Join us for a hands-on Low-Tech Mushroom Cultivation Workshop! 🍄

Learn how to grow mushrooms using simple, low-cost techniques and locally available farm residues or household waste. This hands-on workshop covers the basics of fungi, substrate preparation, bucket cultivation, and how spent mushroom buckets can be transformed into fungal beds that improve soil health and close the nutrient cycle.

Each participant will prepare their own mushroom bucket to take home and learn a system that can be easily replicated in farms and backyards. The session also explores the importance of native fungi and their role in building resilient, regenerative ecosystems.

Mushroom cultivation bucket (optional): ₹300 at cost price.

*2 August 2026 | 2:00 – 4:00 PM (Sunday)*

*Facilitated by Ishan – Mycophile & Mushroom Cultivator*

It was a delight to host Rahul Tola for an insightful two-hour workshop, "Thinking Like an Ecosystem." : From Metacrisis to Regeneration

The session offered participants a fresh perspective on the interconnected ecological, social, and economic challenges of our time through the lens of whole systems thinking. Drawing inspiration from nature and the principles of permaculture, Rahul invited us to think like an ecosystem, seeing relationships, patterns, resilience, and interconnectedness as the foundation for regenerative design.

Through interactive discussions and reflection, the session encouraged participants to see the world through a systems lens, drawing inspiration from ecosystems to better understand complexity, resilience, and regeneration.

Thank you, Rahul, for facilitating such a thought-provoking and engaging learning experience, and to everyone who joined us for an afternoon of shared learning and meaningful conversations.

The human body is a remarkable living system. Every moment, it regulates temperature, repairs damaged tissues, replaces worn-out cells, fights infection, adapts to physical and emotional demands, and works continuously to maintain internal balance. These processes take place quietly and automatically, often without our awareness.

In this interactive workshop, we'll explore the body's remarkable capacity to maintain health, adapt, and heal. Together, we'll discover how the human body functions, the conditions that support its natural processes, and how a deeper understanding of the body can help us make more informed choices for our health and well-being.
