THE RITUAL OF BEING with Geneviève Medow-Jenkins

86 min • 22 februari 2024

Today we celebrate our origins and micro-moments of magic.

We welcome Nitsa’s oldest friend Geneviève Medow-Jenkins to SOUNDFOOD. Born 9 days apart, Geneviève and Nitsa spent their earliest years together at Esalen Institute — a retreat center and hot springs community perched over the Pacific Ocean in Big Sur, California. Geneviève reflects on how fundamental this wild landscape and Esalen in all its dimensions have been in shaping her current work as a creative director and founder of Secular Sabbath; an ambient music experience incorporating wellness and art, inspired by the societal need to celebrate a day of rest.

In this laughter-filled conversation, we share childhood memories, relationship synchronicities, sacred moments of agency and how to find divinity in the mundane. Geneviève tells us about the conception of Secular Sabbath and how it has evolved through the power of community.

Thank you for reminding us to stay open to synchronicity, Geneviève!
