Entheoscaping with Fungi
This session is a holistic forest floor workshop and discussion about the role of fungal allies in building and maintaining healthy human habitats. Focusing on understanding of the fungal way of life, their roles and processes with other life forms and the practical ways that we can assist healing of earth and self through cooperation with these organisms. Working with and enriching the fungal diversity in anthropic habitats accelerates ecosystem processes, enhances biodiversity and engenders human connection to ecology. By understanding their biology and engaging with it we can draw in a healthy mycoflora to enhance and detoxify our constructed environments.
