Step into the mycelial web and explore the deep connection between medicinal mushrooms and the body’s vital energy—Qi. In this unique class, we’ll journey through the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to understand how fungi like reishi, cordyceps, lion’s mane, chaga, and others influence our organ systems, immunity, spirit (Shen), and Jing (essence).

Led by our resident acupuncturist, this class will illuminate:

• The energetic nature of different mushrooms and their effects on specific meridians
• How mushrooms support the Lung, Spleen, Kidney, and Heart systems in TCM
• The role of mushrooms in building Wei Qi (defensive energy) and adaptogenic resilience
• Practical ways to incorporate mushrooms into your daily wellness rituals
• A hands-on tasting of medicinal mushroom teas or tinctures
• Time for Q&A and integration

Whether you're new to herbal medicine or deeply rooted in Eastern healing, this class offers a grounded, fungi-rich perspective on how the ancient world of mushrooms meets the timeless flow of Qi.
