A huge thank you to everyone who came to yesterday’s community brunch at Terra Oslo. It was so beautiful to see how babies and grandmothers, artists and yogis, freelancers and nine-to-fivers all found their way to the same table.

We started with a breathwork landing led by Sunniva from Terra Oslo, followed by a mini concert with the spring edition of the project Året by Esther Buchmann and Kristoffer Pahle — before sharing a warm meal created to include everyone. That means everything from considering breastfeeding mamas who can’t have dairy, to sensitive bodies that don’t digest gluten, to those who needed a little extra natural hormonal support.

Spring has barely begun, and the evening before I took my daughter out foraging. We found an abundance of fresh young nettles, ground elder, dandelion leaves and lady’s mantle. So I swapped the spinach in the lentil stew for nettles, used dandelion leaves as a topping instead of rocket, and made a weed pesto from what we’d gathered — blended with sunflower seeds and apple cider vinegar.

Thank you for our amazing collaborating partners Villbrygg,  Virgernes CSA, Havens Kolonial and Tim Wendelboe. Artwork of artist Hélène Arja. Prosjekt Året with Esther Buchmann and Kristoffer Limi Pahle.
