To the Core: Restoring Gut Health
May 8, 2020 @ 6:00 PM - May 10, 2020 @ 1:00 PM SAST
All disease begins in the gut – Hippocrates
Gut health is the foundation of well being. You are responsible for your gut and your gut is responsible for the critical functioning of your body’s major systems.
It may seem impossible to restore balance for optimal health in this stressful environment of instant and canned lifestyles.
Join Jeanne and Pippa on this holistic journey to restore health to the gut, the ‘second brain’.
Included:
● 3 Workshops: Learn to make staples for gut health from precious traditional recipes:
Workshop 1: Connect with your Ancient Heritage – The 3 K’s – Kombucha, Kimchi and Kefir
Workshop 2: Ditch the Hunter, Be the Gatherer – Vegan Cheese and Aquafaba Meringue
Workshop 3: Greener Home Essential Oil Essentials – All Natural Trio: Room Fragrance,
Tooth Powder and Kitchen Disinfectant

● Joyful cooking together of inspiring, creative and healing meals for gut health – Saturday lunch and supper and Sunday lunch. All meals: the emphasis is on homemade and home-crafted!
