General information
My name is Soraya, I am cultural manager and food expert.
At age 30, I experienced an extreme personal transformation, thanks to which I was able to lose 50 kg of weight.
Since then, I realized that from a personal experience like mine, I could help others. That is why for the last 5 years, my focus has been to work and research about mindful eating, and to devote myself to personal and professional empowerment through food and the arts.
I spent more than half of my life believing that there would never come a time when I could feel good about myself, feeling that my relationship with food had trapped me, and that this bad feeling about my own body would last forever.
Everything changed the moment I was able to make a personal commitment, to have faith and believe that a different life could be possible. From that moment on, I devoted myself in body and soul to research, looking for all the ways to experience wellness, good health and freedom.
The purpose of this Crowdfunding is to create a book, conceived as a practical manual, from which to share my personal experience, sustained on the base of my professional knowledge.
A manual written through the autobiographical story, in conjunction with the development of my professional experience in gastronomy, which led to my 50kg weight loss.
Hence the title of the book: -50kg MANUAL.
A comprehensive vision, presented in a simple way, accessible to everyone. An act of sharing and disseminating knowledge from a personal and real place, to help improve one's own well-being and health development.
Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign
A book manual that highlights the importance of self-care and personal conscious work to be able to walk towards a collaborative life concept where, with the energy of all people, a healthier life, full of joy and happiness, is possible.
This document "based on real events", will be based on my professional knowledge. Since 1997, my career as chef, cuisine trainer, arts manager of innovation projects through art and gastronomy, and coach for conscious eating from a holistic vision.
More than 20 years of professional experience dedicated to food, research, food, and people.
The MANUAL -50kg book will include: unpublished recipes, research, new personal discoveries in food and ways of cooking, the path to health support therapies, book connections, techniques, ingredients, people, psycho-emotional processes, and human improvement.
-
The strength of my processes has been connecting with the wisdom and knowledge of the ancestral practices of grandmothers, but also of other people and ancestors from earlier times.
-
Rescuing the knowledge and good practices of life in relation to food, processes and modes of cooking, contact and alignment with nature, the use of natural, ecological, seasonal products, food sovereignty and Km0, in addition to including new ways of relating from a place of heart with all living beings, their value and their teachings (people, animals, plants, etc).
-
The importance of the values of connection with time and space, the importance of biorhythms with light and dark, taking care of basic needs from a place of health, the benefits of healing during rest, a lot of internal management work, emotions, and how to include personal times of conscious thought in the day to day, even as we eat.
The resources we need are aimed at carrying out the following steps:
- Review
- Correction
- Translation
- Layout
- Design
- Edition
- Printing
- Distribution
The purpose of making this book is to disseminate knowledge in an accessible way.
This project has a direct line with the research "El Lenguaje de la Comida: El idioma de las culturas hispánicas", selected by the Observatory of the Spanish Language and Hispanic Cultures of the United States at Harvard University to be presented at the New Research Symposium of the Cervantes Institute in May 2019 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
This fact is directly related to the MANUAL Book -50kg. In 2013, during my transformation process, this idea was revealed to me as something groundbreaking and necessary.
From The Languages of Energy® we are developing I + I LABs: LABoratorios de Inteligencias Invisibles, which includes the creation of citizen laboratories through research.
The 1st edition of the I + I LAB "El lenguaje de la comida: El idioma de las culturas hispánicas" took place in November 2020, at the Tabakalera Building in Donostia_San Sebastián. With collaboration from KUTXA Fundazioa through the Kutxa Kultur Program, and the support of Medialab Prado and the Ministry of Culture and Sports of Spain, in the context of the Distributed Laboratories action.
Why this is important
MOTIVATION
My main motivation is to share and contribute to the common good, with the desire to support people, boost their inner power to make positive changes, and to foster the innate capacity of the human body towards the progress of health. Help you feel better, happier.
It seems important to me to share that my personal experience was a complicated process at all levels: social, physical, mental and psychological.
Making the decision to choose what was best for me and my health at all times, made me feel, on many occasions, lost, socially rejected and triggered emotional ups and downs.
The clash with traditions, habits, social circles, and in many cases, the lack of understanding, did not make it easy. I perfectly understand all those people who would like to make a change, but feel unable to do it, or do not know how to do it. I felt exactly the same way for a long time.
-
According to the WHO, overweight and obesity are already authentic epidemics, and many diseases derived from them, in addition, cause hundreds of mental illnesses in the world that affect balance and lack of health in personal and family life, labor and social.
-
In a time like the current one, it is essential and necessary for me to contribute what "is in my power" by sharing my experience in order to help that, among all people, a truly significant change can occur.
A change that in the near future will serve to improve the well-being and health of humanity.
WHO IS THIS AIMED AT
For anyone who wants a change and is looking for ways to improve their well-being.
- Individuals
- Families
- Collectives
- Social Entities
- Companies with a community vision
Institutions aligned with the importance of promoting social programs that provide an improvement in social well-being and health.
This is an invitation to those people and entities interested in promoting the innate capacity of the human being to progress in their health, feel better, happier, would like to join us and experience this!
The motivation to do this and in this moment, is an attempt to help other people through my experiences, so if this book can be of help to a single person, for me it will have been worth it. THANKS!
In that presentation, we managed to open the first possibility of modernized experiential conferences through conversations on food in arts and thought environments. In that presentation, we managed to open the first possibility of modernized experiential conferences through conversations with food in environments of art and thought. From that presentation, I discovered that the importance of personal experiences has such a rich and essential value, that I took on the mission of making it known through my work.
A few weeks after that conference, a "gastronomic experimental performance" was held at the home of one of Paris's best-known art restorers, in Le Marais. At that time, they asked me to write this manual book, but back then, living in Paris, I did not have the personal disposition to focus on it, also due to the need to relate it from a mature and neutral place, something that has given me the step of these 5 years later.
In recent years we have managed to turn this first conference into a statement of intent and a personal commitment to life to bring knowledge and experiences to improve well-being and the development of personal health in relation to food, art, sound, and healing, wherever people are.

Social commitment
Health and care
Since our inception, The Languages of Energy®'s mission is to support people towards a true conscious social transformation. For this reason, our commitment is to include support for the SDGs of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda as an axis of work.
From our basic criteria, we always work with local suppliers to support the local economy (SDG 8 and 9) and reduce the carbon footprint of transport, betting on km0 and food sovereignty (SDG 13).
In addition to this, the food we use is of ecological origin (SDG 12), in the same way we avoid plastics (which pollute seas and oceans with micro-plastics, SDG 6 and 14).
Specifically, in the case of the -50kg MANUAL project, the objective is to disseminate knowledge and value people's experiences, to contribute to a good education of society in the creation of sustainable cities and communities, and to make people reflect on the need to promote health and improve the well-being of people (SDG 3, 4 and 11).
Likewise, The Languages of Energy® is a project promoted by women, as well as the majority of people who will participate in the project, in addition to programming training actions and experience exclusively for groups in favor of Gender Equality and the reduction of gender equality. inequality (SDG 5 and 10).
From our organization we are committed to openness and synergies, and we are available to collaborate with agents in our environment with whom we share values, to carry out the project (SDG 17).
