In forests all over the world, something remarkable is happening beneath the surface, all the time. A vast, intelligent network of fungi connects trees, plants and even entire ecosystems. These invisible threads act as nature’s communication grid, allowing organisms to share nutrients, warn of danger and support one another in times of stress. Scientists have called it the Wood Wide Web, but we see the magic underfoot as a reminder of something deeper. As humans, we were never meant to go it alone. Just like the mycelial network, humans thrive when we’re connected. Yet in today’s fast-paced, always-online world, many of us feel more isolated than ever. The constant noise can distract us from what truly matters – real relationships, deep conversations and the grounding support of community. That’s why, when things get tough, we look to fungi for inspiration. Mycelium doesn’t rush. It doesn’t compete. Instead, it connects and cooperates. We believe emotional well-being is just as important as mental clarity or physical vitality. Feeling grounded, supported and connected isn’t a luxury. It’s part of a life well-lived. And just like a forest, our inner ecosystem needs care, balance and connection to thrive. Building community doesn’t have to mean big gatherings or endless commitments. It can be small and meaningful: checking in on a friend, starting a book club, sharing a homemade meal or brewing up some mushroom-infused matcha and inviting a neighbor to join you. Creating daily rituals can also help foster a deeper connection – with yourself and with others. A few drops of Mindful Elixir before meditation. A daily dose of Gratitude Elixir as part of a journaling practice. These moments become reminders that you’re not alone. Just like mycelium, we all have something to give, whether it’s a kind word or helping hand. Connection grows when we reach out and listen. True wellness includes the ability to show up for others as well as yourself. That’s why we want to help you engage more fully with the world around you. Whether it’s our Mind Capsules for focus or Chill Elixir to support calm, our formulations are created to help you reconnect with what really matters.* That’s the real power of fungi. They don’t just support ecosystems, they model a way of life rooted in collaboration, care and resilience. Let’s take a cue from the mycelial network. Let’s slow down, stay present and keep showing up for one another, to create something truly fantastic.

There’s nothing like travel – or a staycation – especially in summer. Whether you're road-tripping down back roads, flying across time zones or rediscovering your hometown, stepping out of your daily routine is good for the mind, body and soul. But travel can also bring disrupted sleep, not-so-healthy food, packed schedules and constant motion. It can take a toll on your energy, focus and mood.  We’re big believers in staying connected to daily practices that nourish you, even when you’re away from home. After all, aren’t the best trips the ones where you feel just as good coming home as you did when you left? Here are a few simple ways to support your well-being on the move all summer long: 1. Start Your Day with Intention When your schedule’s packed or you’re in an unfamiliar environment, grounding rituals can remind you of what matters most. Begin each morning with a few deep breaths and a slow stretch. Take a moment to feel your feet on the floor. Sip something warm and nourishing, like Mighty Mushroom Matcha. Or bring along our Mind Capsules, a daily dose of Lion’s Mane that supports clarity and focus while you’re on the go.* 2. Stay Hydrated, Stay Balanced It sounds simple, but hydration is often overlooked while traveling. Dehydration can zap your energy and affect digestion, mood and sleep. Carry a reusable bottle, sip water throughout the day and skip the extra round of coffee and cocktails. Add a dropperful of Chill Elixir to your evening tea or a glass of sparkling water to support calm when you’re winding down from the day’s adventures.* 3. Pack with Presence Resist the urge to overpack. Instead, choose items that bring you comfort and ease. A journal, a favorite snack, your favorite mushroom elixir – anything that helps you stay centered. Small things can make unfamiliar places feel more like home. 4. Get Outside and Move Your Body No matter where you are, nature is usually nearby. Take a short walk between travel legs, sit under a tree at a rest stop or watch the sunset from a hotel balcony. Nature helps recalibrate your nervous system, especially after the hustle and bustle of transit. 5. Stick to Your Routines We tend to abandon our routines on vacation, but a few consistent habits can make a big difference. Even one daily ritual – taking your daily supplements, going for your usual run or unplugging a couple of hours before bed – can help you feel more balanced. 6. Practice Gratitude on the Go Long lines, delays and detours are all part of travel. But so are moments of awe and unexpected connection. Keep a short gratitude list on your phone or take a few minutes each night to reflect. This shift in perspective supports emotional well-being and can deepen your travel experience. Need suggestions? Browse this list of 26 ways to practice gratitude every day. Wherever this summer takes you, remember to take care of yourself. A vacation or trip should be about connection and experiencing new things, but try not to deplete your energy and vitality along the way! Remember: You deserve to rest. (Need help slowing down?
