Flow of Flavours - A Meditative Dining Experience

Presented by Pedro Fraga and Soak House Adelaide, "Flow of Flavours" is an invitation to immerse yourself in a transformative dining experience that goes far beyond the simple act of eating. In a world where meals are often rushed and forgotten, this workshop offers a peaceful retreat to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover the joy of truly savoring each bite.

As we gather in the calming ambiance of Soak House Adelaide, each participant will be guided through a journey of sensory awakening. Under the expert guidance of Pedro Fraga, we will explore how mindful eating can transform our relationship with food from mere sustenance to a source of joy and spiritual enrichment.

This workshop is about much more than eating; it's a celebration of food as a sacred ritual. By honoring each ingredient and embracing the silence, we allow ourselves to experience a profound connection to our food, to each other, and to the moment.

"Flow of Flavours" also emphasizes the importance of community. In the spaces between courses, where discussion and sharing are encouraged, we forge bonds that are nourished by shared experiences and mutual respect. The act of eating together in silence, punctuated by moments of sharing, creates a powerful, intimate bond. Through this unique connection, we not only share a meal but also create a shared sense of purpose and joy.

Special Notes:

• This event caters to all dietary needs with a fully vegan menu. We encourage you to inform us in advance of any specific dietary requirements.
