Fungi Friends and Forest Food Foragers, let’s connect!
Hundreds of millions of years ago mushrooms started influencing our landscapes. An integral part of the cycles of nature, mushrooms still play vital roles in our environment. Come and learn about the fantastic world of fungi. Meet and learn about the importance of Nova Scotia’s beautiful mushrooms with this Enchanted Mushroom Forest at FireLoch Retreat.
FireLoch is home to some of the best mushroom habitats around. Explore their beautiful green spaces and learn about some of the top choice edible mushrooms in Atlantic Canada. We will gather together to learn about safe foraging practices and respectful harvesting. After we have collected some local mushrooms, we will prepare a sampling of wild foods that we will cook together on the outdoor cobb oven – a meal for everyone! Lots of time for Q&A so bring your questions and ideas to share.
Families are welcome (and encouraged!) to join in but our pace is slow and content is likely best for youth 10+.

Antigonish Kirtan
FireLoch is hosting space for the Antigonish Kirtan community to gather – all are welcome to join this call-and-response form of chanting and singing for joy and praise.
As a meditative practice, Kirtan is also “a practice for connecting to our hearts and connecting to the moment through sound.”
We are collecting names of local participants, and will co-create a schedule of events based on everyone’s availability so please sign up to let us know you are interested and we will be in touch with our proposed first date.
