The Love + Power of Medicinal Mushrooms

Together we navigate the complex web & ancient world of medicinal mushrooms.  Explore how they grow in nature then, how they nurture us in return. Explore the deep history humans have with medicinal mushrooms & their power to heal. Identifying uses, and ways to prepare them. We will demonstrate the vast options and diversity of properties within just a handful of selected varieties.  The most common and popular we will look at & work with is the Reishi or Lingzhi mushroom, the legendary ‘Mushroom of Immortality.’  

Journey through other divine healers in the wild, the Turkey Tail mushroom, Lion’s Mane mushroom, & the common culinary mushroom, the Shiitake.  Learn about how each of these mushrooms exists in nature, how we can cultivate a working relationship with them in our health regimens and of course keep them sacred and wild where they deserve to remain.  Raising awareness of the growing market for these healers and what it means for us to do our part to grow our own, and explore the ethics of this huge growing industry.
