Flyer by Nature Hood

Join us for a unique nature-immersive experience in collaboration with Nature Hood & Black Lotus our very first collaborative event, this Guided Hike & Fungi Foray is designed to reconnect you with the earth, your community, and your inner childlike wonder.

We’ll begin the day with a community tea ceremony, led by Akilkuumba, clinical herbalist practitioner. We will gather as a community to sip, reflect, and set intentions before heading on our journey. This moment offers a space to honor our inner child and prepare ourselves to receive the forest.

From there, Jaelon Wright—Colorado-based photographer, mycologist, and founder of Ryyse Creations—will guide us on a fungi foray. Learn to find, identify and photograph local mushroom species while deepening your connection to the land.

Following the hike, we'll close the day under the stars with optional camping, surrounded by like-minded souls, storytelling, and shared curiosity.
