IN-PERSON PROGRAM
Fungi are the keepers of the veil between the realms of the living and the dead. Learn from mycologist Willoughby Arévalo how all life depends on the death and decay brought about by these dwellers of the underworld. Join us for this special walk at the time when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest and most permeable, when souls and spores alike may drift across. You’re welcome to find a fallen plant offering during the walk to offer as a gift to our fungal kin.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM LEADER
With hands of an artist, eyes of an ecologist, and the heart of a deeply connected human, DIY Mushroom Cultivation author Willoughby Arévalo brings the practical and the joyful together through the science and wonder of mycology. His work is an invitation to not only learn from fungi, but to grow one’s true earthy relationships.

The land on which we gather is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm), Squamish (Skwxwú7mesh), and Tsleil-Waututh (səlilwətaɬ) Peoples. Their stewardship and respect for this land has carried forward for thousands of years long before settlers named it “Stanley Park”.
