Mushrooms want you to be part of the living biome. Mushrooms want you to be interwoven once again into the fabric of nature. In the mushroom mind, you have no interest in human constructs. For some reason, you don’t want to look at them. They don’t look beautiful. Even the Golden Gate Bridge in the mushroom mind is not something you want to look at. I don’t know why this is. But I know that it's true on the experiential level. It is not a philosophical or ideological concept. It is a practical one. It is where you want to look. You are physically uncomfortable and agitated until you rest your gaze on some natural process…waves crashing on the rocks. Trees. Dirt.
Creative Journey is about the in-person, the physical, the face-to-face, hands on the body in nature. I can write a blog to share my ideas with a broader audience but it is really about the real, the here and now, the body living on Earth in the living biome.
Pre and Post Integration sessions can happen remotely. Creative Journey assignments can be sent on Signal. Creative exercises can be made and submitted from anywhere. Messages can be sent back and forth. But the crux of the practice is live, in the body, in person, tactile. It is not scalable. It is intimate, real, organic.
