Mushrooms Transform Your Reality with Dolly Hodgesmith [episode 15]
Video coming soon!
In this week’s episode, we chat with Dolly Hodgesmith, from Medicine For a New World - where we discuss all things fungi and foraging. We speak to the power of using and connecting with energetic medicines, and you can find some of the essences that we chat about (including Amanita muscaria essence!), on Dolly’s beautiful blog and online shop Polly Compost.
Dolly Hodgesmith is a mother, energetic medicine maker, fungi enthusiast, wildcrafter, workshop host, avid composter, and gardener. In this episode, Dolly speaks to the pivotal moments in her life that were guided by the mushrooms and led her to relocate from the suburbs to the woods of California with her Microbiologist husband, and two children.
