About this Event

Come join us at Open Book Coffee for Decomposing TERF: Turn Your Old H***y P****r into Oyster Mushrooms

This session blends grief processing, queer ecology, and mushroom magic in a space rooted in inclusion, community care, and joyful resistance.

Facilitated by Freddie Mae Allen (he/they) and Lucius Harmony (they/them), this is a space for 2SLGBTQIA+ community members/allies, lifelong learners, and anyone ready to decompose harmful narratives and grow something beautiful.


Please bring your own unwanted books - preferably written by authors who you once loved who you have learned have caused harm - to use as a basis to cultivate oyester mushrooms.

Limited number of books will be provide to those who do not have their own. All other supplies will be provided.


Admission will be PWYC (pay-what-you-can) - with a suggested sliding scale price between $10-$20.

No one will be turned away due to lack of funds. If you would like to attend the workshop at no cost or a lesser price - please contact Freddie at [email protected]
