About the Guests:

@shinelivingcommunity  

We were born into this lifetime as triplet sisters. It is this relationship that taught us about what sisterhood means and how to navigate a world that constantly compares us to each other. Being triplets makes for a unique existence and naturally created an early curiosity to discover who we are as individuals and the roles we play as part of the whole.

We have seen in our own family how food, love, and connection heals. Our brother Dennis was diagnosed with a degenerative disease called metachromatic leukodystrophy as a young boy and his doctors gave him 25 years to live. Today he is in his 50s and even his doctors can’t deny that he is a living miracle. This is proof of how love heals and when we nourish our bodies and spirit for optimal vitality, we transform our health and our lives.

We have discovered that when we stand tall in our unique beings and live from a place of community and healing, we have the courage to be our fullest selves and create big impact in the world.

Over the span of 20+ years, we created iconic restaurants and gathering places, each of them about building community and connection to one another, to our bodies, and to our spirit.

Through our epic dance parties, nourishing food, herbal potions, cocktails, classes, workshops, and retreats, we bring deep nourishment and community together ~ while sharing our own unique gifts through all of it.

We created Shine Living Community as a safe space where you are seen, heard, accepted, and respected. This space is a nurturing community where wellness is accessible and fun for the whole family.
