Tea & Happiness

04/10/2025

Dear beautiful friends,

Thank you for giving me your time to practice as a trainee Shamanic Healing Arts practitioner. 🙏 I appreciate and respect your time from the bottom of my heart.

I have an important note to add and I sat with this for a while before deciding to openly address it.

I feel compelled to write this reminder....

When, for any reason you can't make it, please let me know as soon as possible. I have a waiting list of a few volunteers who are keen to accept sessions when they become available and I have deadline submissions to complete.

How my auto booking process works:

- booking confirmation is sent to you straight after you booked a date

- a gentle reminder is sent to you of our session one day before (I m changing this to three days from today)

- details are sent to you with Zoom password 30 mins prior to our meeting to prepare

I Ve set this up on Calendly with ample automated notifications to allow for cancellations and to notify those on the waiting list immediately.

Please consider and respect my time and others' time 🙏

My Shamanic Healing Arts sessions are on a Feedback exchange only basis until March 2026. This might have created a misunderstanding.

Why do I not exchange an agreed value for sessions now?

- I am a trainee practitioner. My exchange is feedback. You, as my client agree to this exchange.

- Deep respect and reverence for this sacred work while I am training 🙏

Being a non chargeable session, is not an indication of lesser value and def not to be mistaken that if it is free it should not be respected. I say this with love and deep trust.

Honest... I was not sure if I should put it here.

There was a slight discomfort.

The uneasiness has brought a certainty. A reflection.

I am following my heart and therefore will put this call out to each n all.

This work is to be shared. The opportunity is open to everyone, near and far.

At some point you might have met me, perhaps eaten a meal I prepared. Perhaps our interaction has stayed with you, perhaps not.

As part of my training, I require Soul Retrieval case studies 🙏

When this aligns and calls to you.....

Dear friends,

I have a few spaces available for a Shamanic Healing Session to practice Soul Retrieval.

- no cost to you, feedback is our exchange
- 90 mins on Zoom

Please follow this link to book:

https://calendly.com/karin-vincent2010

Times are Sunday & Wednesday evenings, Thursday and Friday mornings and Saturday until lunch time.

Thank you 🙏

Karin

Review & feedback:

"Each vision/image that I received via Karin was clear and relevant to the issues for which I was seeking insight. Karin took care to check out how these were landing with me and made effective use of silence, reflection and exploration to support the process of building my insights from the messages received."

Update...

You might have noticed. My food journey has morphed into brewing a different kind of tea... The spiritual kind.

I followed my heart and enrolled as a trainee shaman at Centre for Shamanism in 2022.

It has been a journey of coming to terms with all that I am. That I was and can be. Old beliefs, new perspectives. Some views have changed, others have become stronger.

There always was a deeper journey of discovery and magic which lay buried in my veins. I had to undo all to become.

The calling and role of food to nourish & nurture will always be what I am passionate about. Food is love, I am love. Plants as food and medicine will always be part of my story. It is me, the person whose story has now fully mooned into a new chapter.

I advocate for a life in gentle closeness with mother earth, honouring her fruits and through my humble offerings, for her voice to be heard. I say thank you for all the years of learning and loving.

An ancient path of honouring all life, all spirit - in new beginnings and of farewells, is at the centre of this new chapter.

I started my shamanic journey first as a participant, learning more of this way of life, awakening that which I knew have always been part of me. Later I became an apprentice and since 2024, I have deepened my practice and studies to become a trainee practitioner. My graduation is set for March 2026.

The days, months and years studying and learning this way of life has been a tremendous transformational journey. I am grateful to all 🙏

Playful days in the kitchen are always exciting! Inspired by simple fresh ingredients like sunflower seeds and cauliflower, combined with zucchini, herbs and spices, I created this delicious summer salad:

Raw zucchini noodles

1 cup sunflower seeds (soaked 2-3 hrs)*
2-3 Organic sundried tomatoes
2 tbsp Tahini
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
Dash of tamari
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp tomato paste (optional)
Salt
Pepper
1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
1/2 tsp turmeric
3/4 - 1 cup water (add more water for a thinner sauce - not too much)
Juice of 1/2 a small lemon

Put all in a blender and blend into a smooth paste. This makes a large batch. Store two thirds in the fridge. Can be used as a spreadable cheese or stirred into pasta.

* Discard soaking water and sunflower seeds can be replaced by cashews. Always soak nuts and seeds before use.

1 zucchini made into noodles
1/4 cucumber diced into small cubes
1 tomato cubed

Two to three large chunks of cauliflower (I used three flower stems from a medium sized head of cauliflower)
10 green olives
1 tbsp h**p seed oil**
Dash of tamari
Smoked paprika
Tomato powder
Salt n pepper

** Optional

Put all ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and process into small crumbs.

Combine ingredients into a bowl and stir in a third of your sunflower cheesey yumminess. I added a dash of extra virgin organic olive oil on top and 🌶️chili flakes.

Eat and enjoy while soaking up the sun rays ☀️

Love, light and blessings 🙏

Recipe share!

Hi,

Yesterday I had a play with making BUCKWHEAT flatbread. It's still being perfected, but this is how I got the processes going:

500g buckwheat
1kg cauliflower (approximately 1 head)
1 can coconut cream
Salt to taste
Nutmeg

Place buckwheat and cauliflower in a pot, cover with water and boil together until cauliflower is soft. Put the lid on and wait until all the water is absorbed. Add coconut cream and blend until combined and thick like a smooth batter. I use a stick blender. Season to taste with salt and nutmeg.

At this stage, you can add psyllium husk (1-2 tbsp) or ground flax (1-2 tbsp) to bind the dough. It is very crumbly after baking and the psyllium and flax seed will help with this.

Divide into 300g portions and spread thinly on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

You can freeze the portions you are not using and save it for later.

Bake in a hot oven for 20mins, flip over and bake the other side until crispy, another 15-20 mins.

Eat with your favourite toppings like hummus, avocado or tomato and a side salad.

Experiment:

- add a crumbled nori sheet
- add a handful of sunflower or pumpkin seed
- add crumbled vegan feta

Enjoy making and let me know what you think or even better, share a photo of your creation!

Have fun!

Until next time .... 😊
