Mushrooms and the Rainforest
TBA in November 2026
The science is clear, the fungal world, when understood in the greater ecosystem, provides a better understanding for the whole. We'll do this from both a scientific and an indigenous perspective.
I want to know moreNature First, The Rest Follows
We'll send our time exploring the forest for it's incredible wildlife while using our hands to make things, and and eat things. After that will we look inward.
Mushroom Education
Learn about the fungal world and it's role in our lives via discussions, field walks, and forays - scientific and sacred.
Community
The people we bring together are the most important part of the group and people you'll have lasting bonds with forever.
Tropical Resilience
Connect to how locals have thrived in this forest. Catch your own fish. Climb a coconut tree for it's milk. Forage wild fruit.
Nature Connection
Walk barefoot in the forest. Bath in the forest. Learn powerful science backed ways to help nature heal you.
The Science
Groundbreaking research from Johns Hopkins demonstrates that mushrooms possess the power to treat depression, addiction, and anxiety more effectively than many modern pharmaceuticals. While western medicine only recently embraced these findings, indigenous cultures have utilized these fungi for millennia.
I studied these mushrooms for twenty years before ever experiencing them myself. As a scientist, I required the lens of data and peer reviewed research to feel comfortable. However, I now recognize that certain profound truths are revealed when certain parts of the brain are effected by these compounds.
I am doing this retreat to provide a space where science-minded individuals can explore this frontier in a secure and professional environment. Imagine venturing to the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica where the air invigorates you and the jungle teems with life. Here, you will immerse yourself in the rainforest, study the world of fungi, and undergo a guided ceremony that is both therapeutic and transformative. Whether you seek to unlock creative potential or forge a deeper connection with yourself, this journey guarantees an experience you will never forget.
