Kombucha Brewing Workshop

Are you a fan of kombucha? Learning to brew it yourself is easy, delicious and cheap!

The 2,000 year old tradition has a rich history of health benefits like improving digestion, boosting energy and helping your immune system. The probiotic nature of kombucha means it is full of beneficial bacteria that are good for your gut, body and mind.

What is kombucha? Kombucha is made from sweetened tea that's been fermented by a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (a.k.a SCOBY).

What will we do during the workshop? Participant will watch a demo of kombucha process from start to finish. Lila will cover history of kombucha, health benefits and how to do it at home safely. You will learn everything you need to know to make kombucha successfully at home. You will sample various homemade kombucha flavors and enjoy a salad with kombucha vinaigrette.

What do participants get to take home? All attendees will receive a Kombucha Starter Kit including: a brewing vessel, SCOBY, starter liquid, secondary fermentation bottle, cloth cover, and illustrated instructions.

Covid precautions: Proof of vaccination is required to attend this workshop. We will be inside and wearing a mask is required (N95 or KN95).

Meet your host:

Hello, I'm Lila!

​I am a loving SCOBY mom and Certified Nutrition Consultant from Oakland, California. I have been teaching kombucha brewing classes since 2012 and have shared my culture with thousands of people all over the world.

Brewing kombucha has seriously changed my life. I got my first SCOBY after volunteering on a farm on Vancouver Island and have been obsessed with it ever since. Brewing kombucha got me thinking about what I put in my body and how it makes me feel. It also empowered me to start making food myself that I'd usually purchase from the supermarket.

In addition to teaching kombucha classes, I run my own business as a Holistic Nutritionist and host corporate team building classes about food and nutrition virtually and in-person. I also have a private nutrition practice and specialize in digestive wellness, chronic skin conditions, fatigue, and hormonal issues. I struggled with terrible digestive and skin issues for many years, but that all changed when I started to shift what I ate. I've learned so much throughout my personal healing and professional experience. Its my goal to share the healing powers of food with folks in fun and delicious ways!
