‘Realign’. The first of many in our new series of dinners centered around healing, both physically and spiritually.

On September 14, 2023 we teamed up with energy healer Maddi Hawkes from Sacred Integration, and Chelsea Gehr, founder of T4T wellness brand Skinned, and merged together the spiritual, wellness, and culinary worlds to create a multidimensional experience, nourishing the body, mind, and soul.  We had 20 women, of all ages, from all walks of life, join us for a group energy cleansing and meditation, followed by a 4-course plant based meal paired with non alcohol wine by Null Wines. Let me tell you - the energy was flowing !!! It was an evening like no other because all my guests came in with an open mind and heart, not knowing how the night was going to go, and head first opened themselves up to the experience. The meal started with a adaptogenic mushroom pate paired with a fennel salad with crushed olives and pistachios topped with burnt orange citrus slices. The main was a warming cashew and chickpea curry over a butterfly pea flower infused sprouted rice, served with pickled ‘lotus flowered’ onions. To finish we had a beet chocolate cake made with Earth & Star Mushroom Chocolate and coated with a black fig balsamic glaze. The chickpeas used for our curry and the puffed quinoa used on top our salad, came from Eat Simpli, a brand who works with producers who use regenerative farming practices to bring sustainable, high-quality ingredients from around the world to you. It’s safe to say that everyone left feeling a whole lot lighter, and a whole lot fuller.

Maddi & I plan to continue hosting these events every equinox because healing starts with community and during times like these, we all need to step out of our day to days and experience an energy shift collectively - and as I always say, there isn’t a better way to connect than over a good meal. Let us be apart of your journey and join us at our next ‘Realign’!
