ABOUT NOURISH
Historically, our ancestors used ritual to lift themselves up and heal during uncertain and trying times. They used rituals like bookends to honor milestones in life, and even in the day-to-day. For many reasons, those rituals got lost on their way to us.
At Nourish, we help people come together, to heal, connect to their lineage and remember their rituals- whatever they may be and however they may need to evolve as the world evolves.
We do this through inspiring story-telling, home cooking, interior design and hosting gatherings that will be remembered for generations to come. To learn more about Nourish Co.’s founder, Kristin Eriko Posner, head over here.

ABOUT KRISTIN
Bryan and I spotted these pickle barrels next to each other and thought, "look, it's us!" Since then, we've done a lot of blending of our Japanese and Jewish heritages.
Nourish Co. was founded by Kristin Eriko Posner, as an outcome of her own exploration into her Japanese and Jewish cultural roots.
