Harvest The Medicine

an integration journey

Ten live gatherings to carry the festival home: from a healthy relationship with self, to the sacred, to real action in your community. Donation-based, and open to everyone, flowing into the Medicine Mycelium - to become an ongoing catalyst for local stewardship and community action.

The invitation

The festival opens you. This is what holds you after.

Medicine cracks something open. Within weeks the world rushes back in and the insight fades. Weaving the Medicine is a ten-part container that keeps the fire alive: moving slowly, staying connected, and turning what you felt into what you build where you live.

i

Live, every fortnight

Ten gatherings online, from 25 August to 5 January 2027. Come as you are, from wherever you are.

ii

Held by wisdom carriers, thought leaders, and experts

Guides and teachers walk each theme with us, from the sacred to community regeneration.

iii

Self to network

The journey moves outward: a healthy self, a living community, and a mycelial network of action.

The journey · ten gatherings

Week by week, self to network.

Each gathering builds on the last. Dates are fixed; themes are a living outline, shaped with the wisdom carriers in the room. All sessions run 19:30 to 21:00 UK time.

Week 10 · 22 December 2026Change

Do We Really Want to Change?

While many of us speak about wanting to take the journey from the mind to the heart, few actually commit to walking the path. By understanding the subtle nature of the mind, we can begin to work with it rather than be controlled by it, and create lasting transformation in our lives.
