have this special day created just for them – and there were many long goodbyes.

The Day of Wellness honors and celebrates the life of Ryan Kennedy Gordy, late grandson to Motown founder Berry Gordy. Who, after being diagnosed with Leukemia, courageously opted out of chemotherapy to live a vibrant life. The Ryan Gordy Foundation strives to continue his legacy and inspire others to live the best version of their lives through wellness, a healthy lifestyle, education, and resources for prevention while targeting cancer awareness.
