Weekend portion -
NewMoon Mycology Summit
August 10-12, 2018
Cost: $75-375 sliding scale INCLUDES meals & camping
Open to the public, walk-ins welcome, Registration encouraged
Three days of workshops, lectures & hands-on learning
A time and place where people can gather in the physical to re-energize, learn, exchange ideas, develop collaborations, and make connections, all with the spirit of reconnecting the disconnect in our culture, earth and communities. Although there is a focus on mycology, this event will be a platform for real change to take place and for people from diverse areas of expertise to learn from each other and to find common ground to solve real problems.
This event includes workshops & other hands-on learning experiences that encourage learning, idea-sharing, healing, research and creativity.

WHY the NEW MOON?
We are part of the greater ancestral cycles of the planet. Honoring and tuning into the moon cycles remind us of our true natural past. The darkness of the new moon represents a time of beginnings, unformed potential, and mystery. We honor the unknown future that can arise from the seeds we plant during this fortuitous time. With our hearts in the dark phase of the moon, and our bodies connected to the Earth, we seek the inclusion of womyn and the eventual dismantling of the fearful patriarchal hold on our world at large, calling forth inclusive iterations of mycology, the sciences, environmental justice, & more.

Fungi & their network of cells, called mycelium, do many tasks. They decompose organic matter into building blocks of life. They are responsible for distributing resources and hidden nutrients in soil, that only they can access, to other locations for plants to use. Like Mycelium, reaching to finite corners of its environment, to nourish & expand its network, this summit will make those same significant connections within the community at large.
We structured this week as if we were mycelium, those intelligent cells, running in a decentralized & efficient fashion. Through substrate both nourishing and toxin remediation. Working together, communicating, and building more resilient pathways and systems in order to achieve sustainable & just results. Feeding, sharing and connecting. Recomposing disequilibrium in the ecosystem. Mycelium makes connections between multitudes of species, through terrains of all kinds, structuring biological networks that underlie everything. We want to emulate their mode of being in service of creating new life.
That is why this isn’t just a mushroom gathering, but rather multidisciplinary summit. We are inspired by the integrative, collaborative role of the fungi to bring together people from all fields and walks of life, and recognize that it is our uniqueness as individuals that will allow us to overcome and integrate the challenges that lie in our human path. Mycology reminds us that there are balanced systems in place beyond the mycelial network, thus opening the stage for more topics and discussions to be a part of this weekend. We want to make a space so that voices, and skills, from the fringes are heard and honored.
We, within the Mycelium Underground have taken this to heart. We desire to create new, grassroots, restorative forms of science, justice & community within a collapsing system of paradigms in the crisis of the Anthropocene.

The main event and theme is indeed MYCO-themed but the summit is also open to other disciplines.
We welcome people from all mycological and Earth-based sciences to send us an application to share your skill sets, knowledge, studies and interests.
We welcome social justice organizations, organizers, community leaders, and others who fight for justice in human & animal rights, Earth defense, Pipeline resistance, gentrification and more. We welcome organizations & groups to table and share their info & work.
