A Mushroomlife and Wild Child Medicines Collaborative:
Natural Abundance Edutainment Retreat!
Anytime in this life that we feel lack, we are probably separate from nature and our true reality...abundance.
All human suffering comes by forgetting the true nature of the self and it is our life's passion and goal to remind, lead, and teach those who have forgotten, the way back home to wholeness, plentitude, and peace.
What to do? Return to nature, rewilding ourselves...
About the experience
rewilding to return to abundance
When we turn back to nature and our place in it we can truly feel our being begin to relax and tune back in to the immediate surroundings as they were designed for.
Instantly lending a parasympathetic reaction the entire body and mind benefits from.
Healing from the inside out already. Leading to a more full and easy breath, imbibing the original plant medicine...Oxygen.
Returning a depth and ease to your breath, the most important connection we have with nature
Replacing a way of thinking, that we were ever separate or truly lacking
Reclaiming our personal power to sustenance and wellness
Remembering the bounty our ancestors knew well
Gaining hands on knowledge from long time professionals of their craft, person to person, as its been for eons
We have 8 spots available to join Michael & Zachary and our professional chef and video staff this May sixth through the tenth (5/6-5/10/2022) for a truly one of a kind experience and luxury stay in a large secluded five bedroom cabin located in the Great Smoky Mountain Lodge in Wears Valley, right next to Pigeon Forge.

This retreat is the perfect fit for any able bodied individual with that curious mind and eye looking to feed your natural wonders, to get away from the drone of highways and busy life, and to bask in serene and healthy natural environment while learning some fun, handy, and inspiring new hobbies with great company.
Navigation of possibly rough terrain can often be a part of the experience but is always optional for anyone who chooses to attend.
Haven’t hiked or had a campfire in a while? When was the last time you ate something wild? Feeling the need for a little extended social time after the long days of lock downs? We have you covered. Come out and kick back.
Your facilitators truly are in their highest passion here in offering this experience.
With over 35 years of combined knowledge and skills in the realm of foraging, permaculture lifestyle and settings, as well as regenerative practices with agroforestry, farming and producing your own medicines, they are eager to share with you the many facets of a life spent closer to the land. Both guides are also professionals in these related fields currently, so it’s what they live and breathe on a daily basis.
Our number one concern is to appropriately and adequately open your eyes to the infinite abundance around us when we turn back to nature.
The two main facilitators of the event will be Michael Weese of Mushroomlife and Zachary Heidemann of Wild Child Medicines.
Michael Weese
Inspiring Change
Michael Weese, entrepreneur and founder of MushroomLife, is an autodidact, forager, and all around fungal enthusiast in the Mid-Atlantic Region. His life’s work involves being a teacher, guide, wild food purveyor, alchemist, herbalist, consultant, cultivator, photographer, permaculturist, ecologist, environmental steward, and friend to nearly all he meets. A student of the mushrooms and mycology for 26 years now his knowledge base is vast in this subject and many others concerning natural and science based topics.
Michael’s influence spans the globe, as he inspires folks to both forage in the wild, and cultivate their own mushrooms as well as to tune into the many applications mycology has to offer. Through sharing his knowledge and experience online, in the classroom, and in the field, Michael inspires others to explore their world with wonder and a sense of curiosity that can never be quenched. Creator of some of the most popular fungal cultures ever cloned and circulated, he has a special talent for capturing clean champion genetics from wild-harvested mushroom specimens as well as extensive knowledge of breeding and producing mushrooms of many types spanning several divisions of the 5th kingdom on a small or large scale offering his consultation as a side stream.
Michael is administrator to several very large online forums reaching hundreds of thousands of people over the years with the intentions of spreading fungal awareness and enthusiasm, education, and decreasing apathy toward nature through the constant demonstration of fungal beauty, applications and diversity. It is because of his artistic eye that Michael’s photography has been published in “The Journal of Wild Mushrooming,” and used by his mentors and peers in their teachings across the planet.
The admiration of the alchemical model and philosophy has long inspired Michael to keep true to the search of the true distilled gems of meaning that are universal for us all. His passion for transmutation is obvious in his dedication to every craft he has his hands in. The intersection of alchemy and mushroom enthusiasm was his main inspiration behind the current line of products offered through Mushroomlife.
Always striving to take the arts, interests, and passions of his chosen field to the next level, Michael is confident a healthy relationship with the hyphae and nature is the way forward for humankind and is almost certain anyone would be happier with more mushrooms in their life.
