Karen Wang Diggs
Learn soul-nourishing steps anyone can do at home, combining the art of cooking, spicery, and knife skills with the wisdom of spiritual traditions and mindful meditation practices — elevating each and every meal into an act of enlightenment.
Whether cooking for yourself and others is your passion, or you see cooking as a tedious yet necessary chore...
... wouldn’t it be wonderful if cooking could become a powerful spiritual practice to center yourself, foster inner peace, and transcend the mundane?
According to Karen Wang Diggs, a certified nutritionist, celebrated chef, you can turn the daily task of cooking into a mindful, meditative practice that transforms your kitchen into a sacred place of enlightenment — all while improving your overall mental, physical, and spiritual health.
As you prepare more nourishing meals for yourself, family, and friends, you can simultaneously be expanding your spiritual awareness through a series of meditative rituals.
Cultures from around the world have long considered the domain of the kitchen to be a sacred place, and the heart of the home.
From an energy and soul-healing perspective, the kitchen is often the only room in the house that contains:
- The 5 elements of the I Ching (water, wood, fire, earth, and metal)
- The 5 flavors of Traditional Chinese Medicine (bitter, sweet, spicy/pungent, salty, and sour)
- The 6 tastes of Ayurveda (sweet, sour, salty, spicy, bitter, astringent)
As you tune in more deeply to your five senses of perception, you can more fully experience and absorb the nourishment from the food and spices in your cooking.
Karen, the chief fermentation officer at Kraut Source and ChouAmi, teaches her students that the simple daily act of cooking, when intentionally combined with wise spiritual traditions and mindful meditative practices, will feed the body and the soul.
When you embark on what Karen calls an edible journey to realization, you can potentially enter states of higher consciousness while preparing meals...
Incorporating sound nutritional principles into your journey can help alleviate common physical and emotional ailments — including bloating from food allergies, brain fog, inflammation, depression, and more — that can keep you from achieving your highest spiritual potential.
Join us for a soul-nourishing 60-minute online event as Karen explains how you can combine the everyday task of preparing meals with awareness training — and equip yourself with the tools to elevate your spiritual awakening — all while improving your physical wellbeing through nutrition-packed, gluten-free, low-glycemic recipes.
As Karen notes, given that cooking and eating involve your sensory perceptions, these meditative practices are an integral step towards synthesizing the opposing yet symbiotic energies of yin and yang, form and emptiness, solidity and impermanence.
She’ll also share how you can merge the spiritual and practical during all your kitchen preparations — and embody what she calls nutritional wisdom within the container of a sacred space charged with spiritual intent.
Join us for this powerful hour with Karen and learn how you can gain the skills and tools you need to turn your kitchen into a sacred space as you cook your way to greater enlightenment... while feeding your body, spirit, and soul.
In this 60-minute free online event, you’ll discover:
- An opening guided meditation to tap into your primary sense of touch, focusing on your skin from head to toe — your largest organ that’s constantly connected to everything around you, including the food you cook and eat
- Karen’s fresh, spiritual, enlightened view of the kitchen, the heart(h) of your home — and why healthy and sustainable cooking is a path to having a grounded, centered, and vibrant life
- The symbiotic relationship between digestion, health, and meditation — and how our gut microbiome affects our mood, cognition, energy, and even longevity
- Why fermented foods and the process of fermentation can elevate our spirituality — and why what we put in our bodies can change the very fabric of who we are
- A unique herbal tea recipe to enjoy along with a morning meditation — and the 3 best foods to have for dinner to elevate serotonin for nightime meditation and restful sleep
During this illuminating event, you’ll also hear about an opportunity to continue your work with Karen in her new 7-week course, where you’ll experience cooking and nourishment as a sacred enlightened spiritual practice that can provide joy, tranquility, love — and a healthier, more sustainable life for you and the planet.
Karen will show you that recipes don’t have to be complicated to transform each meal into a nourishing act of enlightenment.
