In this episode of the Wisdom Keeper podcast I’m delighted to be joined by Tjok Sri Maya Kerthyasa, a food and lifestyle journalist based in Bali and co-author along with Chef Wayan Kresna Yasa of the newly released book Paon: Real Balinese Cooking. In this conversation we follow Maya’s on her pilgrimage to heal from our modern culture of systemic disconnection, as she rediscovered her Balinese spiritual roots, transform her kitchen into a temple, and becomes the keeper of her grandmother’s sacred wisdom. This dialogue is filled with tenderness of the divine feminine as well as delightful surprises relevant to anyone embarking of the heroic journey of personal rebirth.

∙How food can be a vehicle for the transmission of sacred wisdom
