El Círculo Despertando is not a cooking class. It's the conversation that has to happen before the cooking matters.
Once a month we gather to look at what actually runs our relationship with food: the beliefs we inherited, the guilt we were handed, the story that says a woman who tends to herself is taking something away from someone else. We look at whose voice is in your head when you eat. We look at what you'd have to believe about yourself to make your own nourishment non-negotiable.
We do this from where we come from. In our familias, the woman in the kitchen was the medicine-keeper. She knew which té for which ailment and which caldo for the season. Somewhere along the way we lost this sacred knowledge and lost the authority.
Each month: one señal your body is asking about, one belief worth examining, and one practice small enough to integrate. You define what wellness means for your life and we work on the mindset and the behavior that let you actually choose it.
Food is not the enemy. It is the medicine and you are allowed to receive it.
