On this trip, we will be exploring the Parnassus-Roumeli region of Greece.

Our main focus during our day stay is the submerging in the ecology, the Fungi, the natural splendor and all it provides.  What you'll notice, is that we’re mushroom nerds wanting to show you their wonder and we don’t shy away from spending lots of time looking for and at mushrooms, lichens, plants and other kin we might come across. While we take in the forests and fields, we will be building knowledge of the local ecosystems, history and food systems. Food is a huge part of our culture in Greece and our shared experience, what does that mean? 

Food is tradition, food is movement, food is engagement, food is ritual.  

Our acts of learning from the landscape are in direct connection to the folk tradition and the kitchen, whether it’s in our tea pot or meal pot. This is how we often, quite literally, take in the information we are trying to experience, through our senses and specifically our taste buds. Yummy!  The traditional way of life here in Greece, like many traditional cultures still able to practice their life ways is in direct connection to the land, the seasons and preparations for future meals, medicine and growing cycles.
