Amy and Denise are dear friends with deep bonds formed from a love of great food, empowered healing, color, beauty, and our relationship with the natural world. We are students of the chakra energy system, and have applied our learnings to our own lives in a variety of ways - largely through the five senses!

After many hours of joy-filled co-creating about how to bring this wisdom to those we love, Chakra Dinners was born!
