This workshop dives into the fascinating world of mycelium to explore how creatives and designers can build resilient, regenerative systems—networks grounded in decentralisation, care, and mutual aid. What can mycelium teach us about collaboration, resource-sharing and resistance? How can those insights shape the way we organise, design, and imagine futures—together?
The book Let’s Become Fungal! Mycelium Teachings and the Arts by Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodríguez explores these questions and proposes a methodology and mindset that can be activated within communities, networks, and organisations. From microbial meetings to speculative mindmaps, and from cyclical calendars to systems of mutual exchange—this workshop invites you to apply the teachings of the fungal world to your own life and creative practice.
Using the brand-new Let’s Become Fungal! Oracle Cards, we’ll explore how to turn ecological principles into practical tools—design strategies, new ways of organising, and creative ways of working. A moment of collective imagination, guided by fungal thinking.
Learn to:
- Design a non-monetary system of mutually beneficial exchange
- Align your calendar to agricultural, seasonal, and other cyclical rhythms
- Apply fungal wisdom in your organisation, community, or network
