Spring to Something New Feast your senses on some of the world’s most unique modern Asian fare this spring at Pao, where Chef de Cuisine Benjamin Murray cooked up an inventive menu as vibrant in color as it is in flavor.

A GRILLING MASTERCLASS INTRODUCING CHEF DE CUISINE CRISTIAN MENENDEZ This spring and summer, guests of Faena Miami Beach can channel their inner culinary master with outdoor grilling classes helmed by Argentine Chef de Cuisine Cristian Menendez. During the epicurean experience, a small group of culinary enthusiasts will learn the time-honored techniques that have made Los Fuegos a celebrated asado eatery serving sophisticated wood-fire cuisine. Using fresh, seasonal ingredients, Chef Menendez will guide participants step-by-step on how to prepare the restaurant’s signature fiery fare in the style of James Beard Award-wining Executive Chef Francis Mallmann.

A graduate of Johnson & Wales University’s culinary arts program with positions at Miami’s Zuma, Area 31, and Azul under his belt, Chef Murray’s dynamic and globally inspired approach—heavily influenced by his mother’s Japanese heritage—made him a natural fit to helm Pao’s innovative kitchen. The restaurant’s new spring menu is awash in Murray’s artful culinary creations and features six new dishes, including the zesty Honeydew Aguachile crudo.

“The melon, flavored with a spicy sauce, mimics the texture of tender raw fish and is paired with avocado, serrano chili, sea cress and green strawberry, which is locally sourced,” he says. Other additions to Pao’s lineup include a rich, risotto-style bamboo rice with black truffles, burrata, five variations of peas and shitake, and a Binchotan-grilled toro served with shiso and green strawberry gazpacho. “I’m really excited about what farms in Florida are producing right now, especially unique finds like Australian finger limes, strains of Hawaiian ginger and fermented honey,” the chef reveals. “Spring is my favorite season, abundant with vibrant produce and delicious vegetables, all of which were a major inspiration for the new dishes.” In-house guests may dial the Concierge at 4037 for more information. Reservations can be made at 786 655 5600.

As guests face off with the flame, they’ll learn how to cook with a parrilla (wood-fire grill) and a la plancha (flat griddle), infuse food with a smoky flavor by grilling directly over embers, and even salt-crust a whole fish. Along the way, chefs-in-training will enjoy handpicked wine pairings and learn how to prepare healthy and flavorful vegetable dishes perfect for any occasion. Students will also enjoy a never-before-seen look at how to create the distinctive flavors and dishes that guests around the world have come to expect from this grilling mecca. However, it’s not just his technical skills Chef Menendez hopes to impart. His wish for his students is simple: to leave “with a fully belly and a happy heart.”

In-house guests may dial the Concierge at 4037 for more information. Reservations can be made at 786 655 5600 APR

Grilling Master Class Tree of Life 11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Magic is said to flood our daily lives, even inadvertently...

APRIL 2018

We’re all witches now: magic and ritual as part of being human

Incarnated, as witches, shamans, healers, and sorcerers, in talismans, potions and enchantments, magic is one of the most mysterious expressions of human interiority and our relationship with the divine. Some argue not only for the existence of magic, but that we’re all capable of practicing it, even unconsciously. Art, to name but one example, is in its own way a form of magic. Regardless of our belief in it, it’s one of humanity’s oldest practices and, for that alone, the recognition of magic is nothing short of indispensable. These practices continue to inspire all kinds of art and creativity around the world. In English, the very idea of “witchcraft” speaks of the implicit possibility of learning and perfecting this craft, an invisible discipline.

to which we’ve assigned powers of protection or good fortune. It’s also common to use language as a form of enchantment: how often do we surprise ourselves repeating a word or phrase in the hope that it will change some course of events? Ritual—among the most beautiful of human acts—accompanies the great majority of us, even during our most intimate moments and can also be considered a form of witchcraft. Finally, the simple, powerful adoration of nature in its many forces has also characterized witches since time immemorial. This too connects us with the inexplicable, with the magical, with that which is bigger than us and which feeds us even when we can neither see nor substantiate it. We all do magic in some way, even if it is done so unconsciously. And we live fascinated by magic, maybe for the simple fact that we’ll never know quite how it works.

