Eat, Play & Love, An Evening of Connection, Sensuality and Food Medicine

This unforgettable evening was a deep exploration of connection and sexual energy through food, as understood and celebrated within Chinese Medicine.

Co facilitated by Sexuality and Relationship Coach Beth Wallace and Joanne Faulkner of Shiatsu and Conscious Cooking, the gathering wove together conscious connection, playful exploration, and nourishing food medicine. Together, Beth and Joanne guided participants through delicious recipe demonstrations alongside gentle, fun, and insightful connection exercises, creating a space to truly Eat, Play and Love.

Through the lens of Chinese Medicine, we explored how food influences desire, vitality, and connection, and how certain ingredients can awaken sensuality, pleasure, and aliveness. Participants were invited to reflect on and experience their relationship with food, playfulness, and sensual energy in a safe, inclusive, and alcohol free environment.

The evening included the preparation and tasting of beautifully stimulating vegan recipes rooted in Chinese Medicine principles, including
Liquid Viagra Shots
Simple Seaweed Salad
Black Sesame Sweet Grapes
Raw Chocolate Seed Bombs
Vanilla Dusting Powder

Each recipe was designed to support real sexual health, vitality, and embodied pleasure.

This shared experience offered space to
Meet and connect with new people
Learn how food influences sexual wellbeing and vitality in Chinese Medicine
Discover how to prepare delicious, healthful, and stimulating foods
Enjoy a gentle journey of self discovery
Explore sensual connection with others, always through choice and consent
Learn how food can deepen intimacy with yourself and with others
Experience how nourishment can erotically charge both body and connection

Whether people came alone, with a friend, partner, or lover, the evening was filled with warmth, laughter, curiosity, and genuine connection. It was a celebration of the human body, human energy, and the joy of sharing space together.

The event was fully clothed, consent led, and open to all adults over 18, welcoming all genders, sexual orientations, nationalities, spiritual paths, and relationship styles. It stood as a reminder that pleasure, nourishment, and connection are for everyone.

A truly unique and heart opening evening, one that continues to ripple outward through the people who shared it.

Energy of Food Blog

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere spring is just around the corner which traditionally means a good clear out. A Survey carried out by the Soap and Detergent Association in the USA revealed that 98% of us feel good about ourselves when our house is clean and 60% say that spring is the best time to rid the house of dirt and clutter.

The same is true in Chinese Medicine, Spring is traditionally the time to clear the mind and body of unwanted build ups, to stretch and move with the upward dynamic energy of Spring. The organs traditionally associated with this energy and time of year are the Liver and Gallbladder. Their job is to clear the body of toxins, aid flexibility and flow in the body.

A common problem arising when these organs are not taken care of are Gall Stones. Each year in the United States, approximately 1 million people are newly diagnosed with gallstones and approximately half of these cases, the Gallbladder will be removed. However this need not be the case, many foods can help the gallbladder dissolve gall stones.

In Chinese medicine, the colour green is linked to the Liver and Gallbladder and all green foods will help Gallbladder function. So spinach, watercress, broccoli and kale work really well. Apples and pears are used to moisten pathways and soften hard build ups such as Gallstones in the body .

Fresh lemon juice contains the phytochemical limonene which improves liver function so a simple splash of lemon juice in hot water will wake up the Gall bladder and Liver, Spring Cleaning the body from the inside out.

Juicing is an ideal way to improve liver function as it increases the release of enzymes within the body which can sometimes be lost through cooking. Enzymes are essential catalysts for all chemical reactions such as digestion, immunity, regeneration and metabolic function.

Some enzymes are produced within the body and some come from the food we eat and are key to nutrient absorption. Most raw, fresh pressed juices are easily absorbed by the body meaning all that super food is getting to working for you instantly.

 

The following is a perfect liver cleansing juice as it contains all of the above three groups. Feel free to change the amounts to suit your palate. . If you want to increase the power of this juice sprinkle over a teaspoon of spiriulina which is is one of the best plant sources of vitamin B12 essential for the functioning of cells and tryptophan which helps the body produce the anti-stress chemical seratonin

  • 1 large carrot
  • 2 stalks celery
