Medicinal Mushroom Art Workshop with Jessie-Anne

Join Jessie-Anne, Naturopath and botanical art lover, for a unique workshop combining herbal wisdom and creativity. In this session, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of medicinal mushrooms.  🍄

You will explore how mushrooms like Shiitake and Turkey Tail are able to support health, what makes them so powerful and how you may be able to incorporate them into your daily life.

You’ll then be guided to sketch and paint the mushroom you feel most drawn to. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a total beginner, this workshop is all about embracing your creativity, learning something new, and connecting with nature in a hands-on, joyful way. 

Enjoy a relaxed afternoon filled with good vibes, music, great company and learning about some pretty cool plants (mushrooms!)  🍄 🌿