Noche de Brujas The role of the witch, the woman with supernatural powers, is prominently featured in ancient mythologies and folklore, of multiple religions and cosmogonies. An archetype who understands or sees more than others (perhaps because of her powerful intuition), she’s also an expression of the feminine divinity in its life-giving dimension. For some, this is itself a spectacular form of magic. Even the word “witch” bears an obscure meaning: for centuries, it was used in reference to women who used magic for evil purposes and those who simply lived outside of the social standards of their times. Lamentably, this has justified all kinds of atrocities throughout history. In any case, the witches who’ve trod the planet even until now, have held preponderant roles in the metaphysical imagination. Their practices (always replete with an inexplicable magnetism) are expressed in rituals that today preserve treasures of a millenary and traditional wisdom.

An evening of auditory and visual elevation by artists and musicians who moved fluidly between and across disciplines towards visuals scores and sonic experiences.

Ancient cultures were known to entrust the March winds to carry their wishes to the divine, a tradition that Faena Miami Beach honored last month, as mystical artists and guests gathered for Noche de Brujas at Faena Forum, a communal invocation of the esoteric and the spiritual featuring musical, auditory and visual creations. Dubbed the ‘anti-concert’ during Miami Music Week, the night was dedicated to the exploration of the gray areas between music and art, the scared and the profane, and the traditional and the futuristic. The event–a complimentary experience open to the public–transformed Faena Forum into a con-

temporary temple for multidisciplinary magic, where artists were celebrated as modern shamans ushering the broader public into higher consciousness. Producer Suzi Analogue’s blown-out and off-kilter beats captured the audience while Carlos Betancourt’s presentation stirred questions of beauty, identity and communication. Poorgrrrl’s vocals melted in and out of musical landscapes, while Virgo blended space-age synthesis and crystalline vocals for introspective dance tracks. Other mind-blowing performances came from Voila Snow, Georgia Wall, Sandflower, Kalup Linzy, Jen DeNike, and Juliana Huxtable.

“I am proud that the Faena Forum can exist as a space for relevant and experimental cultural programming,” Alan Faena said of the event. “My vision has always been to create a democratic gathering space for the creation of new communities to explore new ideas and cultural practices. During Music Week, the Forum existed as an accessible and experimental alternative for the experience of new sounds, new movements, and new voices in contemporary art and music.” Not only do these artistic works spark the desire for internal exploration and the incarnation of society’s divine feminine power, they push our cultural institutions to reconsider their priorities and realign themselves with a connection to the natural and spiritual worlds.

Dream Big Faena Forum is coveted canvas for Miami’s most visionary designers like Guerdy Abraira, owner of Ocean Flowers & Events, who has worked with stars like Diana Ross and Flo Rida, and athletes Chris Bosh, Andre Agassi and Mike Piazza. “I love the layout. The space is so raw that your design options are endless,” says Guerdy. For a recent wedding that she styled, the notable designer transformed Faena Forum into a modern Moroccan oasis featuring a massive multidimensional ceiling installation of geometric cubes that played off the custom mandala she created for the dance floor. Unlike a typical ballroom, the space allows for Guerdy to control what guests see and when they see it, partitioning the space with beautiful draping to separate areas for dining and dancing. “You can create a singular event design here that can never be replicated in other venues,” she says. The fact that the Faena Forum is detached from the hotel is an upside for her high-profile clients because it allows for maximum privacy. But that’s not to say her clients shy away from hosting events at Faena Hotel Miami Beach.

