A SOMATIC SENSUAL SISTERHOOD ACTIVATION PORTAL

Rooted in South Asian Traditions, this Sensory Immersive Sisterhood Experience will drop you into a deep & safe space where you will voice, move, and breathe out all the old beliefs of competition, judgment, scarcity, and anything that has separated you from your highest expression.

You are the chosen one! Come and learn tools to activate your Goddess Embodiment, and co-create magic with women who will embrace you fully as you embrace yourself in your divine wholeness.

Come to explore your inner landscape, open your womb powers, and empower your intuition, creativity, sensual experience of life, and belief systems.

@jillievarona

My journey in the kitchen started as a young girl. My eyes barely met the countertop, my arms not strong enough to stir, and my knife not yet sharp enough to cut. As I grew into myself as a woman, I also grew into my role as a chef. Stepping into this role has felt like coming home. It feels like piecing together parts of myself; my creativity, my passion, my inner child, my artistic self, and my love of food. These all come into harmony as I am creating in the kitchen and sharing my creations with others.

My mission as a chef is for folks to come together not only to share a meal but to indulge in their eating experiences with love for themselves and reverence for the food; to honor your body's need for nourishment, to release shame around eating, to release restrictive eating habits, and to reclaim feeding your body as an act of love. Consuming quality food with intention and care gives us the power to step into this world embodying nourishment and abundance.

In coming home to myself in the kitchen through creation, I hope to bring you closer to a sense of home within your body as you enjoy food infused with love and intention. I have found what a radical act of self-love it is to nourish and care for my body by feeding it wholesome, healing, beautiful, and delicious meals.

Through nourishing the women at the Goddess Gathering my hope is for women to indulge in the abundance that food can offer us; together may we revel in the essence of growth and community. I truly can’t wait to share a plate with you all!

⫸ As desi womxn, we have been taught to lower our voices and suppress our emotions to “sacrifice” and to “settle”.

✨ In the Health and Wellness space, South Asian Femme feel like we don’t fit in or our cultural issues are not fully understood by facilitators or our peers.
