Relating with the wisdom of mycelium through embodiment practice, community weaving, and expansive creativity
Anna Wermuth, she/her
I am an ecologist, animist, eco-sensualist, artist, and kitchen witch with a highly sensitive nervous system and a devotion to entangled ways of being.
Mycophilia—a wholehearted fervor for fungi—has rooted me in the meaning-making of mycelial metaphor and the highly tangible, erotic experience of interrelating with hyphal networks and fruiting bodies.
Through this connectivity with mycelium, I have learned to come into my own somatic sensing of the world around me in a way that is rooted, pleasurable, and transformative.
As a result, I am able to participate in relational practices of kin-making and community way-finding, while composting that which has caused great harm and destruction in myself and in our world.
My inherent gifts that tether me to reciprocity are:
Communication & Facilitation
Ecological Curiosity & Observation
Intuitive Empathy & Sensitivity
Cooking & Medicine Making
Sharing Modes of Embodiment for Trauma Recovery
If you are seeking opportunities to release grief and shame, reconnect with earth-based knowledge, and tether yourself to the web of interconnectivity that defines life on our planet, I invite you to explore my offerings and reach out with any questions you may have.
In gratitude, Anna
