The monthly meeting is more than a book group.

Even if you haven't read the book, please join your fellow paleo people as we explore the world of food, agriculture, sustainability, and paleo living.

This month's “book” is a topic: anything cool and interesting on mushrooms such as cultivation, foraging, medicinal, culinary, psycho-therapeutic, you name it.  October marks the return of the ‘shrooms in the PacNW.  Choose your own book or other information source and be prepared to teach your buddies a little something.

All are welcome who are interested in an ancestral-type diet and lifestyle mods.

We meet in the study room (when available).

Free street parking on Sundays.
