Do you want to learn about mushrooms? Do you want to learn about the fungal queendom?

Join our fungal faculty and learn how to grow your own food and medicine. 

Enjoy this 5 day (6 night) hands-on training retreat at the wonderful Ferme  Papillons in the South of France, September 4 - 9.

About the Farm:

Ferme Papillons is run by Baptiste & Manon. It is a micro vegetable farm conducted in biological agriculture with minimum soil work. Baptiste has integrated his knowledge on the Medicine Wheel  (which he was offered to learn from an indigenous tribe) into the land and he hosts ceremonies using Tabacco Rustico. The Medicine Wheel is a Native American tradition with multiple functions and was used to share knowledge about ourselves and our (natural) surroundings. 

What to expect:

This training retreat will take you through all the steps of mushroom cultivation, teaching you the skills and techniques to confidently start growing your own food and medicine. You will learn how to obtain, culture and propagate mycelium, indoor- and outdoor cultivation techniques, how to make mushroom extracts and much more. 

This retreat is intended to (re)connect with our nature and community, to learn from and with each other.
To maintain an intimate group, spaces are limited.  

You are invited to take a break from your daily stress and (re)connect and explore your relationship with fungi, guided by Marosca
