Step into the mystical realm of Amanita Muscaria, the enchanting Fly Agaric mushroom that has captivated human imagination for millennia. Connect with its spirit in a profound and magical manner without having to ingest it.
Unveiling the Magic of Amanita
Amanita Muscaria, with its iconic red cap and white spots, has woven itself into the fabric of our collective consciousness through fairy tales, ancient folklore, and spiritual traditions. Often misunderstood and shrouded in mystery, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to explore the deeper wisdom and transformative potential of Amanita without any physical consumption.
A Journey Within
Through a carefully crafted series of gentle body awareness exercises, you will be guided into a state of deep receptivity. As we journey together, Amanita's presence will help create a powerful, sacred temple space for our exploration in which you'll have the opportunity to:
- Connect with your inner self on a profound level
- Attune to the subtle energies and wisdom of Amanita
- Experience a sense of unity with nature and the fungal kingdom
A safe, supportive and sacred space
What to expect:
- Demystifying common misunderstanding about fly agaric
- Creating a sacred space as a group and connecting to the sacred in yourself
- Learning to receive and trust your intuition
