Celebrate with a sumptuous, nourishing meal that pairs the delicious ingredients of the meal with moments of play, connection, poetry, and guided meditation to deepen our presence with the group and our bodies! Designed for Victoria’s personalized nourishing menus, the flow of the dinner invites us to playfully dive into our senses. These experiences will be curated specifically for you and your group, let’s get creative together! Victoria's dinner creation will leave you feeling satiated, your taste buds enlivened and your bodies nourished. Chef Victoria’s Food Philosophy: Every menu will be personalized to the group’s dietary and flavor desires and based on what ingredients are in season and available at the local farms. Sourcing is very much in the forefront of my food. I specialize in actually farm-to-table & organic meals. Meaning majority of my ingredients come from small farms within 20 minutes of me. I often incorporate wild foraged ingredients or ingredients grown in my garden! This means maximum nutrition for you and minimal negative impact on the environment. I work hard to make decisions that are part of the solution, not the problem - for our children & beyond. Cole's playfulness and structured activities during the guided sensory experience are sure to fill the room with entertainment, spark your heart, bring closer connection between the people in your gathering and be a lasting memory of your celebration. A call with Cole is optional, she can show up with an intuitive plan of sensory guidance OR she can have a call with you to tune in with you and your group to create a personalized experience based on who you are, why you're gathering and what you'd like to experience! EXAMPLES of curated experiences for your unique group: For a family dinner with children, more child-like play and connection can be invited in with things such as a treasure hunt, nature games, a song circle, or sharing the experience by feeding a each other a bite of each course. For a business group dinner, playful ways of incorporating team building activities, communication modalities and team bonding can be guided! For a bachelorette party, a more edgy experience with topics on sacred sexuality, blind folded tastings and creating face or hair care care products could be fun!
