Decomposition Day - UK - 9 October 2026

from £45.00

What if the most radical thing you did this year was let something rot?

Sporesight invites you to a full day nature immersion to go slow, let something go, and practice the ancient art of decomposition. Together we will learn from fungi - nature's hero decomposers - how to unlock new forms of value by breaking things down.

Limited to 30 spots! In-person only.

In this tactile, embodied, hands-in-mycelium day, we’ll apply fungal logic to the infrastructures of our imagination; asking, what happens we break down these parts? What remains, and what rots? This is inner work, with a practice that you can take into your world and work, and we will show you how.

WHY DECOMPOSITION?

Decomposition allows us to reframe how we deal with ‘collapse’.

Old paradigms aren’t just failing; they’re actively in the way. As the media pushes narratives of metacrisis and collapse paralysis, we choose stories of possibility. Embracing decay, we intentionally rot what isn’t serving good futures - freeing up nutrients for what comes next.

​In nature, death isn't the end of life. Its part of a regenerative cycle. Inspired by decay, we will learn from fungi, nature’s most badass decomposers, how to practice decomposition for new forms of value.

What to expect

You’ll spend the day in nature to take a beat and re-orient. ​More hands than head work. Embody a decomposer mushroom in meditation. Let something go in a rot ritual. Make a mess with mycelium materials. Meet mycelium in the woods. Decompose something extractive. Connect with others doing this work.

You’ll ease away with renewed possibility, the capacity to see and decompose what feels extractive in yourself (and your work / the world). You’ll gain a new conceptual lens, a mindset shift, and a practice to apply in your work. ​And, a mycelial gift to compost in your home! 🍄‍🟫

  • Yes! This is for anyone curious about regenerative futures but feeling the weight of the world; exploring nature-based leadership and don’t know where to start; frustrated with an extractive status quo and want a practice to decompose it.

    You don't need to know about fungi or regenerative thinking. You just need to be open to a decomposition intervention!
