Blindfolded Dinner

This is the final hurrah of Raederle's second annual Consciousness Week. December 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th are free-form, inspiration-based days with no specific schedule. That said, these days will be packed with one in-flow, zen, introspective, intuitive activity after another.

This day, however, does have a structure and specific price due to the nature of this experience.

In order to get fully in touch with your taste, it is time to eliminate your visual judgments about food. Without visual cues and expectations based on what you see, you'll experience food through smell and taste and mouth-feel in an immersive way.

The meal will be 100% organic, gluten-free, vegan and primarily raw. If you have any allergies, let me know and I will accommodate your needs.

This event specifically calls for four or five attendees (eight of us total, as Greg, Lytenian and I will all be present) – we will not take any more than that. This will be an intimate event. You'll take a turn at feeding a blind-folded person, and then you will take a turn being blind-folded and being fed. (This won't ruin the surprises as there will be different things in each group and the food will be covered.)

This can be as intimate as putting the food directly in someone's mouth (like if you come with romantic partner), or it could be simply guiding someone's hand to food you put on their plate. This will be up to you and your partner in this exercise to decide.

This event last year was so memorable that one participant said it was easily the most remarkable event of 2016 for them.

Expect to experience around thirty different flavors, some of which will be foods you've never tried before, and possibly never heard of.

Worried that you won't like everything? That's okay! This experience is about learning to embrace the full spectrum of taste. This dinner will be mostly silent – no idle chit-chat during this spiritual experience – but I will be guiding you to go deeper into the experience in your mouth and smell in such a way that even unpleasant flavors will be a miraculous discovery for you.

Because of the cost of food, set-up, and organization, you must pay for this event in advance. It will be highly inconvenient for me if there are cancellations, so I will not be providing refunds if you have to cancel. Thank you for understanding.
