Food as Medicine: Garden Veggies to Probiotic Pickles

Join us for a special workshop in our Story Harvest Series! This will be an enlightening journey into the world of fermentation with Tanya Himeji Romero. This event combines an informative talk with hands-on instruction, allowing participants to create and take home their own jar of probiotic pickles.

Learn how fermentation serves as a form of storytelling, a time capsule, and a path to wellness. Our instructor will share a playful approach to this ancient practice, encouraging you to prepare an intentional jar of vegetables that becomes both an energetic and medicinal ally.

Discover how this culinary experience can:

  • Frame your personal transformation story

  • Foster inclusivity and community

  • Unify body and soul

  • Connect you with your cultural roots and expand upon them

By the end of the session, you'll have gained knowledge, skills, and a jar of fermenting vegetables to continue your journey at home.

Tanya Himeji Romero is an artist whose vision for over a decade has materialized in her work as a forest farmer, plant steward, herbalist and culinary alchemist. While she believes any medium can be used to communicate our creativity, reverence and inherent connection, plants and food are her principal ones for their deeply resonant healing potential.

Japanese-Spanish in heritage, Canadian by birth, and now residing in the Hudson Valley, Tanya’s upbringing in the hands of contrasting cultural traditions, as well as her travels, necessitated the inner work of reconciling dissonance, which previously left her feeling isolated and confused. 

Intimacy with Nature reminded her that separation is an illusion. By surrendering to both the paradox and the infinite depth of connectivity in the context of her relationship to the Natural World, she has experienced the healing of a lifetime. It is from here and through the guidance of Nature that she has embraced her calling as a conduit for plant medicines to be regeneratively utilized in this world. 

 

Tanya believes that all being is relatedness and that at heart we all desire to be seen, heard, respected and nourished- this, a beautiful reality she generously communicates and cultivates within her work.
