Fermentation as Alchemy: Healing the Gut, Trusting the Unseen
Wednesday Mar 25, 2026
Wednesday Mar 25, 2026
Austin Durant, founder of the Fermentors Club and author of Fearless Fermenting, joins us at the Tales of Recovery Studio to talk about fermentation as a pathway to reconnecting with the body, the gut as intuition, and food as medicine!
Austin has been fermenting food for fifteen years. In 2011 he founded Fermenters Club, whose mission is to improve people’s lives by teaching them why and how to make and enjoy fermented foods; and to create communities that are connected through their guts.
Austin has taught hundreds of fermented food workshops such as sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi, kombucha, miso, and sourdough bread.
He leads public workshops and private team-building workshops for corporations and other small groups, and hosts multi-day fermentation intensive workshops. Austin has spoken at numerous conferences in the U.S. and Europe.
In 2024, he published his first book, Fearless Fermenting.
When not stuffing things into jars, Austin enjoys gardening, practicing permaculture, cooking, yoga, writing, and studying cosmology, new physics and the natural world.
