Mindful Cooking

  From from the classic Zen Master’s Instructions to the Cook (1237) to the documentary film How to Cook Your Life (2007), cooking and the kitchen have been recognized as providing abundant opportunities for practicing mindfulness, dropping our egos, and developing a sense of compassion. Few things focus the mind more effectively than working with sharp knifes, blazing flames, and pots of boiling liquids. The intensity, territoriality, and passions at play in a kitchen provide a fertile ground in which to observe our minds at play. As we prepare food we are drawn to consider the needs, health, and well-being of those we serve. Cooking can literally help us find our minds.

 

The Shambhala Meditation Center of Washington has teamed with CulinAerie, to offer a day of fun, simple meditation instruction, talks about mindful cooking, and a delicious Sunday brunch (you’ll do the cooking; each person will take responsibility for part of the group’s meal).
