Join us for a FREE workshop with Effective Communication Coach Gabe DeRita!

At our Authentic Relating for Mycelial Community Building workshop, we aim to create a transformative learning experience that empowers participants with the tools and insights needed to cultivate deep and meaningful connections, enhance their communication skills, and become confident and empathetic leaders within their communities.

We believe that Authentic Relating is at the heart of building strong relationships, fostering thriving communities, and driving positive change in the world. It’s the foundation of our November 10-day leadership program, the Human Mycelium Retreat.
 
Inspired by fungi’s role as the great connectors of nature, we want to empower human leaders to be the Human Mycelium of connection in their communities. Join us to embrace your inner leader and gain tangible skills for growing connections.
 
This is not just a lecture! You will have a chance to practice Authentic Relating skills in playful and engaging games designed to give you real-world experience. We learn best by doing, and we can have fun along the way!
