Vegetable Fermentation for Gut Health with Mo Katz-Christy

What’s all this fuss about fermented foods? Why are fermented foods essential for gut health, and why are they so expensive? In this class, MoKatz-Christy will walk you through how to use any old vegetables to make delicious and nutritious fermented foods that replenish the microbiome, regulate our immune system, and more! Leave with a jar of kraut that you can share with your household and the supplies and knowledge to make your own ferments at home.

Mo Katz-Christy (they/them) is a queer Ashkenazi Jewish herbalist born and raised in Cambridge, MA on unceded Massachusett land. They approach herbalism by connecting folks to the knowledge they already have about their body and herbs through working with kitchen medicine, ancestral traditions, and mulberries falling on the sidewalk!

Mo graduated from a three-year clinical herbalism program at the Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism in 2022. They work one-on-one with clients to address the root imbalances that are causing dysregulation and to promote long-term healing. You can find out more about their work at mokatzchristy.com

• $25 ($15 + $10 for materials) - Bottom of the Scale: Meeting basic needs is often a source of stress, and you have little to no expendable income. Paying at this level makes the class more accessible.
• $35 ($25 + $10 for materials) - Middle of the Scale: You can usually meet your basic needs but may feel occasional financial stress. You have some expendable income and may buy new items or take occasional time off.
• $45 ($35 + $10 for materials) - Top of the Scale: You can comfortably meet your basic needs, have steady income, and may have expendable funds for savings, travel, or non-essentials. Paying at this level helps sustain access for others.

Choosing your spot on the scale is an act of community care - those who can contribute more help make it possible for others to participate.
