Food and Faith
Feb 9, 2010
Katherine Miller will be speaking about food and faith from her experience as a practitioner of Evolutionary Enlightenment. Food and faith are two things we all need for our daily sustenance that bring us together with others. Sharing food in the context of faith brings to the fore all the different dimensions of our humanity, from the physical to the spiritual. Katherine will lead us in reflecting on different aspects of faith and food and how our experience of them is evolving and changing. Some of the questions she will address are: How do our motivations and preferences change as our understanding of life evolves? Is the way that we care for our physical being - our health and vitality - reflecting the understanding that we are here for a higher purpose? If so, what do we eat?
Since this evening will be a perfect reflection of coming together to share food in the context of faith Katherine would like everyone to think about the food they are bringing as a reflection of your highest understanding of life. Think energy, color, taste, texture, light!
As the executive chef of EnlightenNext, Katherine Miller is pioneering new ways of understanding health and wellness in the context of conscious evolution and spiritual enlightenment. Her insights and experience have been influenced by spiritual teacher Andrew Cohen, founder of EnlightenNext, whom she has been a student of for 19 years. Her first insight into spiritual life began 28 years ago with the study of Aikido and then Iyengar yoga, which she still practices and teaches today. Her passion for gourmet vegetarian food and optimum health has led to a unique style of cooking that integrates various principles of raw food "cooking," macrobiotics, and the newest scientific research into nutrition. Katherine is currently collaborating with other health professionals on the "Health is Wealth" initiative, a program whose mission is to engender evolution in regards to food and our spiritual, moral and ethical values.
