Welcome to the largest wild mushroom happening in North America, the 46th Annual Telluride Mushroom Festival! This program of the Telluride Institute, a 501c3 non-profit, offers a plethora of events ranging from foray and mushroom ID sessions, to hands-on demonstrations and lectures—all led by regionally, nationally, and internationally-known experts, (and we cannot forget the wide variety of social and cultural events offered, along with the famous Mushroom Parade!) there is plenty for everyone, every day.

On this website, you can filter your search by events, venues, presenters, etc. Each year the Mushroom Festival features many wonderful presentations on “all things fungi.” Presentations on similar topics are grouped together at the same venue so that attendees interested will be able to spend more time learning and interacting, and less time walking between venues. See who else is interested in each event and interact with our extended Mushroom Family.

See you soon!

The Role of Psilocybin in Rewilding the Mind

Thursday August 13, 2026 3:30pm - 4:30pm MDT

Ah Haa School - Transformation Studio @ 155 W Pacific Ave, Telluride, CO 81435

This workshop explores psilocybin as a catalyst for returning the human mind to a more natural, unconditioned state—one less dominated by rigid patterns of thought and more attuned to intuition, emotion, and interconnectedness. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and indigenous perspectives, it examines how psilocybin can temporarily dissolve habitual frameworks—such as ego fixation, cultural conditioning, and linear thinking—allowing deeper layers of perception to emerge.

“Rewilding the mind” here refers not to regression, but to restoration: a process of reclaiming cognitive flexibility, sensory openness, and a sense of belonging within the broader web of life. The piece considers how psilocybin may interrupt default neural pathways (like the default mode network), foster novel connections, and promote states of awe, humility, and ecological awareness.

All presentation in Transformation Studio are first come first serve. A line will be formed outside of Ah Haa for this presentation. There will be limited seats so please plan for a different event if this is full.
