Workshop hosted by Claire Edwards from Tora Collective.
“Our business came alive from the need to solve a problem within the fishing industry. To keep kaimoana in Aotearoa, ensure our kiwi cuisine showcased the taonga of our shores and change the way these species were caught to protect the future of the species. There wasn’t a model to follow, so we created our own in order to achieve our goals and influence the fishing industry for a greater and more sustainable future.”

You'd be surprised how many people experience them - they have become normal symptoms for many, but they are far from normal. The great news is, these symptoms are often a result of an unhealthy gut and can be improved.
In this interactive workshop with Katie you will learn about what gut health actually is, common symptoms relating to poor gut health and why you could be experiencing them, how to overcome these symptoms by learning about the foods that harm your gut and foods that heal and nourish your gut.
Other programme features:
A place to connect, celebrate and create. To escape the demands of family life. To embrace out-of-the-box experiences in a rural setting, and head home more resilient, enthused - with a stash of tools in the toolbox. The inaugural Shepherdess Muster was held at Mōtū, Te Tairāwhiti, on the 16-18 February 2024.
The Shepherdess Muster is presented by Shepherdess.
