Mushroom Retreat 2023
7th to 9th November 2024
Mushrooms for wellbeing.
So we've been up on the moors looking for edible agaricus, colourful waxcaps and "interesting species" and now you would like to experience them in a beautiful, safe environment? Then come to the retreat, 2 nights at the tail end of the Autumn foraging season in a beautiful secluded location on the Lancashire West Pennine moors. The focal point is an octagonal roundhouse building with a spacious lounge and shared kitchen heated by a wood burner. Out at the front is a patio with a fire pit and a wood fired hot tub and sauna.
The idea is that we meet and greet and relax and unwind on day 1. Day 2 will start with yoga with Sadie and a walk accross the moors. With a bit of luck the mushrooms we are most interested in will still be growing. We will return to base and experience them. My intention is to introduce you to this side of foraging so that you will feel confident in your future journeys.
