Writing The Body In Memoir: How To Work With What Our Bodies Know
Foraging in Oakland: Herb and Mushroom Talk & Tea Tasting, Vol 2
This event is over, it happened on
May 15, 2026 at Local Economy in Oakland, CA
What grows around us? Join Cindy (@cindydoedee) for a short presentation on common, local herbs & mushrooms we find growing wild in the Bay Area. From edible to medicinal to poisonous and deadly, our Bay Area abundance is hard to match. We’ll have a short discussion about the ethics and policies around foraging. Cindy will bring in a collection of foraged goodies to share. Enjoy a sampling of foraged fresh and dried herbs during and after the talk!
Make sure to bring your own mug or cup to reduce waste of single-use cups.
*Tickets for this event are $22 or pay-what-you-can/NOTAFLOF

It looks and feels like a bright neighborhood storefront set up for people to gather rather than a traditional venue. Inside, most things are organized around a long central table where talks, workshops, book clubs and game sessions all happen in close quarters. more...
