The all-access pass to 40+ Pre-Recorded 1-hour conversations with over 50 leading experts covering topics ranging from psychedelics and mental health to chefs and foragers is still available for purchase HERE. Each conversation is a deep dive; tell-all look at the cutting edge of all things fungi.

Research has shown that mushrooms and mycelium can provide sustainable solutions to some of the world’s greatest problems such as treating cancer, Alzheimer’s, PTSD, depression and mental health issues to saving the bees, cleaning the atmosphere, and shifting consciousness. Mushrooms have been making an impact across fashion, design, culinary, health and wellness industries. Fashion designers are working with eco-friendly mushroom leather to nonalcoholic beer brewed with turkey tail or lion’s mane that help minimize stress. There are a dozen or so mushroom–based coffees that aim to eradicate brain fog without caffeine jitters, and chocolate bars with ingredients like reishi that increase energy and immunity.

 Over the past 30 years, Schwartzberg has pioneered and perfected the art of time-lapse, nature and aerial cinematography, in his quest to reveal the stunning beauty of the earth, its natural riches, and the systems that keep the world in perfect equilibrium. Louie’s three TED talks on visual healing have gone viral and he’s been invited to speak on the topic on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday
