Fermentation as Ancestral Practice: Making Your Own Beverages for Deepening Bacterial Intimacy Inside and Out

In this five hour in person knowledge share, we will learn to make four different fermented beverages; herbal sodas, ginger beer, kvass and mead. We will explore an array of fermentation techniques, harvesting wild yeast, lacto fermentation and how to incorporate in our fermentation practice. We will become intimate with our micro environment and learn to recognize them as part of us. We invite you to join us in using our intuition and our sensory ability to create and share what the invisible world of microorganisms is moving us to do. Each participant by the end of our time together will take home 3 different ferments to continue deepening relationship with them. We will spend 5 hours becoming deeply intimate with bacteria within us and outside of us. Our approach will be artistic, fun, and poetic to encourage everyone to have the skills and confidence to continue their fermentation journey beyond our time together.

This in person knowledge share will take place in Local Roots Market and Cafe
