Welcome to the Broke Cuties Foraging Club! This is a once-a-month, donation-based foraging workshop, intended to increase the accessibility of foraging for folks with lower incomes who can't otherwise afford to attend. All are warmly welcome, but the broke cuties who are particularly in need of some nature/foraging magic are extra encouraged to come along!

Now that we're approaching autumn, it's time to start thinking about mushrooms! Join wild food guide Simka (they/them) for an afternoon wander through Grunewald, where we will get acquainted with a wonderful range of mushrooms, from the common, beginner-friendly edible varieties to the bizarre, toxic and strange beings who pop up alongside.

Together we'll explore and discuss how to find, identify, harvest, and prepare the edible mushrooms currently in season as well as their planty companions in the forest. No experience is necessary.

This tour will place special emphasis on creating and sustaining community – both with other humans, and also with the non-human world.

The workshop language is English, though German mushroom names and other translation support is happily given along the way upon request.

All are welcome, regardless of income! Please donate within your capacity. If you are experiencing financial precarity, please donate whatever is comfortable for you. If you have secure income and/or savings, please choose a higher donation to help subsidize these tours for those who would otherwise be unable to attend.

I ask for a 6€ minimum donation because in my experience, people often register but don't show up for “free” events. However, if even 6€ is challenging to spare but you're committed to attending, just send me an email and I'll send you a special registration link.

To help give a donation framework, it might be useful to know that my usual foraging workshops cost 57€, that I lose 2.1% + €0.99 per ticket in fees, and that I live off this income. Many thanks for your contribution!

Where: Grunewald (~ 4km walking in total)

Suggested donation: 25-35€. Please contribute whatever you can!

Please help maintain the accessibility of these tours by notifying me 48 hours or more before the start of the workshop if you do not intend to come. Refunds, minus processing fees, are possible for tickets cancelled 7 days or more in advance.

Once you are registered, you will receive an email with all details on what to bring and the exact meeting location.

The meeting and ending point for the tour are accessible with public transportation. The exact meeting point, along with what to bring, will be sent via email after registration. Don't forget to read your confirmation email carefully!
