PMS is honored to have Mario Ceballos sharing his brilliance & guest facilitating a knowledge share with us !
Indigenous Fungi Uses
In this knowledge share Mario will lead a storytelling discussion about indigenous fungi uses and how we can honor our ancestors by reconnecting with our fungal relatives. Throughout the world people have been using mushrooms and fungi for food, medicine, and divination since time immemorial and we too can share in the medicine that allowed our ancestors to survive and thrive. As we connect and learn our ancestral practices we intend to build stronger more resilient communities and more sustainable relationships with the land we live on.
