Body Process is a Brooklyn-based collective of somatic and energy work practitioners dedicated to creating accessible spaces for healing, connection, and transformation through body-centered practices. In November 2024, Body Process hosted a meal for people to come together and get nourished. I baked a cake for the event, and it turned out beautifully! Enjoy these photos of my cake.
