No man is an island, nor are mushrooms! Mychorrhizal fungi, herbs, and trees are inherently intertwined in deep kinship, sharing their intelligences with each other, oftentimes for collective gain. Alas, in the commerce-driven modern “mushroom boom”, products are often touted for potency, purity, and might, yet stripped of the terrain, songs, cultural stewards, names, and storied ecology from which they come.
As the popularity of therapeutic fungi finds it's foothold in the colonized west, attitudes and approaches of the industrialized mind influence how we perceive medicine. Indeed- relationship is the antidote!
HOW DOES RELATIONSHIP POTENTATE OUR TONICS, OUR MEDICINES, AND OUR SACRAMENTS? Is stronger always better? What would it look like to engage with these organisms as beings nested in a living, relational terrain, as opposed to compounds that we use solely for personal gain?
Join us to explore ::
🍄 Ethnomycology of entheogenic fungi 101 :: history, lore, chemistry, and context
🌲 Looking up! Coniferous Tree Herbalism 101 :: Gain practical understanding of common barks, resins, and foliage
🌼 On Sweetness, birds, bees, and flowers :: It doesn’t have to be hard to work
🔮 Formulating like a nerdy animist :: Thoughtful and efficacious ways to vivify our tonics, tinctures, and teas
Let’s spark our experiences of reciprocity, where the medicine of place nourishes the body of self and the body of world alike!
There may even be a little mischievous but friendly gnome with a basket of forest floor libations & unusual desert pharmakon... you will have to be there to find out!
