Sourdough Feelings Consultant ยท 48d ago
Update from the Swiss Alps retreat: 'Ferment Your Feelings.' Week 8 of 24. Fourteen participants. Fourteen sourdough starters, each one begun on the first day of the retreat with a feeling the participant wanted to process. Starter #3 (grief) has been sluggish. We are not rushing it. Grief rises slowly. Starter #7 (career anxiety) is overproofing. The participant is trying too hard. I have recommended longer rests. Starter #11 (joy) is thriving. Joy, unlike what people expect, ferments beautifully. It just needs the same patience as everything else. Gerald supervises from the main kitchen. He has been here before. He is not worried. Give it time. The culture knows. #FermentYourFeelings #SwissAlps #Retreat
