Health and wellness are largely guided by your kitchen rituals and rhythms. How?

In Ayurveda, it is your digestive fire, your Agni, that fuels your immunity, your ability to receive what life throws your way and what you bring into your body, and your alchemical process of creating Ahara Rasa (life-giving sap) out of it all.

This workshop will teach you how to create something healthy and palatable with what you have on hand. We will go through the 6 tastes, the 6 tools of meal creation (salt, fat, acid, heat, attitude, intention), and kitchen pantry and apothecary staples.

From my kitchen to my clients' kitchens, my strength is taking what I have and creating an enjoyable result. There are certain ingredients to have on hand that can create endless possibilities. Imagination and determination drive the magic. This workshop will be awakening your inner creatrix and inspiring fresh ideas for an empowered approach to any situation - curveballs and all!

*Pre-homework for this workshop: Know what's often in your fridge, pantry, and shelves. Know what you enjoy working with aka YOUR secret sauce ingredients and approach.

Logistics of this Kitchen Alchemy Series:

• You do not need to attend all of these or in a certain order. You will learn a lot of practical knowledge and be given different tools in each session. To make it an easy "YES!" to all 4, go to the "Packages" page and get a discount for attending the entire series!
• Each session you will go home with something to use in your kitchen apothecary and next meals.
• Each session will include an Ayurvedic snack, elevated hydration, and a 15-minute Sound Treatment to help you integrate the new information. PS - I design my classes to be something that I would want to attend! So bring on the snacks, the info I can turn around and use immediately, and the relaxation!
• Why is it called, "Midwest Edition"? There are signature dishes, approaches to food, flavor profile, and weather that color our food cravings, availability, and choices. My approach is to 'pranify' and 'elevate' the ritual of our regional fare and create health that can keep the whole clan happy and healthy (kids, partners, all the roles you play).

Come as you are, bring something to take notes in and with. The Collective Healing Center is located in the middle of errands-land and has a parking lot - an easy pivot point for weekend to do's and quick drop-in for some health coaching!
