Colin and Catherine met at Fungi Academy where they lived and worked together, but their study of mycology and psychedelics long predates this. Catherine is a bioartist who works with the intelligence of nature to create speculative products for human use, including mushroom paper, kombucha leather, and plastic from algae. As a trained yogi she has extensive experience with altered states of consciousness through breathwork, chanting, and movement. This also includes experience with mind-altering substances like ayahuasca, LSD, huachuma, and mushrooms. This exploration has led her to study psychedelic topics with the Beckley Institute and Chacruna, and she hopes to use this expertise to help facilitate people through their own experiences with these technologies.
Colin first got introduced to mushrooms through permaculture and the ecological benefit fungi provide. This curiosity lead him to live and work at the Fungi Academy, where he dove head-first into the psychedelic aspects of fungi. Colin Community Manager of the property and lead open houses and community-sharing circles. Colin has helped facilitate several mushroom cultivation courses and group psychedelic ceremonies and feels called to continue this work with psychedelic mushrooms. He is passionate about educating people about all aspects of fungi to inspire hope for the future.
