Medicine of the East
A 3-Month Microdosing Immersion this Spring with Beana Bern & the Mushroom Teachers
MARCH | APRIL | MAY 2026
“We began as mineral. We emerged into plant life, and into the animal state, and then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we slightly recall being green again.” Rumi
Microdosing Earth Medicine: A Seasonal Practice in Whole Living is a profoundly impactful and transformative microdosing protocol that provides individuals looking for healing a well worn path to wander.
This three month curriculum empowers anybody looking to microdose psilocybin a well-seasoned guide, reliable and consistently impactful framework, and conscious, closed community to do so effectively, respectfully, and authentically.
Join Beana Bern, Chief Imagination Farmer and Founder of Rootstock Retreat, for this intensive immersion into the Medicine of the East, the Medicine of the Earth, and the Medicine of Yourself and come navigate Spring intentionally and plant some seeds you'll be thrilled to harvest in the Fall.
Signing up for the waitlist will ensure you get priority access to registration on Feb 3, 2026. Registration opens to the public on Feb 4, 2026. Space is limited and these immersions historically fill full.
Spring can be a very electric time of year. The snow melts, the land softens, the seeds sink deep, the sap rises, and the urgency to CREATE! GROW! SING! infuses the world.
The expansion that follows the contraction, Spring is the inhale to Winter’s exhale.
It draws us out, back into the gardens, the gatherings, and our communities. Spring asks something of us. It births us into a new season of growth and becoming and it’s a powerful time to be discerning, intentional, and rooted.
Navigating the Medicine of the East is exciting, energizing, and playful work and, though it’s not without challenge or pressure, this time of year is a ripe time for sowing the seeds that we most want to see grow.

"Think of the brain as a hill covered in snow, and thoughts as sleds gliding down that hill. As one sled after another goes down the hill a small number of main trails will appear in the snow. And every time a new sled goes down, it will be drawn into preexisting trails, almost like a magnet. In time it becomes more and more difficult to glide down the hill on any other path or in a different direction. Think of psychedelics as temporarily flattening the snow. The deeply worn trails disappear, and suddenly the sled can go in other directions, exploring new landscapes and, literally, creating new pathways."
-Mendel Kaelen, Dutch postdoc in the Imperial lab
How Does It Work?
The online course lays the foundation...
A beautiful online course and corresponding workbook provide a linear path from the arrival of your earth medicine and basic preparation through three full months of proven-effective microdosing protocols! Module by module, you are guided into your practice with Daily, Weekly, and Monthly invitations, journal prompts, somatic practices, and more!
The weekly Group Coaching calls are the secret sauce...
We'll start with a Kick-Off call to introduce everybody and then, week by week, we'll gather to hear how the practice is unfolding. These calls are full of reflection, guidance, inspiration, validation, and just the right amount of challenge to keep you accountable to your intention for the season. The communal aspect of this journey is truly profound and deepens the experience for all...even those of you who are 'zoom-resistant!'
The Group Chat and Bulletin Board allow for sharing and weaving in between calls...
This is also the 'Bat Phone' to Beana and a way to access support anytime throughout the journey. Exchanging soundtracks and podcasts, sharing photos and reflections outside of our call times allows for effervescent connection and community weaving.
The elemental day retreat at Rootstock is a perfect culmination and the stuff dreams are made of!
To come out of the Zoom and into the earth temples and bathhouse at Rootstock after a long season of healing together is amazing! These spacious days are filled with nourishment, togetherness, and celebration! Folks coming from afar can tack on an extra night before, during, and after to maximize time on the hill!
Alumni of the immersions are gifted a free month in The Spore, an ethereal watering hole and online community to stay connected and inspired.
Seasonal community rituals, monthly conversations, office hours, integration circles and a special space for the microdosing community can keep you connected with other people on the path!
Why Earth Medicine?
The 21st Century on Planet Earth is an intense place to be. The single serving, plastic-wrapped, convenience culture of ‘pop this pill and feel better’ has revealed its limitations and both doctors and their patients are coming into consciousness about the limitations of pharmaceuticals and our Western medical industrial complex. People all over the world are looking for relief and new paradigms for healing and the organic intelligence of psilocybin is among many sacred Earth Medicines that has revealed it’s potential for helping humanity.
Studies are happening all over the world revealing over and over again the efficacy of psilocybin to treat depression, anxiety, addiction, OCD, eating disorders, and more. Though still illegal on a Federal level, legalization and decriminalization efforts for psilocybin are happening rapidly and successfully around the country, with 9 cities decriminalized, one state legalized, and many more bills in legislatures across the US, including in the brave little state of Vermont.
The organic, adaptogenic, and mysterious nature of mushroom medicine is radically safe, non-addictive, has little or no side effects, and is incredibly impactful if worked with in a good way.
What’s a ‘good way’ to work with Earth Medicine?
While many are making leaps and bounds with the support of entheogens, the unfortunate reality is that some practitioners and protocols are still working with this medicine in a colonizing and extractive way. The promise of ‘effortless healing’ or ‘a miracle cure’ deny the truth of what the mushrooms require and deliver.
Working with Earth Medicine in a ‘good way’ means in a reciprocal, reverent, and honest way. It means giving as much to the medicine as you ask of it. It means learning how to live well off the medicine too.
Microdosing Earth Medicine: A Seasonal Practice in Whole Living is a curriculum that was born out of years of deep, sacred practice with the Mushroom Teachers and a deeply elemental life on this spinning jewel in outer space.
This practice calls us into awareness that this medicine is not here to make us better; instead, it opens a portal that, if we walk through and keep walking, can help bring us back into balance and wholeness.
This one-of-a-kind container is both protocol and practice. Inside you’ll learn how to:
-
Calibrate dosage & frequency and develop your own intuitive microdosing practice
-
Differentiate intention from expectations and learn to discern intuition from external conditioning
-
Work energetically with the mushrooms, elements, and the medicine of Spring
-
Integrate experiences you have on the medicine into your life off the medicine
-
Embody a spirit of reciprocity and reverance for earth medicine and the Mushroom Teachers
-
Hold space for community on the medicine path
“We are now fully engaged in the Sixth Major Extinction (“6 X”) on planet Earth. Our biosphere is quickly changing, eroding the life support systems that have allowed humans to ascend. Unless we put into action policies and technologies that can cause a course correction in the very near future, species diversity will continue to plummet, with humans not only being the primary cause, but one of the victims. What can we do? Fungi, particularly mushrooms, offer some powerful, practical solutions, which can be put into practice now.”
- Paul Stamets
Opening ourselves up to the lessons that the mushrooms and the Earth have to teach us requires that we widen the aperture of our awareness to the world around and within us. This three month curriculum is a wonderful way to relearn, remember, reclaim, and revive your deep knowing and capacity to live well.
Investment in the Spring Meander:
The transmissions, transformation, and connections you will forge inside this container are truly priceless. You have the opportunity to change your relationship to spring, to your longing, and to your life. The direct access to Beana alone would cost a lot if you did this work one-on-one and, in addition to Beana’s support, you’ll gain a Sangha (community) of new friends and companions to walk your healing path with you.
Microdosing Earth Medicine Spring Cohort runs during April, May, and June, and meets weekly every Tuesday in Zoom. The course is limited to 11 people.
The cost is $2,555 per person paid in full or in 3x installments of $888
