?️ THE FILM

Scenes in a Coq au Vin (2024, Canada, 14 min) - In Southern France, culinary enthusiasts gather at the famed retreat of internationally renowned chef and food educator Charles X Michel. ‘Scenes In a Coq Au Vin' unfolds against the backdrop of a timeless tradition—the sacrifice of a rooster in making an ancestral Coq Au Vin. As the blade meets feathers, the film delves into our modern disconnect with the origins of our food. The sacrifice, once a communal act, now stands as a potent reminder of our collective separation from the sources of our nourishment. 'Scenes In a Coq au Vin is more than a culinary revelation—it's a meditation on the essence of life, death, and the profound connection we've lost in our modern pursuit of convenience.


? TEA AS PRESENCE: A KOREAN-INSPIRED CEREMONY

Korean-Inspired Tea Ceremony with Melanie Pulla of Water Over Leaves: A quiet, grounding experience of presence through tea. Mélanie Pulla weaves the ethos of Korean darye with mindful ritual, inviting guests to slow down, sip with intention, and reconnect with the simple sacred practice of pouring hot water over tea leaves.
