Creating Your Own Garden Within Your Body: Cultivating Inherent Beauty Through Plants and Fermentation The key to this seminar is "gut flora." The intestines are home to a vast array of microorganisms, and their collective presence resembles a flower garden, hence the name. In other words, we all have a "garden" within our bodies. This seminar is an experiential program where you will spend three months tending to and nurturing this internal garden—your gut. Just as a garden's soil hardens and flowers can no longer bloom if neglected, the gut also needs care. In recent years, research has shown that the state of the gut influences mood, emotions, and thoughts, giving rise to the term "brain-gut axis." Much of the serotonin often called the "happiness hormone" is also found in the gut, and the idea that "happiness is cultivated from the gut" forms the foundation of this course.
