Beyond Herbs:  The Healing Power of Clay,
Fermented Foods and Homemade Cheese
Sunday, September 12, 2010
10 am - 3 pm
$25
Registration Deadline September 5, 2010

For thousands of years, cultures have utilized clays for healing, both
internally and externally.  People would travel far and wide to be
wrapped in clay, Mother Earth herself, knowing the extraordinary
healing properties of “dirt”.  Additionally, many cultures still ferment
certain foods because of the healing qualities that fermentation provides.  

In this class, we will talk about clays, in particular one found here
in the U.S., and how this wonderfully healing product can
become part of your “medicine bag.”  

Then we will sample and make 2 fermented foods/drinks
and discuss this way of working with food and the positive affect
(including how it is an anti-cancer ally!) it has on our bodies.  

Finally, I will show you a very simple way to make your own
soft cheese right at  home.  

You will leave with handouts and recipes for further experimentation.
