Cultivate food and medicine as a way of life, and build greater freedom for yourself and your community

This is a limited application-based cohort for those ready to take this work seriously. We will follow up with a short call if we feel you are a good fit.

The PAth AWaits you

We guide those drawn to work with plants and fungi, but unsure where to begin, into a grounded practice and lifestyle of freedom through crafting nourishing food and medicine.

Seeking the Remedy

For many years, I struggled with my own health on every level. I sought support in the places I was told to look, yet much of what I was experiencing—physically, mentally, and emotionally—was not easily met by conventional approaches. Along the way, I discovered something profoundly important: I had the capacity to support my own healing.  That realization changed everything.

 

Through years of working closely with plant medicines, herbal remedies, and mushrooms, I began rebuilding my life from the ground up. Not perfectly—but intentionally. What emerged was a deeper sense of agency, resilience, and connection.

 

In 2019, I founded Evolved Mushrooms to offer the kind of support I once needed and to share the wisdom I had gathered along the way. Seven years later, Living Medicine represents the continuation of that journey—a space to walk this path together and to support others in discovering, cultivating, and sharing their own medicine.

 

My name is Jonathan Fredette, and I'm here to share this journey with you.

The Mycologist

Explore Mushrooms

We learn to grow mushrooms for food and medicine—working from spore to harvest while exploring fungal life cycles and ecosystems. This practice brings mushrooms into our homes and gardens as sources of nourishment and resilience.

In Relationship

Rooted in Nature

Through the lens of plants and fungi, we learn from the living world—cultivating balance, coherence, and relationship with nature. This connection grounds our work, informing how we carry these relationships into the lab and into our lives.

The Alchemist

Craft Medicine

We transform plants and fungi into well-crafted medicinal extracts, revealing the depth of support they offer. Through the lens of extraction, we develop a more direct relationship with the medicine—informing the senses and providing a powerful way to bring them into the world.
