Lion's mane chai & storytelling X dinner X live flute
We are so excited to invite you to our second Winter edition, welcoming Elle from Bristol Fungarium & Kyle Rose in a cosy ritual gathering to entertain all the senses, including the felt one. An intuitive gravitation towards earth and celebration of the glorious nesting season, with time to dream to music, feast on moreish food and learn the stories of old and new surrounding the coveted Lion’s Mane mushroom. Candlelit and humming with the tantalising smells of dinner by Joey, the intention behind this one is to savour the many stories Winter has to share, and flip the narrative on its all just ‘cold and sogginess.’
Opening the evening will be a ceremonial introduction to some of the history, folklore and mycelial magic surrounding the Lion’s Mane mushroom across various cultures. Followed by chats and questions, as we serve Lion’s Mane Chai (infused with other supportive plants) to inspire a meaningful relationship with the everyday and ancient practice of tea, and its abundant healing capabilities.
After teatime and as the ‘cosmic grandad’ of the mushroom world - much celebrated for its gentle stimulation of mental clarity and focus - softly lands, you’ll be invited to bring a little Wintery something, maybe a leaf, stone, poem or treasured item, that collectively we'll build into a natural mandala. In the weaving and building we’ll create a meditative centrepiece around which we can sit and eat.
Following our hot dinner, Kyle will share his beautiful double Native American flute. Half immersive gig, half sound journey, you can expect an opportunity to fully doze off while digesting and integrating. And by immersing yourself in the resonance of sound a deeply meditative and expansive state often arises. One where Winter’s healing unfolds naturally.
Ticket covers storytelling ceremony, mandala making, a hot dinner & live flute.
