Mycelial Awareness
Response Network
The Mycelial Awareness Response Network (MARN) is a collective, eco-spiritual gathering for turbulent times. As the world breaks open — through ecological crisis, political upheaval, collective grief, and civilizational threshold moments — MARN gathers to feel it honestly, release what needs releasing, grieve what needs grieving, and attune our hearts and nervous systems to a higher/deeper collective coherence on behalf of the living world.
Not bypassing. Not reacting. Responding — from the ground of our own sacred nature, through the mycelial web of our shared humanity, toward what wants to emerge.
We meet spontaneously on Zoom as world events continue to unfold that threaten, demean, and separate ourselves and others. All others. We will gather at least once per month, sometimes more for one hour of eco-spiritual attunement, grief tending, coherence-building and inhabiting a deeper state of consciousness.
Register for the Zoom link and to be added to the list to receive invitations to gather.
Why the Mycelial Awareness Response Network?
Humans are part of a planetary ecosystem. Mycelia are the living network beneath the forest floor that connects all trees, passes nutrients and information across vast distances, responds to distress in one part of the system by mobilizing resources from another. It's the original internet. The original mutual aid network.
MARN doesn't just gather for inspiration, but to activate a response from a deeper source that creates change in ways that traditional algorithms don't map. It passes coherence through the network when one part of the system is in distress.
Mycelium don't distinguish between important trees and unimportant ones. It feeds what is in distress. It responds to the whole system. It operates beneath the visible, in the dark, in the root layer where most systems never look.
The acronym MARN calls to mind the word Marne, derived from the Gaulish word "Matrona" which mean mother goddess. The name is associated with the Marne River in France. In World War I, its banks became a barrier against the German invasion of London, saving Paris. The word embodies ancient origins as a sacred waterway and a historical marker of resilience and endurance.
