!!PRESENTER ANNOUNCEMENT!! for the @traditionalknowledgegathering We are beyond elated to see our loved one, Mario Ceballos of the @pocfungicommunity Mario will be offering a fireside discussion, facilitating topics like the commodification of the Sacred, Land Back, autonomy, community building + organizing. Mario will also discuss this gem: Restoring our Relationship with Fungi Mario Ceballos of POCFC will talk about Huitlacoche as an ancestral food to reclaim. Mario has been drawing inspiration from this ancient ancestor for the past year and has allowed the lessons to ground their understanding of the times we are living in. Mario will share from the heart about the way Huitlacoche and other fungi have been waiting for us to come back and remember our ancient relationships with them. Mario Ceballos (he/him/they) is of Yoheme ancestry who lives on occupied Kumeyaay land. Mario is the co-founder of POC Fungi Community (POCFC). The POCFC is an intersectional space for BIPOC people to safely speak + learn about science, environmental and social justice, spirituality, food sovereignty, and access to medicinal and edible fungi, and so much more. Mario will facilitate a space where we can share stories about our fungal kin and how we can incorporate their lessons into our collective healing and liberation. Mario has been involved in social justice movements since their preteens + uses those experiences to organize around mycology and more specifically ethnomycology, the study of humans in relation to the fungal Queendom. Mario is a stay at home parent of three children & when they are not on a nature walk with their little ones or organizing community events, they enjoy reading books and cooking for friends and family. more info and register at: www.mycobotanica.com Our gathering is donation based, sliding scale. we have a great form on our website to show you what this really means ;) no one is turned away for lack of funds we offer home cooked meals during the weekend, speakers, camping & live music ! please share & support so we can treat our guest speakers + YOU cozy and well. in solidarity #commodificationofthesacred #pocfungicommunity (at Adirondack Mountains) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR6LmaYNN6B/?utm_medium=tumblr
