Walking with the Ancestors: An exclusive conversation with Darren Le Baron

Darren Le Baron is back at Love Shack for an exclusive intimate evening, where we'll gather for an interactive vibe and dine session exploring his recent travels across Southern Africa.

Hear firsthand stories from the past year as Darren learned from Khoisan, Zulu, Basotho, and Himba knowledge keepers. He'll share reflections on what these living traditions can teach us about ecology, resilience, and community.

This evening is an invitation to sit in circle and hear travel notes that braid together ancestral wisdom, mycology, and contemporary challenges from land stewardship and eco-conservation to youth education.

Darren will explore what it means to be a guest on Indigenous land, how to approach cross-cultural learning with humility, and why mushroom cultivation, wild foods, and community gardening are vital tools for building resilient communities today.

This is an interactive session with plenty of opportunities to ask questions, share your own experiences and perspectives, and explore together what can be done in the future to support Indigenous wisdom, ecological regeneration, and community resilience.

Dining is optional — you're welcome to join just for the conversation and vibe, or stay for a meal together.
