Allow me to introduce you to The Fungal Heart
 

When your heart is the foundation,  joy, life, and imagination fill the soil with rich nutrients. When we suffer trauma, grief, bitterness, and sorrow build.

​

Sprouting from the canals are fungi. They grow in the heart doing an important job. In fact, they take the toxins of the grief, bitterness, and sorrow and process them to create themselves! 

 

In healthy forests a wide variety of fungi sprout. After rainfalls often you will see them. Their mycelial veins distribute nutrients all across the soil. When mushrooms arrive, it is a sign that the soil is receiving the care it needs.

 

There are specific kinds of fungi that can break down toxins like pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides, giving restoration back to the microbial life in the soil.

​

Rewilding "sick" soil using fungi can generate healthy biodiversity, the makings of a healthy ecosystem. 

 

Accordingly, fungi show up in the liminal space of an ecosystem, the space between death and new life. It is in this space that healing happens. 

​

At Wild Heart Therapies, The Fungal Heart symbolize a crucial lesson for grief. When our hearts endure death or loss, Fungi remind us that there is the capacity for new life. That with proper care, we can hold and grow through the losses we suffer and create ourselves anew, growing with the gifts of our grief.

​

There is a wild ecosystem around you

and within you. Loving our wild keeps us connected to the truth and hope that although things come to an end, we have the capacity to create again and again.
