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
  • Deep introspection and self-discovery
  • A heightened state of awareness and connection with your body
  • Being witnessed and witnessing others in nonverbal and verbal ways
  • Reflection and integration of personal experiences in pairs and as a group
  • Being held in a supportive non-judgemental learning space

No prior experience with plant medicine or meditation is necessary. This workshop is suitable for anyone curious about exploring consciousness, connecting with nature's wisdom, and delving deeper into self-understanding.

Discover Your Authentic Self

Journeying with Amanita may help you:

  • Gain new perspectives on your life's path
  • Uncover personal insights and hidden aspects of your psyche
  • Cultivate a deeper connection with nature and the fungal realm
  • Unlock creativity and inspiration
  • Develop tools for personal growth and transformation

Join us for this journey into the heart of fungi consciousness, guided by the spirit of one of nature's most enigmatic teachers. Emerge with a renewed sense of self, a deeper connection to the natural world, and tools to continue your journey of self-discovery.

There were no expectations and I was very open to the new experience, nevertheless some initial awkwardness and clumsiness from my side. Claire was very welcoming and I felt the safe space created allowed me to dive deep and explore movement and relaxation with ease. I liked the fact there was no music and we only followed some gentle prompt that easily led to spontaneous individual expression. Very satisfied with the experience and looking forward to attend more in the future. Thank you for reminding me to strengthen the feral me, Claire x
