BIG gracias, thank you, Tlazokamati, to everyone who joined us for Supporting Susto for Men con Comida and NADA (Ear acupunture) — a space for men to come together to connect, share, learn, ground & heal. Today, we shared nourishing comida, grounded ourselves through NADA (ear acupuncture), and created something powerful: a community of men coming together with intention and care. Deep gratitude to Chef Roberto of @urbanpilon for guiding us in preparing delicious, nutritious food 🙏 and to Edwin of @springstreamacupuncture for leading a restorative NADA session. This is what healing manhood looks like — learning, sharing, and restoring our energy together.This is the first time in my life I've seen a group of men cooking together- it was beautiful to see. Hope to see you all next month!

Took a cooking class with @urbanpilon today. It was so delicious. Pollo Guisado Bacalao Guisado Habichuelas Guisadas Arroz Blanco Tostones Pickled Onions Limonada de Sandia #cultura #breakingbread #urbanpilon

Supporting Susto for Men: Regulating the Nervous System with Comida & NADA (Ear Acupuncture). RSVP in bio or Info on flyer! La Cura (Inspired by the salsa song by Frankie Ruiz) This month, Chef Roberto of @urbanpilon will be joining us and leading a cooking workshop for men. Afterwards, Edwin of @springstreamacupuncture , will be prviding NADA (ear acupunture). Description: La Cura is more than a cooking workshop—it’s a return to ancestral wisdom. Across Las Américas, generations have gathered in kitchens and patios not just to eat but to heal. In these spaces, food becomes medicine, ritual, and remembrance. This offering is dedicated to supporting men in tending to susto—a condition understood in many of our traditions as a disturbance or loss of the spirit caused by shock, fear, emotional overwhelm, or PTSD. Through intentional cooking, shared meals, and acupuncture, we gently support the regulation of the nervous system, reconnect with the body, and restore balance. This is a space for men to slow down, to feel, and to reconnect with themselves, with community, and with the wisdom carried through generations in comida. Food will be provided, just come as you are. Come cook, learn, share, and restore. All men are welcome. Flow: 12pm- Welcoming  12:10 pm: Cooking 1:10pm- Eating & Intentional conversation 1:30pm-2:15pm: NADA (Ear Acupuncture) Hope to see you ahi! #menhealing #foodismedicine #nadaacupuncture #chicago #healingjourney

Year 3 of Superfoods Showdown is in the books! Grateful to be in community with some incredible chefs and the Blue Door team, coming together to share food, knowledge, and care. This year we centered diabetes awareness and what it looks like to build meals that actually support our bodies in real life. Nothing was complicated and nothing was out of reach. We shared thoughtful, flavorful food and real conversations around health that feel accessible. Appreciate everyone who pulled up, learned something new, and shared space with us. Looking forward to what we continue building together. Until next time ✨
