Gondwana-Land Entheogenic Picnic Gathering: Wild Edible /Medicinal Plants +more

Let's get together in the Rainforest to learn more about local plants, have a communal picnic , Bush-walks and talks about all things Entheogenic..

. . Bushtucker Simon will take us on a couple of bush walks around the area, eg: Ada-Tree ; Seven-Acre-Rock.. and will talk about food and medicinal uses of plants that grow wild in the bush..

. . After the bush walk we will create a communal feast including the use of foods and spices we found in the forest.

There will be also time slots available for anyone else to do some small group talks /discussions - just put yourself on the board at an available time slot.

We are looking forward to meet some more of the local luminaries and wise-men (wise-women) who can share some good knowledge..

Consider it - a small Entheogenic Summit.
The event is optional-overnight Friday with more bush walks and talks on Saturday.
Those who stay overnight can take part in our Fractal-Visions Fire-Smoke Ceremony (this does not involve ingesting or smoking any illegal substance) but simply offers some more insight into natural local flora...

Dish bringers come free.. the rest of us $15 dination.
