Hi there,
Last Sunday marked the autumn equinox, that precious point of balance before the nights begin to lengthen into winter. It's autumn! The threshold of change and… mushroom season!
We were so excited to celebrate International Mushroom Day last week in the company of one of their greatest human advocates, Paul Stamets, at the beautiful EQUINOX festival.
We love these alchemists of nature and the way they turn darkness and decay into new life and nourishment. We also hosted a panel there on Psilocybin and Nature Connection with a group of incredible experts where we explored how psychedelics can help us us awaken to the reality that we are nature.
Nature connection is about so much more than being outside; it's about forming a relationship with the natural world - with the thousands of living things in our presence when we step into the woods or turn over a tree stump.
In honour of the season, this week we're highlighing our events in NATURE CONNECTION and all our upcoming foraging courses so you can learn the names and habitats of our fungal friends.
Thank you also to all our members who joined us for a wonderful Member's Evening with author and trauma therapist Bessel Van der Kolk and Licia Sky last Monday as we discussed the potential of psychedelic therapies for healing life-long trauma.

The demand for highly skilled and professionally trained psychedelic facilitators is experiencing rapid growth. Recognizing this need, the Synthesis Institute, drawing upon its pioneering history of offering legal psychedelic experiences to over 1,000 individuals, has developed the Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training, a 13-month educational journey designed for those eager to work in the psychedelic space, seeking a research-backed, wisdom-rich, somatically-informed, heart-centered approach to facilitation.
This is a fantastic training, facilitated by psychedelic leaders and expert practitioners which draws from clinical best practices and wisdom traditions and is continually refined through collaborations with prominent universities and research institutions. This course starts October 19th and there are very few spaces left so please enquire soon.

Join a year-long journey of nature connection

How do we heal uprooted selves and societies amidst unravelling modernity? Deracinated, uprooted, displaced, exiled, lost. These are common underlying experiences of the modern human. We are in turbulent times, both individually and collectively. Our friends at Rooted Healing are offering an extensive, deeply held year-long course to provide you with a map to navigate this initiatory threshold called Deepen Your Roots.
They do beautiful work in nature connection and opening the heart and mind to the animist world. If you're feeling called to reconnect with the cycles and wisdom of nature and initiate into the practices that can guide you, we certainly recommend you take a look at this.
