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.
