Self-care
Language relating to self-care and clarity about what it is and what it isn’t is essential. Words matter and how we describe ourselves and labelling ourselves in a negative way. Just because we have a hard time doing something we want to do or what does not serve me, does not mean we neglect ourselves. What does holding ourselves accountable look like when we are being self-compassionate? “Finding my own answers to that definitely indicates I am on that journey. What is liberating is knowing there are always choices and being clear about what the options are.” says Kori Kanayama. Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Kristin Neff PhD is a core companion for the self-care journey as is embracing the powerful concept of Internal Family Systems (IFS), a psychotherapy model developed by Richard Schwarz. Kori Kanayama is a community farm chef available for live in chef assignments, group cooking workshops and intimate catering. She lives on a farm and cooks seasonal foods in harmony with nature, respecting the innate favours and goodness of ecologically grown local produce, combining traditional Japanese, Italian and other cultural foodways. Kori cooks and teaches how to cook authentic dishes that nourish and heal from the inside.
