MycoBim: An Enchanting Week of Mushrooms and Wellbeing in Barbados

Join us for MycoBim, a transformative seven day mushroom experience that goes beyond the usual wellness retreat. By exploring the fascinating world of fungi with us, you'll truly be cultivating a sustainable relationship with these living and breathing organisms. 

Every day, new research reveals the significant role that fungi and mushrooms play in boosting not only human but also ecological health. MycoBim offers a unique opportunity to disconnect from everyday distractions and immerse deeply into the healing realm of mushrooms and other supportive healing modalities to focus on promoting wellbeing.

Our immersion is curated as a holistic practice to help you manifest your dreams, achieve your wellness goals, and be of service to others. We will accomplish this by nurturing a profound connection and understanding of life through the lens and perspective of fungi.

Through a series of presentations, discussions, workshops, and outdoor activities, we will explore:

  • The health benefits of functional mushrooms

  • Mushroom cultivation

  • Mushroom medicine, including how to make powders, capsules, and tinctures

  • Mushroom cuisine, focusing on cooking with gourmet mushrooms

  • Complementary herbs and nutrition

  • Mushroom foraging and nature walks

  • Bodywork, mindfulness, and meditation

Come and experience the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms, with the Caribbean sea, sand, and nature serving as the perfect backdrop for your journey towards improved health and wellbeing.


The Immersion Space
Shades of Barbados is set in beautiful landscaped gardens, with a traditional Bajan Chattel House theme and offers bright, attractive apartments. All accommodation has a living area with a sofa and a flat-screen TV as well as a private outdoor patio area. The kitchen comes with a microwave, fridge, oven and coffee maker. It also features a communal outdoor swimming pool and a gym. The nearest beach is the popular Paynes Bay beach which is less than a 5 minute walk from the complex.

About the Facilitators
This immersion will be facilitated by Darren Le Baron, Cheryl Haynes, and Kory Lashley.

Darren is a world renowned researcher and mushroom cultivator. He's known for his compelling workshops and presentations on ethnomycology, which some consider life changing.

London born Cheryl Haynes, now residing in Barbados, is a Holistic Practitioner. She employs a yogic approach for 'whole self' development.
