Food is Memory: Ayurvedic Cooking Workshop and Dinner

with Patwinder Kaur and Patricia Buraschi

Sunday October 7th 3pm-7pm, Brooklyn, NY

“The food cycle is our complete memory. It is the constant remembering of our body. Food is memory. Memory is being. Eating is remembering.”


The earth has been continuously refining herself from the beginning of time. Every species she contains contributes to the evolution of the universe. Each tree and mountain, cloud and stream reflects the light of the universe. Cosmic memory is held and refined by the genetic code, the DNA, of all life-forms. Our cognitive relationship to food can unravel the vast mystery of being in time and space. Food takes us through the complete cycle of being, from the original cosmic seed to the fragile sprout, to the flourishing plant and its fruits.Ayurveda is rooted in Indian’s most cherished scriptures known as the Vedas, which date to about b.c. 1500. Of the four Vedas, two of them -the Rig Veda and Atharva Veda- give detailed information about healing, surgery and longevity. From the rich legacy left us by the Rishis , we learn what we are now coming to know again in the west: transgressions against Nature’s laws, against our own inner wisdom, are the cause of all disease.Our cognitive relationship to food can unravel the vast mystery of being in time and space. Food takes us through the complete cycle of being, from the original cosmic seed to the fragile sprout, to the flourishing plant and its fruits.

Nuture: Homemade organic food for mommies and families to be

NURTURE

About two years ago my soul sister Laura called me up the night she was in labor to ask me if I could come spend some time with her and her husband, so he could rest and she could have another female energy around.

Without a doubt and not knowing what to expect I said yes. Fourteen hours later, after massages, reading guided meditations, a bath with aromatherapy, surges, pain and some sleep I was witnessing my first birth only from a few feet away. This amazing moment awakened honor and deep respect for all the mothers and fathers, understanding that sex is a sacred act and it should be treated as such. Realizing also that it is with the effort of many and a clear and genuine intention that great things can be achieved. That harmony arrives after many trial and errors and surrendering to what is. A strong sisterhood bond materialized effortlessly between us during the whole 14 hours, a deep understanding and communication that can’t be explained but it is there. We both know we are there for each other no matter what, whenever we need. Making me part of this beautiful moment Laura helped me discover this innate soothing doulistic skill I carry in my vibration. It is then that friends and friends of friends started calling me to have me around during their pre and postpartum weeks. This calling led me to discover with their help that having home made food in their freezers for the weeks before and after birth makes the transition time easier and smoother. Laura called me to join forces again fro her second birth, this time I spent 6 weeks with her family, which allowed me to see the day to day of what it means to lead a family with grace, love and intuition no matter what the circumstance is.

After helping her my friend Kasia, who is due April 14th, asked me if I could be with her during her birth and with honor I accepted this request. Again the food matter came up so I cooked fresh home made food for her to have for the next four weeks. I am now opening up this door to let all the moms to be know that I can be there for you, either preparing food at your house to let the yummy sacred flavors inspire nurturing vibrations or deliver the food to your house.

Annapurna is the Hindu goddess of food and cooking. Annapurna is empowered with the ability to supply food to an unlimited amount of people.

Sacred Home delivery : Private cooking + healthy living habit class

The time I spent in India last year has been very nurturing and grounding for my soul and artistic expressions.

Gnocchi del 29, which I have been sharing with all of you for two years, holds the essence and integrity of the web I am describing.

Intuitive gourmet cooking: I am lucky I was  able to spend almost a decade with and around professional Chefs since my early twenties, giving me exposure to high end food products and cooking techniques. During which I also cooked professionally for three years in high end restaurants and for private clients. One of my gifts is  being able to create with what is available to me at hand. I have a strong sense of taste and creative mind to combine flavors into harmonious blends. For this private cooking session I can utilize what you already have in your fridge or design a menu considering your food preferences.

Pranayama: Pranayama is used in yoga as a separate practice to help clear and cleanse the body and mind. It is also used in preparation for meditation, and in asana,the practice of postures, to help maximize the benefits of the practice, and focus the mind.

Didgereedo sound bath: The Didgeridoo  is a wind instrumentdeveloped by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia at least 1,500 years ago and is still in widespread usage today both in Australia and around the world. Sound healing works on the belief that the human body is not solid. Rather it is energy that is held together by sound. Any disease therefore indicates that some sound has gone out of tune. Sound is used in many forms to heal and balance energies, each chakra relates to a musical note and each color corresponds to one of the charka in our body. I have received and given many Sound Healing Sessions and it is a great way to release pain, emotions or simply to relax and enjoy.

Awakening your Senses: A Tantric Banquette Ritual: In the West Tantra is directly associated with sexuality; however sexuality per se only one facet of this elaborate spiritual practice, as a representation of the union of the soul with the Goddess. Yoga, meditation, food and art are some of the techniques and practices by which one can approach Tantra.  Awakening Senses Banquette is a safe sacred Tantric ritual to tune in and surrender to our senses of  smell, touch, hearing and taste. My first experience participating in an Awakening Your Senses Banquette was led by Indian
Yogini Monika Nataraj. It was an ecstatic and healing ritual and I immediately had the urge to share this amazing experience with others.
