Hey, welcome!

I'm Simka (they/them), and I'm so happy you're here! I'm a foraging instructor, nature guide, mycology enthusiast, and artist working with organic materials. I have the wonderful privilege of working with other artists, chefs, and curious humans exploring the world of wild food.

Originally hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, I've been living in Berlin since 2017. Though my background is in cognitive science, I have been teaching foraging here since 2021. I'm a qualified PilzCoach of the DGfM. I'm also a certified Nature-Connected Coach.

 

The Wild Path is the name I give to my interdisciplinary practice of teaching and guiding, weaving together the tools and approaches which have been meaningful to me, so that we can walk together on this wild path.
