Friends and Family Minister, Kentucky

My name is Chris Jurgensmeyer and I am extremely proud and grateful to be a part of this community!

I came to the mushroom about the same time the pandemic hit. I've always been curious about psilocybin mushrooms, so I started doing a lot of reading and research in late 2019. Right away, I found out how beneficial these little gifts of nature can be for some. I had my first experience after much personal investigation, and immediately had new insights and a shift in some of my long-held ideas and perspectives.

I began regularly macro and microdosing, working with the mushroom as a practice to cultivate and discover (or rather, uncover) my own personal truth. I feel a resonance with the mushroom as a way to "dance with the divine". Mushrooms are a conduit to delve deeper into the mystery of existence, and a symbol of nature’s ineffable wisdom. I believe mushrooms can have a profound effect on all aspects of our wellbeing. As a Friends and Family Minister, my vision is to foster a nurturing environment, where the communion with the mushroom becomes an avenue of self-discovery and collective growth. I am here to share, learn, and contribute towards creating a holistic, informed, and compassionate community.
