In North America (and all around the globe) the us In North America (and all around the globe) the use of sweets in celebratory events has been a historical tradition. Though the cultivation of sugar dates back to 8,000 BC, we see the use of sugar in celebratory events as early as 2,400 BC (!) where there is evidence of beekeeping and the collection of honey for honey cakes found at a religious temple near present day Cairo, Egypt. (Hippocrates Health Institute - The Sugar Timeline)⁠
⁠
We also see this in the Hindu/Yoga tradition where bringing sweets to the temple as an offering to the Gods is commonly practiced. Traditionally, before industrial sugar cane manufacturing, sweets were more of a luxury item and were considered “sattvic,” or pure. Of course, this is in reference to sugar in the form of dates and honey which aren’t nearly as taxing on the body as the chemically refined sugar we most commonly use today.⁠
⁠
So, how do we go back to making sugar sacred?⁠
⁠
It all comes back to eating whole foods and preparing food at home. If we all made an effort to only eat sugar when we could prepare our own sweet treats, it would likely lead to much healthier options (no matter if you’re cooking with white sugar or not). ⁠
⁠
If you want your family to be blown away, show up to the holiday dinner party with this amazing (and healthy) pumpkin pie! It’s not going to spike your blood sugar, it’s going to make everyone in the room happy and eating it might even be a sacred act.⁠
⁠
This no-bake pie sweetened with dates and maple syrup is the perfect nourishing dessert to enjoy with those you love. You’re not gonna regret making it. 🥧  And shout out to my sister @marymcquate who inspired us with the recipe. ⁠
⁠

There's something so special about the friendships that make us feel safe, seen and deeply loved.⁠
⁠
We were never meant to carry everything alone. And sometimes, learning to receive love is just as important as giving it.⁠
⁠
In her latest podcast episode, Katie explores the beautiful power of female friendship, the science of social connection and how sisterhood can nourish our nervous systems and support our well-being.⁠

In Ayurveda, digestion is about SO much more than In Ayurveda, digestion is about SO much more than just the food we eat. We're constantly digesting life itself! The sights we see, the sounds we hear, the experiences we have and everything we take in through our senses. 💗⁠
⁠
In this episode of the Spirit Sessions Podcast, Katie takes us back to the basics, exploring the foundational principles of Ayurveda and how they can help us live in greater harmony with ourselves and the world around us.⁠
⁠
🌿 The five elements of nature and how they shape us⁠
⁠
🌿 Understanding your unique mind-body type (dosha)⁠
⁠
🌿 The importance of digestion, daily rhythms and seasonal living⁠
⁠
🌿 How to become more intentional about what we take in through our senses⁠
⁠
🌿 Simple self-care rituals to restore balance and nourish your whole being⁠
⁠
Ayurveda invites us to look beyond what's on our plates and consider how we're nourishing ourselves through ALL of life's experiences.⁠
