Foraging for mushrooms is a delight of the autumn season. It reconnects us back to our ancestral roots when we lived within a hunter gatherer societies. It connects us to our geographical location, environment and ecosystems around us. It grounds our soul deep within the earth almost as though the mycelium in the soil is reach up and grabbing hold of us and our inner world, holding us still, present and safe for just a moment. Sounds a bit hippy dippy, yes, but it’s true, when I forage, I feel mindful and present. I feel wild.

A veggie wet start to summer. This week week in our garden we are pulling the veggie patch to pieces and replanting after cabbage moth caterpillar plague.
