Join Afro-Village and Pharm to Body at the Village, for a six-part workshop series exploring the healing, nourishing, and transformative power of mushrooms. Each session blends knowledge-building with hands-on practice as we highlight a different mushroom and technique—from making teas and tinctures to cooking, preserving, and crafting your own mushroom medicine.

Over six sessions, you’ll learn to make concentrated mushroom powders, teas, tinctures, and shelf-stable mushrooms, and explore the deep ancestral relationship between mushrooms, food, and wellness in African and diasporic traditions. Workshops will take place the first two Wednesdays of each month: November, December, and January. Each Class stands on it’s own. Join one or come to all! We are excited to grow with you!

 Session One — November 8th, 2025

Benefits of Mushrooms & Making Shelf-Stable Mushrooms
Featured Mushrooms: Portobello, Oyster, Chicken of the Woods

Discover the nutritional and medicinal benefits of common gourmet mushrooms and learn how to preserve them for long-term use. This hands-on class covers drying and canning techniques to create your own shelf-stable mushrooms to take home.
