Upcoming Courses
FREE Lunch-and-Learn For Natural Medicine Professionals
Join us for a virtual lunch-and-learn with Memoru Center for Visionary Healing Arts co-founder, Sara Lewis and Lost Garden Labs & Therapeutics co-founder, Josh Walker! This session will focus on demystifying the relationship between natural medicine cultivators, healing centers, and facilitators, exploring how this essential partnership extends beyond procurement into shared responsibility and stewardship.
Josh and Sara will review practical considerations such as strain, dosing, and testing, as well as how facilitators can build familiarity and confidence with natural medicine to better serve their clients. We'll also examine how cultivators and facilitators can and should collaborate within our regulated ecosystem, each bringing a distinct perspective and responsibility toward a shared goal of safe, ethical, and intentional psychedelic-assisted care.
Come ready to ask questions, connect with peers, and leave with greater confidence in the work you do!

Josh Walker
With 25 years of experience working with psilocybin mushrooms, Josh founded Lost Garden Labs and Therapeutics, a Colorado state-licensed natural medicine production facility. Alongside cultivating natural medicine under the regulated model, he is passionate about deepening the connection between people and the plant medicines that can support their journeys. His personal areas of focus include psilocybin mushrooms, mescaline-containing cacti, and DMT-containing plants.
Josh's path began at 19, working as a caregiver at a state mental facility in Kentucky, where early experiences ignited his interest in bodywork, Eastern philosophies, and holistic health. He graduated from the Natural Health Institute in Bowling Green, KY in 2006. In 2009, he established Whispering Creek Mushrooms near Gallatin, Tennessee, leading foraging groups and supplying gourmet mushrooms to Nashville's fine dining scene. Since 2017, Josh has consulted on mushroom projects nationwide — from organic food production to university psilocybin studies.
