This YouTube transcript from shaman Jon Rasmussen details a fire ceremony designed to cleanse participants of negative energy. Rasmussen, drawing from Quechua traditions, explains that repressed emotions act as fuel, and the ceremony uses breath and fire to symbolically combust these energies. Participants are guided through a ritual involving sticks to represent the release of pain, focusing on six archetypal experiences of hurt (loss, abuse, betrayal, abandonment, neglect, and engulfment). The ceremony concludes with burning the sticks, symbolizing the release and transformation of negative energy into the earth, while simultaneously inviting positive energy. Ultimately, the practice aims to achieve a state of clarity and empowerment, freeing individuals from the cycle of victimhood and enabling them to embrace their full potential.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
