Friday, November 19: Food As Nourishment and Food Demonstration

Felicia Cocotzin Ruiz (Tewa/Xicana) is an author, traditional healer (Curandera), and natural foods chef working over twenty-five years sharing Indigenous Knowledge and complimentary wellness tools, in efforts to educate and support her community back to overall health. Partnering with tribal communities, non-profits, top-wellness resorts, universities, corporations, grassroot collectives, and local and state agencies, Felicia has provided medicine making workshops, native food presentations, mentorships, and classes on self-care, as well as participating on numerous food sovereignty panels in efforts of supporting those on their journey to well-being.

Focusing on simple, healing foods that draw upon the deep wisdom and traditions of ancestral cooking, Felicia will share on how being well fed is different from being well nourished. Sharing knowledge from years of working with grandmothers from around the globe, Felicia will speak on seasonality, home remedies, and so much more. Felicia will also demonstrate on how to make simple teas and other recipes that promote healing and health.
