Medicinal Mycology: Adaptogenics (Mushrooms, Herbs & Mental Wellbeing)

Welcome to Medicinal Mycology, the first event of The People's Medicine Series in which we explore the profound healing of working with the natural medicine.  Within this community-centered educational series we highlight an exploration in mental wellbeing, the nervous system and ways in which we may synergize medicinal mushrooms and adaptogenic herbs to promote newfound mental resilience.  This overarching theme will guide us through the art and science of mycology as we dive into a diversity of other subjects that can inspire us to work with these medicines on a deeper level.  You will receive a foundational understanding in:

• Mycology - The Science of Fungi  
• An Essential Introduction to Mushroom Cultivation
• Healing with Functional Fungi
• Healing with Entheogenic Mushrooms 
• Working with Stress, Anxiety, Trauma, Depression PTSD & Addiction
• Accompanying Herbal Allies: Adaptogens and 'Nervines' for Supportive Wellness

Our mission is to promote resilience and resourcefulness within our community so we can help support the growing epidemic of mental health, chronic stress and various mental conditions that seem to be emerging at this time.  We open this series to those who wish to work intently with natural medicine with themselves and act as leaders within their communities.  The diversity of modalities for healing Nature offers is nothing short of awe-inspiring, and in returning back to nature, we can begin to how to take significant strides towards greater holistic wellbeing.

A Note from the Host

My name is Jonathan Fredette, founder of Evolved Wellness and Evolved Mushrooms, and I have had the privilege to lead a number of educational workshops and community gatherings for the past 6 years.  My intent is to inform with a lens that is both rooted in scientific understanding as well as direct experience, with each helping inform the other. I am deeply passionate about supporting a broader lens of holistic education that supports my community in supporting themselves and their close friends and family with a deeper understanding of the healing sciences.  This is a people's medicine and I believe we all have the right to take up the authority within each of our lives to better ourselves with the gifts nature intends for us.  We simply need to know how... If this resonates with you I humbly invite you on this journey down the rabbit hole with us.
