Fantastic Fungi Screening with special guest Paul Stamets

Project New Day invites you to a special screening of Fantastic Fungi followed by a Q&A with Paul Stamets at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz, CA.


Are you ready to explore the magic that lives beneath our feet? Mycelium is the very foundation of life on this planet - not only for our species but for so many species on this Earth that we love, and we can work with it to restore our planet. We're asking you to join this revolution in the ecology of consciousness. Together with you and the mycelium, we can bring regeneration, and inspiration and hope to so many.



Decriminalize Nature
This event will celebrate the amazing power of the fungus among us to heal, shift consciousness, and save the planet. We are also growing awareness for the Santa Cruz Decriminalize Nature initiative. The Santa Cruz City Council will vote on an initiative to decriminalize entheogenic plants and fungi on Tuesday, January 14. The purpose of Decriminalize Nature is to decriminalize entheogenic plants, restore our root connection to nature, and improve human health and well-being.
