Why Spores?
Spores are resistant to extreme conditions, defy traditional reproduction norms, and can travel through many forms of matter to grow into new organisms. They create, connect, and feed ecosystems. Spores favor resilience over speed, remain responsive, decentralized, and function nonlinearly. Spores don’t extract; spores cooperate and support other elements of nature, often restoring balance.

Testimonials

“Caryn has a truly special gift as a facilitator. She makes everyone feel seen, heard, and genuinely welcome. I recently attended one of her workshops and left feeling lighter, happier, and more connected to people I might never have crossed paths with otherwise.”
