How does our immune system really work? And how do we nourish this system to build true longevity and quality of life?
Join us for this in depth workshop as we journey through the immune system. You will learn powerful ways to strengthen and support this vital system in the body.
Have you ever wanted to learn more about medicinal mushrooms? These medicines are key players in the world of longevity. We will be taking a close look at how these mushrooms interact with our cells and our immune system and the most potent ways to use them in your daily life.
Taking care of your immune system is more than a short term venture. This is a lifestyle. Learn how to incorporate heavy hitting immune supporting herbs into your meals and your daily life.
We live in a world much different than our ancestors. The food, water and even our air is not as clean and nourishing for us due to decades of mistreating our Mother Earth. This means we need to support our immune system with intention and dedication if we are to enjoy longevity and quality health.
Your guides for this workshop, Aron and Audrey, live what they teach. Both are avid foragers for medicinal mushrooms, herbs and wild foods. They have cultivated a lifestyle of well-being and their mission for this workshop is to share this invaluable wisdom with you.
This is the recording of our February 2024 workshop, which includes 8 videos and two in depth handouts.
