Fermentation Meditation: Mindfulness & Sauerkraut
Abeille Voyante Tea Garden, Pittsburgh, PA
6:00 - 7:30 PM EST

Join us at Abeille Voyante’s Tea Garden for a nevening of hands-on fermentation and mindfulness. You will be guided by Trevor Ring, fermentation instructor and founder of Community Cultures, on how to ferment sauerkraut at home with confidence and creativity. As you begin your kraut-making journey with the class you will be guided by Meditation Guide, Helen Stickney, in a silent meditation. Participants will be encouraged to practice mindfulness through the hands-on portion of this workshop.

This class is for ALL AGES, and recommended for those who are looking for a quieter introspective experience, beginner fermenters or those looking to add depth to their existing knowledge, and for those who are able to remain quiet for specific portions of the class.

Your workshop includes:

  • tea provided by Abeille Voyante
  • a quart-size jar of kraut to ferment at home
  • a basic guide on how to ferment veggies
  • inspiration to approach your fermentation practice with mindfulness
  • a communal experience with the resources to deepen your fermentation knowledge with intention and creativity

*Location: the tea garden is behind 209 Grant Ave and can be accessed by walking behind the Millvale Library; participants will be notified beforehand via email if we will move indoors to Abeille Voytante’s shop due to weather
