GUT FEELING: Exploring the Gut-Brain Axis
What if supporting your nervous system begins somewhere you might not expect?
In your gut.
The gut and brain are in constant communication through the gut–brain axis — influencing digestion, mood, sleep, immunity, inflammation and our ability to respond to stress.
For our October Wellness Saturday, we’re stepping inside this fascinating connection.
Not through another list of things you “should” be doing.
But through a day of understanding, experiencing and learning.
Together we’ll explore:
→ The Gut–Brain Axis
A simple, accessible introduction to the relationship between the microbiome, digestion, emotional wellbeing and nervous-system resilience.
→ The Art & Science of Kombucha
A hands-on fermentation experience with Janine Meyburgh of Artisan Kombucha. Learn how kombucha is made, why fermentation matters and how to confidently brew your own at home.
→ Breathwork
Gentle breathing practices to support regulation, digestion and a shift towards rest and restoration.
→ Gentle Movement
Slow yoga and mindful movement to create space through the abdomen, release tension and reconnect with the body.
→ Nourishment & Integration
A wholesome shared meal, meaningful conversation and quiet moments to simply slow down and take it all in.
This is not simply a kombucha-making class.
It’s an opportunity to understand the remarkable relationship between your gut and your nervous system — and to leave with simple, practical ways to nourish both.
You’ll leave with:
• Your own kombucha starter
• Confidence to continue brewing at home
• A deeper understanding of the gut–brain connection
• Practical nutrition insights
• Gentle nervous-system regulation practices
• Simple rituals you can take into everyday life
