About Me
I’m Tavasi Silvas, PhD (they/them), biochemist, artist, mushroom cultivator, and educator. I work at the intersection of mushroom cultivation, food and medicine sovereignty, and community-rooted healing. Through Tavasi Labs, I support organizations and land-based projects in bringing fungi into their ecosystems—with reverence, strategy, and imagination. My work blends hands-on cultivation, intuitive science, and culturally grounded education to help teams grow mushrooms in ways that nourish land, people, and collective purpose.
How I Can Support You
- Guidance for integrating mushroom cultivation into new or existing land-based projects
- Cultivation system design: community-scale, tech-integrated, and reverence-based
- Collaboration on fungi-centered retreats, land-based programs, or public workshops
Who I Work With
- Farmers, herbalists, and land stewards integrating mushroom cultivation
- Organizations and retreat centers building fungi-centered education or healing programs
- Wellness practitioners seeking guidance on mushroom-based offerings
- Educators, scientists, and facilitators creating culturally-rooted fungi curriculum or services
