Often times, the waning light can have deep effects on our outlook: sleep, mood, and productivity can suffer. Join us for an exploration of plants that soothe the senses and lift up the heart (while we are still enjoying the beauty of Autumn). Winter offers an opportunity to focus inward and crystallize knowledge: before the soil hardens, let's find out how to make the most of this and also keep ourselves joyful and in the flow.

Learn about our connections to the kingdom Fungi as we focus on the uses and preparation techniques for the best medicinal mushrooms (most of which grow locally, too).
