ABOUT OUR HOST: Carin McKay has been creating Culinary Magic and building community for over 25 years. She has cooked hundreds of thousands of meals in incredible locations throughout California including the Earth Activist Training. Growing up in Northern California, Carin was immersed in local and seasonal cooking and meshes this with her world travels that have influenced her style. Carin brings the philosophy that the health and well-being of the cook is as important to the outcome of the meal itself. She teaches cooking as a powerful act of connecting us to our ancestors, our communities, ourselves, and nature.
What Is “Culinary Magic”? It’s food for the soul and spirit, attuned to the sun and moon, cooked with intention, skill, and love! In this three part cooking series, chef and cookbook author Carin McKay will introduce us to seasonal cooking, show us how to hone a vision and set an intention prior to preparing a meal, and teach us key skills for making our food both nourishing and tasty! Each week there will include a prep list, assignments, a supplemental video and other culinary adventures along with a live web class in which we cook together. In the final class we will have a live dinner party/ritual enjoying the meal we have made together.
STAY TUNED ~ REGISTRATION OPENS SOON!

A Message from your Teacher:
I designed this Training with the idea that…many people dream of starting their own business without even knowing if they have the personality to be an entrepreneur and without knowing how to get starting creating a viable business and business plan.️ And with the unknown journey through the COVID-19 Pandemic, a shaken economy, and a continually changing climate, how we spend our time and energy is more important than ever.
