Kamayan Gathering

​
​
​
We’re excited to share this creative culinary experience with you this summer. A collaboration with Nolan Miranda & Armando Breiz of Babboi.sf, a local Bay Area Small Business that specializes in Filipino food. BAB BOI is a play on words of the Tagalog Filipino word meaning pig or pork- the ultimate symbol of indulgence. In addition, pigs are diligent, compassionate, and generous- qualities that are reflected in Filipino cuisine and culture.
In the art of indulging, this experience will titillate the five senses in appreciating the richness of life where history, culture, and flavors happen simultaneously.
Kamay is the Tagalog word for ‘hand,' traditionally Filipinos ate their food with their hands, giving the name Kamayan. Kamayan feasts are enjoyed when a whole community shares a variety of Traditional Filipino cuisine spread on fragrant banana leaves. Kamayan upholds the values of fostering community, sharing, cultural pride, and togetherness.
An invitation to experience an intentional space for connection, remembering we have stories to share and celebrate our differences. With our different lived experiences and ancestral backgrounds, we all aspire to love and belong.

In collaboration with Ayurvedic Chef, Alexandra Sargent, her offerings include a plant-based 3-course dinner curated with beauty and sensuality infused with the fragrance of gratitude. An evening soaked in grace and worthy of love.
​
Ayurveda is a 5000-year-old science of living from India. Ayurveda can teach you that both diet and lifestyle are important when it comes to transforming your relationship for vibrant health. Alexandra weaves the ancient wisdom of food and modern living beyond the boundaries of India.
​
This is an experience that brings in ceremony and prayer to honor and promote a conscious connection with food. When we remember food is one of our richest connections to the planet, we practice reciprocity with the land.
​
We're inspiring slow, intentional living as an antidote to a hectic life. An invitation to remember to treat yourself sacredly, staying invested in yourself and the world within and around you. This gathering will be set in a private residence in Albany, CA.
