testimonials from my dance classes, workshops, and online dance classes
THE RECENT COME DANCE session was MAGIC, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
To me, it felt like a constellation of all experiences/aspects of humanity showing up in one place and time.
OUR community, dancing together, every generation, with the welcome invitation for us all to be true with who we are and what is present. There is no better way to do that, than through the felt-sense of our body. A space held, can only go as deep as the space holder has themselves. And yesterday, was DEEP.
Ticks all the boxes for me.
A place to dance, a place to integrate, a place to release, a place to connect. 90 minutes of THE BEST music choices, un-intrusive and perfect guidance and suggestions, GREAT facilitation from Maria Carin, conscious, aware community, a great venue. And, it's all in the morning (this, a total fit for me), a Dance Prayer on a Sunday, YES!!
Thank you so much MC!!

"The first ONLINe DANCE session I came to was unexpectedly helpful for me. I was emotionally blocked, and with guidance I managed to move and get to a more balanced place. A very caring, free and nurturing space. Recommended!"

TESTIMONIALS from my cookbook ‘Lick Your Plate’, and my in-person and online cooking classes
Your cookbook is hands down the most inspiring and nourishing food resource I’ve ever come across, and we all need to move our bodies more. All of your offerings are on point, and it’s your authentic expression that really resonates in my opinion.— Rosie, New Zealand
What People Are Saying
“I love Maria-Carin’s food, with its delicious range of flavours and textures that leave me feeling great and well nourished for movement practice. You’ll get a touching and encouraging story on each page, making the whole book a delight to use.”
Adam Barley, Founder of ZeroOne movement meditation practice.“Maria-Carin is a magnificent chef. The magic she creates with her love and devotion to nourishment on every level
and the genius way she works with each season’s fresh offerings makes her one of my favourite Kitchen Witches!”
Jane Hardwicke Collings, Founder of The School of Shamanic Womencraft.
“I love Maria-Carin’s cooking classes! I’ve done three or four of them now and keep coming back because they are the best fusion of taste, healthy conscious eating and light hearted spirituality that I’ve found. Something about Carin is very present in the whole experience; she’s a really clear, pure and friendly human being and it radiates through her cooking. On a practical level what Carin shares with you is brilliant because her recipes are very accessible and work very well when you get home with the copy she provides and give them a go yourself. A bunch of her recipes are in my regular repertoire now and people love them!”
Jeremy Godwin, Senior Order Member Sydney Buddhist Centre.
“OMG!!! This is the absolute BEST Recipe book I have ever read and used. There is not ONE PAGE that I don't LOVE and am excited to create. Thank you soooo much for your creative spirit and for bringing your love and enthusiasm into people's homes and into their bodies.”

“Scrumptiously more-ish vegan delicacies with a multicultural twist. Love of cooking and tasty flavours are the main ingredient, while never losing sight of good nutrition.”
