Exploring Medicinal Mushrooms and Connecting with the Land
About
Working with medicinal mushrooms to gently open the senses and deepen connection to the energetics of the Earth.For much of human history, people lived in close relationship with the landscapes that sustained them. Across many cultures, plants and fungi were used not only for healing, but also to deepen awareness, strengthen connection with place, and support spiritual and ceremonial practices. Come and learn about the rich history of the medicinal mushroom and its role in the ancestral traditions of our indigenous forebears.
In this workshop, participants will work with a medicinal mushroom as part of a guided exploration of connection with the land.
The purpose of a sub-perceptive dose is to gently shift sensory perception, helping us step outside our usual patterns of thinking and engage more fully with our senses and surroundings.
Through guided exercises, quiet observation, and time spent in nature, we will explore how a subtle shift in awareness can open us to a richer experience of the landscape.
We will be working at Down Tor Stone Circle, where an ancient stone row leads to a cairn circle, providing a powerful focus for deepening into the experience of land, ancestry and the mushroom itself. Participants will be encouraged to slow down, listen deeply, and develop a more direct relationship with the living world around them.
This workshop is suitable for those interested in medicinal mushrooms, nature connection, ancestral traditions, and exploring the sacred Dartmoor landscape.
