Reconnect with nature at a slower, more intentional pace on a curated walk, mycology class, and art experience. Explore the fascinating world of fungi with identification tips and insights from your guides.
Led by experienced and knowledgeable mycologists, observe and learn about all aspects of these fascinating organisms, like the explosive spore ejection of the Dead Man's Fingers, or the culinary cooking tips for Chicken of the Woods.
Get an introduction to the essential role fungi play in sustaining ecosystems—from enriching soil health to supporting plant life and maintaining ecological balance. Touch, smell, and understand fungi in a way that is both intellectually enriching and engaging, encouraging observation, reflection, and appreciation of the natural world.
Complementing the walk, a carefully curated art activity invites you to engage creatively, offering space for personal expression inspired by your surroundings. Engage with observing, drawing, printing, and capturing shapes in visual and writing forms to document and express your experiences. Art activities include graphite drawings, watercolor sketching, cyanotypes, texture printing, shadow forms captures, and more.
Both the walk and the art activity will differ every time. Learn more every time! Ideal for those who appreciate nature, fungi, and meaningful experiences, this offering blends education, artistry, and meditative experience in an intimate setting. A perfect outing for those that are stuck in the day-to-day city life and want a taste of the outdoors from a unique perspective without going too far.
