    Reconnecting with our Food: How Mindful Eating can be used as a Spiritual Tool

    Hello lovelies and welcome back! Food is central to our health, our culture, and the ways in which we interact with one another. The ways in which we grow, prepare, and consume food have connected humans since the beginning of time. Today, Miles and Aria talk about how food can be used as a tool for spiritual connection and as a way to improve your mental and physical health. We look at the history of food through the context of spirituality and religion, discussing how the rise of capitalism has created a collective disconnect from the food that ends up on our plate. We also go on to chat about our personal journey's with food and plant-based eating, as well as suggesting some simple ways that we can develop a mindful connection to our food.

    Hello and welcome back to our second episode of Miles and Aria: A Podcast! In this episode, we talk The Craft, Uber Eats and tarot cards. Aria goes on to give a rundown on the overturning of Roe vs Wade in the US, and its relevance to us here in Australia.  Finally, we dive head first into the topic of body hair, examining the societal norms surrounding body hair on men vs women through the lens of our own personal experiences. Miles discusses the history of black hair and how it was used to strip POC of their culture and identity, and assimilate POC into white, European culture.  Thank you so much for listening!
