Mushroom Meditations: A guided journey for Earth connection, imagination and insight
Welcome to an evening of guided mushroom meditation—a gentle, grounded space to slow down, connect inward, and explore your intuition.
This is a guided journey to connect with the Earth, your own inner guidance, the mushroom collective and Shiitake (our medicinal mushroom muse of the evening).
These journeys can help you connect to your imagination and intuition and receive answers, gain clarity or new perspectives, and reconnect with a quieter inner voice. Mushrooms are the masters of connection and transformation, and feeling into their energies can help us understand next steps for ourselves and the collective.
Experiencing these types of journeys in a group container can help strengthen our receptivity to new insight, as well as bring up collective themes that we share in common.
About Shiitake: An amazing source of nutritional umami nourishment and a classic in Traditional Chinese Medicine and other East Asian cultures. The mushroom helps with strengthening immunity, vitality and longevity.
(This is a sober, guided meditation experience—no psychedelics are used. The focus is on accessing these states naturally, through presence, imagination, and the support of the group field. No prior experience with meditation or mushrooms is needed.)
How the evening will go:
we begin by arriving slowly, settling into the space, and gently preparing body and attention for the journey
through tea or tincture we connect to the mushroom of the evening on a sensorial level
guided journey
pauses to write down insights, stretch, or simply notice what’s moving within you
small sharing in groups of three to land and slowly integrate our insight
collective sharing and gentle (mycelial) networking – witnessing each other is magic
People often leave these evenings with:
a clearer sense of their own intuition
a feeling of calm or nervous system reset
unexpected insights or understanding around communicating with the more-than-human
moments of connection, laughs, and good conversation
What to bring
curiosity
comfy socks and clothes/layers so that you feel good in your body (no shoes in the space)
your own journal and pen if you prefer
Limited to max. 16 spots.
A couple photos may be taken after the meditation part, when people are just talking and mingling. If you don't want your photo taken, please let me know – that is absolutely fine.
