Vegetation: Meditation in Community

2. This American Rice: Hannah YGCC


Listen Later

This episode feature’s Tharavada Yoga’s own Hannah (she/her/ella). Hannah Cordero Chen is a daughter to Mexican immigrants, public health leader, philanthropist, and is an aspiring curandera and community healer. During the pandemic she has been exploring what the concept of “(w)holistic care” really means, especially for herSelf. Through the sharing of personal stories we learn how Hannah has transformed her goal  of ‘trying to be happy all the time’  to just letting herSelf feel whatever comes up. . . and learning that light and darkness can coexist. Hannah believes that by allowing more curiosity and ease into her life, she is actively working to dismantle ancestral shame and heal not only herSelf, but also her lineage.

Hannah shares a special chocolate chip cookie recipe she put together for her daughter, who has egg and peanut allergies. This recipe is easy, great to share, and a great way to treat yo’ Self! (get recipe here)

This is a new flavor of the Vegetation podcast: This American Rice! We are so glad you have joined us to convene around the virtual table where we center food as connection, storytelling as medicine, and pleasure as resistance.

Each episode features one of our favorite co-conspirators who will share personal stories about the (sometimes messy) intersections of culture and identity, personal practices, and a delicious recipe we can all enjoy together. By sharing these simplest of pleasures we are weeding out the legacy of manifest destiny.

Hope you’re hungry because here we feast!
