We’ll learn about the forgotten language that all beings speak and then how to learn to listen and be in relationship with that. She shares the message that the sacred plants are saying. The talk further explores the necessity of CHALLENGE in our life and how this relates to a diverse microbiome both in our bodies and soil. She is a fascinating mix of western and native thought.

Fungi are the underrepresented kingdom (or queendom). Its Flora, Fauna, and Fungi… but you rarely hear that. Guiliana is the one getting fungi back into curriculum and schools. Giving a voice to something is the first step to being able to protect it and value it. Paul Hawken, Author & Activist

The full interview is a must watch for anyone interested in our earth. Merlin Sheldrake Ph.D, Author & Mycologist Enjoy this excerpt from our conversation with Merlin Sheldrake Ph.D, author and mycologist who came out of Cambridge University with his work in underground fungal networks. In the full length video (Available in your Premium Access “Voices from the Underground”) we’ll reveal how fungi are the tour guides to a bigger story of life! We talk of how life and nature are much more intimate than you realize, but also that fungi aren’t always cute, they can be the sharks too. The fungi that decompose can save our soil, so we need to start looking and listening to them. In this deep conversation we learn the remarkable properties and complexities of the underground mycelial networks. Sometimes we forget about that because it’s hard to see beneath our feet, but it’s much like the internet, always keeping things connected. Contemplate deep questions with Merlin, and realize that fungi are closer to humans than they are plants…

Hear about how to approach the whole idea of preservation, it’s not what you think. Is it possible that the mushrooms are using us, rather than us using them? Can we change from value to love? Can we combine culture and nature protection? Elinoar and her unique connection with desert truffles is a fascinating discussion. Deserts cover 1/5th of the land, so perhaps we should look there for mushrooms too… Mark Plotkin Ph.D, Ethnobotanist Enjoy this excerpt from our conversation with Mark Plotkin Ph.D, renowned ethnobotanist who has studied traditional indigenous plant use with elder shamans (traditional healers) of Central and South America for 30 years. In the full length video (Available in your Premium Access “Voices from the Underground”) It’s probably good to know that an ethnobotanist studies why societies have come to use plants for certain purposes. With that in mind, Mark takes us into the real history of psychedelic mushrooms and who actually first discovered that the indigenous were using them for healing. Would you like to know about the

first indigenous that started seeing climate change and seeing rare psychedelic mushroom varieties stop growing due to that change. And then hear about the incredibly important talk of the indigenous use vs commercialization “problem” we face with psilocybin.

At times, he helps take us through the science of growing, but put it into layman’s terms. We talk biomimicry. We talk about the language of symbols that are not learned.
