What an absolute honor to be invited by my dear friend Naomi to guest chef for such a beautiful circle of women.💝 There is something so special about cooking and creating magic meals inside a sacred container… when the energy is open ~the hearts are soft, and the gratitude flows both ways. These women were so gracious, joyful, and such a dream to cook for💎🙏🏼💕🪷
I got to play in the kitchen all week — creating colorful, vibrant, healing plates (you know I can’t help myself with my rainbow food art😆🌈) — and I was especially excited to work with white pine berries for the very first time. Apparently they have a tiny little window of a season here in Florida, and I felt so lucky to catch them. There’s something so magical about working with rare ingredients that only appear briefly… like a whisper gift from the land.🍓
We definitely had some intense energies with the eclipse window and crazy planetary alignments but It was a beautiful week of flow, sisterhood connection, ocean time white sands & lots of Seashells🐚🧜🏼♀️🥰.
Now I’m soaking in a couple more days exploring sweet St. Augustine, resting and integrating… before heading back home to San Diego tomorrow✈️
Grateful & Inspired & Full heart 💛
