Herbs and Fermentation for Digestive Health, with Linda Conroy

This class will explore the digestive system and how to optimally support its health. We will cover a range of approaches, from digestive bitters to pre- and probiotics, to enlist herbal tonics, fermented foods and beverages, and other remedies to promote this vital bodily function and its supporting organs.

The instructor will share guiding principles for incorporating herbs and nourishing foods into your daily routine. During the class, we will also prepare several herbal remedies and herbal ferments that you will be able to take home.

Supporter Level Ticket: $140
If you move through the world with financial ease and the means to fulfill many of your wants as well as your needs – you are able to eat out when you want, abundantly meet your needs through employment or can comfortably not work, have access to family wealth, own property, etc. – consider paying at this level, which will help us ensure the long term sustainability of our programs while keeping our offerings accessible to those with access to fewer resources.

Sustainer Level Ticket: $115
If you are able to meet your needs with relative ease while budgeting your educational and entertainment spending – for instance, you are able to take classes and eat out occasionally as long as you are mindful – consider paying at this level, which will help sustain the work of the Folk School at a modest level.

Supported Level Ticket: $90
If you struggle to fund your basic needs and have limited access to resources in your family and community, or if you would not be able to access this offering without a discounted payment option, consider paying at this level.