She’s planned bridal dinners and brunches at the restaurants and afterparties at Faena Theater, where she flew out DJ Ruckus to perform. “To truly embrace Faena’s creativity, we hired the entire performing cast of the theater’s cabaret show–Sensatia–and had them perform different acts on stage during the celebration, which created an impressive whimsical vibe,” Guerdy says. Because Faena Forum is not a typical convention center, hotel conference room or ballroom, it inevitably becomes a talking piece among guests. The bold white space, with its architectural curvature dotted with hundreds of geometric windows, and an intimate rose marble Amphitheater creates a stunning backdrop for any type of event. “Especially for those who dare to dream big,” she adds. For information on events at Faena Forum, email events-miamibeach@faena.com.

A SWEET STAYCATION There’s nothing like a staycation with sunshine and ice cream to sweeten the deal. Locals checking into Casa Faena will embark on a memorable journey starting with a few scoops of culture, smothered in South American-inspired cuisine and topped with unforgettable spa treatments. Guests enjoy the boutique charm of a Spanish-colonial mansion, daily American breakfast for two, discounts on body therapies at Tierra Santa Healing House and scintillating shows at Faena Theater. The cherry on top: two tickets to explore the Instagram-famous Museum of Ice Cream at Faena Bazaar bursting with color, delicious treats and whimsical style. This staycation is sweet in every sense.

Instrumental as a launch pad for dance music’s biggest tracks and risign artists, WMC also provides a forum for discussion on the most important topics facing the industry. A variety of panels addressed critical themes like agent and promoter responsibilities, social media promotion, reaching new audiences, new revenue sources, and how to scout top talent. Under Faena’s roof, industry

tastemakers addressed important questions and shared conversations that continue to shape the future of music. Now led in partnership with the team behind Ultra Music Festival, Winter Music Conference will be held at Faena Forum through 2021, furthering Faena’s dedication to showcasing today’s most innovative minds.

RAISE AWARENESS AND SAVE LIVES! BY DR. ROBERTA DEL CAMPO TIERRA SANTA HEALING HOUSE WELLNESS COLLABORATOR

SHAMANIC FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. With 5.4 million cases in more than 3.3 million people diagnosed annually, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. With this in mind, I would like to dedicate the next two monthly columns to this topic. This month, I will focus on the more common type of skin cancer—nonmelanoma skin cancer—which includes basal and squamous cell carcinomas. These skin cancers are typically localized to the skin with little risk of metastases. Below are some additional facts and statistics to know about. • More people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the U.S. than all other cancers combined. • One in five Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. • The diagnosis and treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancers in the U.S. increased by 77 percent between 1994 and 2014. • About 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer. An estimated 4.3 million cases of BCC are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, resulting in more than 3,000 deaths. • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer. More than 1 million cases of SCC are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, resulting in more than 15,000 deaths. • Daily use of an SPF 15 or higher sunscreen reduces the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma by about 40 percent. • The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends that everyone practice monthly head-to -toe self-examination of their skin, so that they can find any new or changing lesions that might be cancerous or precancerous. Skin cancers found and removed early are almost always curable. • A baseline skin exam followed by repeat annual exams (more frequent if diagnosed with a skin cancer) by a board certified dermatologist is important to help diagnose and treat these skin cancers early, which in turns saves lives and improves cancer outcomes.

On May 24th, Tierra Santa Healing House invites guests to join internationally-renowned and certified spiritual leader Eric Lopez as he guides them on a journey toward inner peace and enlightenment. Lopez, a Peruvian shaman, healer, psychic, and medicine man of the Nemenhah American Indian tribe, will take participants through a Shamanic Family Constellations Workshop, unearthing past trauma and helping those he touches move forward, while discovering newfound spiritual, emotional and physical well-being along the way.

