Dead Man's Flats

H﻿ave you ever wondered whether those mushrooms you see on your walks in the forest are edible or medicinal? The season of the mushroom is upon us and it&#x27;s the ideal time to start learning to identify all the incredible edible and medicinal mushrooms that are hidden just outside of plain sight.This Outdoor Mushroom Identification workshop will help you learn to find them, identify them and begin a fascinating journey down the rabbit hole into the healing power of mushrooms.A﻿nd rather than just learning from a book, an app or something you saw on the Internet... why not learn from a knowledgable guide who can help you learn from the forest itself?W﻿hat You Will Learn:You will learn through all your senses on a unique sensory immersion adventure in one of the most beautiful forests in the Canadian Rockies along the Bow River Flats just outside of the town of Canmore, Alberta.Y﻿ou will discover a series of mindful walking practices for immersing yourself in the stillness and awe of the forest so you can relax your mind and more fully tune into the living, breathing, animate world of plants, trees and fungi.F﻿inding mushrooms is as much an art as a science. It comes down to learning where they like to grow and the patterns of growth and decay, warmth and coolness, rainfall and lightning that line up to cause large clusters of mushrooms to bloom.M﻿ushrooms are actually the fruiting reproductive bodies of underground &quot;fiber-optic&quot;-like networks of mycelium that interconnect the trees and plants through their roots systems in what&#x27;s been called the Wood Wide Web.I﻿n a way they are the crucial part of the web of life that makes terrestrial life on Earth possible and when you start learning to identifying common edible and medicinal mushrooms that grow abundantly it can be a catalyst for rewilding your senses and health.You&#x27;ll learn to let go of what you think you know, from all those thoughts spinning in your head and start to quiet your analytical mind so you can tune your feeling sense into the forest and discover the joyful playfulness of mindful mushroom hunting.W﻿hy Mushrooms?There&#x27;s a fascinating billion year long story of fungi. As the linchpin of nature’s organic recycling and detoxification system, they are crucial for the health of soils, forests and human beings.Yet very little is known about them… they are one of nature’s enduring mysteries and studying the living wisdom of fungi and forests ecology may offer the missing link to a more regenerative approach to restoring our environment and healing ourselves.A﻿long with mindful sensory immersion practices, you&#x27;ll also learn about the key role of fungi in the evolution of life and the latest scientific research into medicinal mushrooms and their healing compounds that are adaptogenic, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, immune-stimulatory, trauma-relieving, gut-balancing and mood-elevating.A﻿fter the workshop, you will get a digital Mushroom Identification Field Guide for Identifying Mushrooms in Alberta And BC that you can use anywhere on your smartphone and you&#x27;ll learn how to start building the pattern recognition skills by cataloging what you find with your smartphone to find mushrooms clusters and identify some of the important mushrooms that are very high in nutrients and medicinal compounds.A﻿bout The Instructor:K﻿yle Pearce is a flow seeker, awe enthusiast and experience designer who helps people build mindful habits that stick through his experiential learning company <a href="https://www.diygenius.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">DIY Genius</a>.O﻿ne of his favourite mindfulness practices is mindful walking and mushroom hunting and he has been leading mushroom ecology workshops and retreats since 2016 in Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica.H﻿e started <a href="https://www.mindfulecotourism.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mindful Ecotourism</a> in 2016 leading forest meditation workshops in Stanley Park near his home in Vancouver and today he leads mindful hiking adventures in the mountains of Western Canada in the summer and South America in the winter that explore mindful ecotherapy, peak experiences and local ecotourism projects.
