from Shapeshifter · host Caro Gomez
What if food was more than nourishment—what if it was a language of belonging? In this heartfelt episode of Shapeshifter, I share a story about beans, grief, and the tenderness of loneliness—woven together in a conversation that’s part memory, part ritual, and part invitation to see your own table in a new light.Join me as we explore:Ancestral Language of Food: How cooking—no matter how simple—can awaken memories and reconnect us to those who came before.The Ache of Loneliness: Reflections on the quiet sadness we carry and how moth energy reminds us to honour it, not fix it.Beans as Portal: The magic of gathering around a pot of beans, where honesty and shared stories nourish more than just the body.The Hummingbird and the Moth: How joy and grief can coexist at the table and why tending both is essential.The Power of Gathering: Creating spaces that honour our ancestors, feed our communities, and remind us that we are never alone.If you’ve ever felt the pull of a memory in the kitchen, the ache of loneliness at the dinner table, or the quiet knowing that the ancestors are always near, this episode is for you.Coming soon: Ancestral Awakening, my most honest and transformative offering yet, opens this September.
