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.
what I do
I offer an ever-changing set of interrelated services and workshops, all feeding in to my dream of a spreading network of folks who feel fully alive in a living world. Some of these offerings are:
​​
-
Foraging workshops for individuals and groups in and around Berlin
-
Team events for teams looking for something out of the box
-
Consultancy for artists and businesses on foraging, wild food, and sustainability
-
Retreats, workshops, and group courses on artistic practices, nature connection, and ways to be a human in this weird time
-
A monthly radio show on foraging in Berlin
​
Interested in collaborating on a project? I'd love to hear from you!
