    Fungal Connections

    Documentary Screening, Reishi Tea Ceremony and Creative Group Activity by Current Conservation Magazine and Fungi Foundation India
    Current Conservation Magazine, Fungi Foundation India,
    Mycology | Discussion

    Join us for a very special event between Fungi Foundation India and Current Conservation magazine, featuring a documentary screening of "The Mushroom Keepers" – an evocative short film that unveils the profound relationships between fungi and the Khasi and Garo communities of Meghalaya, India.

    The film explores how fungi shape spiritual and cultural worldviews through intimate conversations with community elders, revealing the intertwined loss of biodiversity and ancestral knowledge as old-growth forests dwindle.

    Current Conservation is a not-for-profit quarterly print and online magazine that works with scientists, researchers and artists across the world to tell stories from the field of conservation.

    This FREE event will begin with a welcome reishi tea ceremony, followed by presentations and discussions that bridge mycology, culture and conservation. After the film, we'll transition to an art-based activity inspired by the latest edition of Current Conservation.

    Beyond the formal program, there will be plenty of mycological wisdom shared through laughter and conversation. It's a chance to connect with like-minded enthusiasts while exploring the fascinating world of fungi through cultural storytelling and creativity.

    Come share in this unique opportunity to learn, create, and connect!
