Memories of the Sourdough Bread Workshop

Last weekend it was very special. We gathered with the ladies to create in togetherness, bond with one another, share stories with an open heart and a free mind.
We connected with the one of the most ancestral food resources and we crafted gorgeous sourdough breads everyone with the unique body + character of their owners and creators.
Openness, vulnerability, softness, connection, and love ... that was The Sourdough Bread Workshop.
We connected with each one of the ingredients through food meditation and we crafted the dough in a sensorial food preparation practice. Connecting with the dough and connecting with our bodies at the same time. Alchemizing the changes, removing the old and making space for the new.
We let the bread ferment and we baked the next day. In a food sharing ritual, we shared the resource we handcrafted infused with love and gratitude for the elements and for Mother Earth. The bread infused with our prayers and our deeper desires.
I feel gratitude for all 6 women for creating this safe space together. For being so brave to show up and connect with one another and with one of the most ancestral food resources - the sourdough bread - through all of our senses. For being honest with any emotion, thought or sensation that would come through via the sensorial tacticle journey with the dough. For being open for the changes that will come through and the emotions that arise up to the surface. For allowing themselves to be soothed by the food and allow the ancestral memories to come up to the surface while activating the senses.
Thank you for bringing in the circle your authentic selves and the sacred energy of your ancestors.
New dates for the upcoming workshops will be announced next week via the emailing list!
Endless love + gratitude to you,
Alexandra
