French Macarons and Guided Imagery with Music in Sofia

Discover a more reflective side of cooking with French macarons and guided imagery with music in Sofia: a workshop bringing together flavour, the senses and psychology. Preparing food becomes more than a culinary activity. It offers a creative way to connect with the present moment and your inner world. What might you discover when the kitchen becomes a place for feeling, imagination and self-expression?

From breathing and music to your own French macarons

The workshop begins gently, with a short meditation and breathing exercises to help you relax and turn your attention inwards. You have time to notice how you feel before moving into the creative part of the experience.

Next, specially selected music and the GIM light technique introduce a guided imagery experience designed to encourage intuition and imagination. Rather than focusing only on external instructions, you have space to engage with the images and experiences that emerge within you.

After this inner journey, you will make your own French macarons. These delicate creations give you an opportunity to bring something of your mood and feelings into the cooking process. Food becomes more than the finished result of a recipe: it forms part of the experience itself.

What culinary art therapy aims to support

Working with food, creating something and sharing the experience with others are intended to support a closer connection with yourself and those around you. The approach aims to:

• Develop social skills and the ability to collaborate.
• Build awareness of the role food plays in overall wellbeing.
• Help you work through stress and accumulated tension.
• Support self-confidence through creativity and sharing.
• Provide space to express and release emotions and experiences you may have held back.
• Encourage inner connection, symbolic thinking and personal growth.

Meet your workshop facilitator

The workshop is led by Verzhiniya Petkova, a psychologist and Jungian psychotherapist practising under supervision. She has spent more than 15 years exploring different approaches within psychology and psychotherapy. At “Kitchen for the Soul”, flavour, quiet and imagination come together in a therapeutically oriented experience with room for personal discovery.
