20. Nourishment as Prayer with Sidney Hall
Sidney Hall is a contemplative baker, living into the wisdom traditions of Tantra and Vedanta. She uses her baking practice as a sacred container for the cultivation of joy, creative flow, and service in making nutrient-dense baked goods. When she is not inhabiting the duties of kitchen witch, she is delighting in the sacred union of marriage with her husband and momming two bright wild beings, as well as serving as a functional health coach.
Sidney is one of my favorite humans and our sisterhood is one of my most cherished. This conversation is reminiscent of one of our riverside chats.
