CCG Presents: Commune Italia Sunday Supper
featuring SriMu with Chef Julie

Commune Italia! Come together for delicious plant-based Italian food & shared ritual.

For the past six years, Julie Piatt and Rich Roll have hosted a wellness retreat in the Italian countryside that has been a memorable experience of a lifetime. Due to COVID, they had to postpone our trip until 2021. But they are missing community so much that we wanted to share a meal with you. Julie created this event so we can cook together, eat together, and COMMUNE.

In this Sunday workshop, you will learn from Plantbased Chef and “Not-Cheese doyenne” and founder of SriMu Do Life Not cheese, Julie Piatt, on how to ritualize your Sunday dinner complete with delicious plant-based foods, aesthetic detail, blessings and rituals – all taught through live tutorials on Zoom.

Julie has published three cookbooks and created over 400 vegan recipes. Her food is celebrated for its lively flavors and hearty fare. Julie’s recipes are loved universally by many varieties of foodies; Vegan, Paleo, Gluten-free, pescatarians, and carnivores alike are welcome here and will enjoy every dish on this table.

The recipes SriMati will teach you will only be enhanced by the warm and inviting communal environment that we will all create together.

Our Commune Italia Family dinner tradition takes a little bit of effort, but we’ve got you covered.

We will prepare 8 recipes together, complete with table settings, and flower arrangements, and all the while learn about our relationship to food and sacred blessings. The recipes are simple to prepare and we will send you ingredients and prep that you can do in advance. We’re going to keep things casual, and have a lot of fun connecting with the people who you love most.

Come COMMUNE with us. You are loved and sharing delicious plant-based Italian food is our way to honor our sacred body temples.

They are celebrated for living in community for over 45 years. Founded by Falco Tarassacco, they built temples to humankind as a gift to humanity to create a world of love. Due to Covid they have experienced challenges as they had to close their temple tours. The temples require temperature regulation to preserve them as living incubators of consciousness.
