Food and Lodging for the Wise Woman Immersion

---

Food

Nourishment is at the foundation of the Wise Woman Tradition. And the Wise Woman Immersion Menu is an education in itself—about nourishment; about simple preparation methods that increase the nutrient availability in food; about herbal and wild foods. Seasonal foods are woven together with recipes primarily from Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions cookbook, which is also a text for the class. Prepared from scratch, of primarily local ingredients from organic farms, these meals draw gasps and exclamations all week long!

“OMG! The food was incredible!”

“I thought I was lactose intolerant, until I tried it this way, fermented into yogurt and crème fraiche the old-fashioned way, as lactose is meant to be eaten—with the lactase enzymes intact!”

“After eating this way for a week—both delicious and deeply nourishing and digestible—there’s no going back!”

See last year’s menu for a taste of what’s to come . . .