World Health Day Health is our greatest asset, and this year, guests can learn how to nurture this essential gift at Faena Miami Beach. In celebration of World Health Day on April 7th, Tierra Santa Healing House will teach visitors to improve their health both inside and out with a series of workshops, programs and events that promote spiritual, emotional and physical wellness. Transform your frame of mind with How to Live Healthy and Happy, a conference with Tierra Santa’s own Agustina Caminos, and healers Adriana Nielsen, founder of Rawclub Buenos Aires, and Dr. Jarred Mait, MD, Founder of Pulse & Remedy and a pioneer in the world of wellness IV treatments. During this unique workshop, guests can channel their inner yogi—no matter how long it’s been since they practiced their asanas—with Agustina’s Yoga for All workshop, experience a healing sound bowl ritual, explore the health-giving wonders of raw food with Adriana, learn about Dr. Mait’s innovative IV wellness treatments, and round out the day with a closing ceremony that combines meditation and healing to center and calm participants after an energizing and motivating day of reflection. Other upcoming wellness events include Pranic Healing courses, full moon medita-

tions, daily yoga sessions, a shaman-led family constellation workshop and discussions with Faena’s wellness experts. In-house guests may dial Tierra Santa at 3217. For more information and reservations, please email spamiami@faena.com or call 786 655 5570. APR

The Power of Meditation Take the first step toward a more enlightened, focused and peaceful self through guided meditations at Tierra Santa Healing House this spring. Dedicated to the art of physical and spiritual wellbeing, Tierra Santa Healing House offers a range of impactful classes and mediation workshops to deepen one’s sense of serenity and achieve expanded levels of consciousness. Daily hour-long Twin Hearts Meditations, led by certified Pranic Healers using Master Healer Choa Kok Sui’s techniques, will raise your vibrations toward heightened states of awareness and help you forge a path toward enlightenment. “This meditation demonstrates that it’s in giving that we receive, it is by healing that we are healed,” says Tierra Santa Spa Director Agustina Caminos. The benefits of Pranic Healing are manifold and practitioners can expect to experience greater mental clarity; reduced stress, anxiety and depression; increased self-esteem; and more harmony in their relationships. Those who want to embrace the power of

nature in their practice can partake in Tierra Santa’s Full Moon Meditations. Channeling the energy of the celestial cycle, these sessions, led by certified teachers, incorporate music, sound healing, crystal bowls, yoga, and dance. Tierra Santa Healing House also invites international spiritual leaders to give public talks on meditation, such as the Tibetan lama Phakyab Rinpoche, author of Meditation Saved My Life, who shared his personal healing journey with guests. Whether you’ve been meditating for decades or are just starting out, Tierra Santa’s experts will help guide you on the path toward comprehensive physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. In-house guests may dial Tierra Santa at 3217. For more information and reservations, please email spamiami@faena.com or call 786 655 5570.

A practitioner of Bert Hellinger’s technique since 2003, Lopez spent three years mastering the art of this groundbreaking therapy to become a certified family constellations facilitator. In this impactful workshop, Lopez takes participants through the family constellations process, inviting them to delve deep into the unresolved traumas that have shaped their lives, and the lives of their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, liberating them from their emotional burdens and allowing them to experience a spiritual rebirth in the process. In the words of Bert Hellinger, renowned psychotherapist credited as the founder of Family Constellations therapy, “When everyone takes their place, love flows,” a philosophy exemplified in Lopez’s practice. As the effects of past trauma are healed, so too are the barriers distancing us from the happier, healthier selves we wish to be.

It Takes Two To Tango Feel the heartbeat of Rojo Tango at El Cabaret in Faena Hotel Buenos Aires. Inspired by the iconic tango clubs of the 1920s, Faena's red velvet space is a portal to another world full of sensuous beauty, unbridled romance and hypnotic rhythms. First come the melodies. The live quintet orchestra, featuring bandoneons, double bass, violin and piano, starts slow but is quickly swept away by the crooning voices of Vanesa Quiroz and Ariel Altieri as they interpret the dramatic lyrics of legendary songwriter Carlos Gardel. Beats and rhythms from master composer Astor Piazzolla course through

your bloodstream, where you’ll feel rather than hear the music. Then, there’s a waft of full-bodied Mablec being served and the fizzy dance of champagne on your taste buds. Dinner comes with the aromas of truffles whipped with mashed potatoes, the smoky bouquet of a fire-grilled beef tenderloin or the mouthwatering scent of lamb ravioli smothered in sage cream. A decadent banana mousse with caramel and olive cake momentarily steals the show. Your heart quickens as an ensemble of dazzling
