“In this workshop, The Great Kosmic Kitchen will be sharing witchy recipes, how to easily incorporate medicinal herbs (and fungi) into your daily life, and why we shouldn’t be afraid of healthy fats! At the end of the workshop we will put everything we learned in bowl, and enjoy a small meal together.

You can look forward to learning about:

Traditional food preparation

Eating to nourish the spirit

Energetics of Fall and Winter

Why our body needs healthy fats

Adaptogenic roots and anti-inflammatory herbs

Soaking grains and making medicinal soups

Sarah and Summer first met in college, where they laid the foundation for The University of Central Florida’s very first community garden. They grew heirloom varietals, medicinal herbs, perennial vegetables, and even ate the weeds! The constant abundance in the garden allowed them to come home and experiment in their own kitchens.

After being introduced to the world of plants, they both set out on journeys to deepen this connection. Together they studied permaculture at The Regenerative Design Institute in Bolinas, California and Herbalisim at The Florida School of Holistic Living. Summer then ventured to Vermont to apprentice with Rosemary Gladstar, which led her to study at The California School of Herbal Studies in 2013. During this time, Sarah interned at Herb Pharm in Oregon, apprenticed at Tassjara’s Zen Kitchen, and then went on to study Amazonian plants in the Peruvian jungle.

In gratitude for these immersive experiences, Sarah and Summer share the wisdom they learn along the way. The Great Kosmic Kitchen showcases the art of incorporating plants, traditional preparations, and sacred rituals into daily life.”
