Festive Gut Health & Fermentation Workshop - Ferments for Festive Balance

This work shop will take place in the lovely St Peters Community Hall and Garden, in Fairwater, Cardiff.

Discover the art of fermentation with Laure Boutrais, naturopath and founder of the award-winning South Wales–based Water Kefir and Sauerkraut company, Absorb Health.

Join Laure for a hands-on, seasonal workshop where you’ll discover how to keep your gut happy and balanced through the indulgence of the holidays. Learn how simple, delicious ferments can support digestion, boost immunity, and bring vibrant flavour to your festive table.

Together, we’ll explore the connection between our inner health and the natural processes that sustain it.

You’ll make your own sauerkraut to take home, learn the craft of water kefir, and enjoy a variety of tastings inspired by traditions from around the globe.

Laure will share health and well-being tips for the seasonal change from Autumn to Winter, the importance of looking after our gut particularly for boosting our immunity throughout the colder months, as well as insights into the role of fermented foods in nurturing the gut.
