As the winter invites us to turn inward, join Master Herbalist and forager Kerri for an immersive afternoon exploring the deep, sustaining wisdom of medicinal mushrooms. This workshop is a unique opportunity to slow down and nourish yourself before the holiday rush, focusing on two of the most revered fungal allies: the calming, resilient Reishi and the focusing, neuro-supportive Lion's Mane.
Fueled by an incredible personal harvest, Kerri will guide you through the entire process of working with these powerful mushrooms.
You will learn:
Foundational health benefits and traditional uses of Reishi, Lion's Mane & more...
How to make potent mushroom decoctions and dual-extraction tinctures to capture both their water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds.
Practical tips for easily incorporating these mushrooms into your daily wellness routine, especially in warming winter foods like broths and soups.
Insights from an experienced forager on how to identify these mushrooms in the wild, focusing on key features, habitat, and sustainable harvesting practices.
Plus additional lesser-known mushrooms to look for in the forest (because everyone is looking for chaga and morels!)
We will also journey beyond the physical, exploring the unique energy and wisdom of the fungal kingdom. What does Reishi, the "Mushroom of Immortality," teach us about resilience? How does Lion's Mane, with its cascading, brain-like form, inspire mental clarity and creativity?
Workshop Includes:
In-depth instruction and handouts.
Live preparation demos.
Tasting samples of remedies.
BONUS:
For those wishing to take the magic home, a limited number of Kerri's handcrafted, small-batch Reishi and Lion's Mane tinctures from this year's harvest will be available for separate purchase.
Spots are strictly limited to 10 to allow for a rich, personal experience.
Pre-registration is required. Give yourself the gift of deep connection and practical skill this season.
