Peyton

Peyton has a deep love for mushrooms, both for their medicinal and culinary gifts. Her zeal for local, fresh, and wholesome cooking has led her to work with many species of mushrooms in the pursuit of cooking food that is nutritious for our bodies and spirit, blending vegan cuisine and herbalism. Beyond the kitchen, Peyton’s political-social work is focused on regenerative food systems, research that led her into mycoforestry, foraging, and working with fungi for closed-loop systems.

Her appreciation for fungi in their culinary and ecological roles carries over and naturally flows into her reverence for fungi as medicine and teachers. As a lover of Life and a student of the Earth, she turns to plants and fungi as guides for remembering the truth of our nature. She has learned the magic of mushrooms after many years of working with them, serving them, and facilitating others’ experiences.

Along with her explorations in Earth Medicines, Peyton has been practising Hatha Yoga for many years. In combining meditation into her daily religious practices, she has found psilocybin mushrooms to be extremely helpful for deeping meditative experiences, better understanding of the Self, and attuning with the Divine.
