In this week's Vegan Academy Podcast Mike Davies shares with us his journey. From being a Jaimy Oliver apprentice to one of the hottest vegan chefs en recipe creators in Barcelona.
He talks about how his own challenges in life made him realize what’s truly important. And how through different practices he healed himself and became the person that he is today.
Mike is a traditionally trained chef with more than 9 years of experience, of which the last 4 years as a vegan chef.
His passion for preparing food really skyrocketed when he transitioned to fully plant-based cooking and living.
This transition got triggered already years before when working as a young chef in Australia. The lifestyle he was living left him feeling unfulfilled even eventually led into as Mike calls it the “dark nights of the soul”
Through these darkest nights, he slowly becomes aware of the process of allowing and surrendering.
“The bitter truth you can't do anything about your feelings you can only allow them to move. The healing is more in the non-doing than in the doing”
The more he allowed the experience with as much patience and compassion as possible. The more he learned to trust the experience and take his hands off the experience. That’s what was truly healing.
Mike speaks passionately about spirituality and philosophy and does question it sometimes whether his purpose will be with this or being a chef.
But he doesn't pin things down. He finished with Life is so wise and life leads the way. So he allows life to present the opportunities and responds accordingly.
This week's Vegan Academy podcast is packed with insights about the life of a talented chef, healing the darkest places of the mind, and plant-based cooking.
