The Conscious Connection Story
Hi, I’m Sherry.
I’m a Recipe Developer and Nutritionist originally from Queensland.
I grew up cooking with my Mum and Dad, and always loved to pick the hardest recipes in the Women’s Weekly Cookbooks…I’m talking Italian Nougat, Turkish Delight, Marshmallows all from scratch... Growing, preparing and cooking food brings me so much joy and nostalgia, and I’d love for everyone to have this same experience!
“We need connection now more than ever”
If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s how important social connection is. Moving to Melbourne in 2021 and not knowing anyone was a struggle. I didn’t want to join a sports team (my hand-eye coordination is terrible!) and I was having a hard time finding people who had similar interests in personal and spiritual growth. I was lucky enough to find Feel Good Dips which was instrumental in helping me find the most positive, uplifting friendships and inspired me to start something that would also help people in the same way.
I created Conscious Connection Dinners to help others reconnect with food and with each other. Having studied Nutrition in University, I was always passionate about creating positive experiences surrounding food, and what better way to connect people than through the art of cooking. I’ll admit I haven’t always been the best at opening up fully unless I am really comfortable with someone - but over the past few years I have worked really hard to break down my walls, step out of my comfort zone and see the value of vulnerability, presence and authenticity - which I hope I can encourage you to do too.
Conscious Connection dinners are a safe space for people to connect, learn more about one another and food. What may start out as a group of strangers will finish the night as a group of friends. I can’t wait to have you at one of our dinners so I can share my love for cooking and connection with you.
With love x
Sherry
