CHICAGO IANDS 20th Anniversary!
May 12 @ 2:00 pm

CHICAGO IANDS is 20 years old this May! Anniversary meeting: 2-5 pm. The requested donation is still the same: $20. The first meeting was in May, 1998, in the Minister’s office of Unity Church on the North Shore. Diane Willis had a Near-Death Experience in Spring of 1995 and she was told that she was to help people lose their fear of death, but she wasn’t told how she would do that. After her experience, she was connected with her guides on the other side and they began instructing her on what to do to start Chicago IANDS. The 20th Anniversary will bring great food, a party atmosphere, some bookstore specials, and a special Near-Death speaker, Robin Landsong, who was abducted at age 8 and taken to Rhodesia. Frank Auditorium in Evanston Hospital, 2650 Ridge Ave. (& Central), Evanston, IL. Free covered parking. For more info: 847-251-5758 or http://www.chicagoiands.org/

Fantastic Fungi Premiere @ Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Oct 18 all-day

GENE SISKEL FILM CENTER PREMIERES MUSHROOM DOCUMENTARY FANTASTIC FUNGI. Tickets to each screening–unless stated otherwise—are From Friday, October 18 through Thursday, October 24. $12/general admission, $7/students, $6/Film Center members. Director Louie Schwartzberg appears for Q&A opening weekend. This revealing and marvelously mind-boggling documentary explores the hidden kingdom of mushrooms, the unique fruit of mycelium, an all-pervasive fungal network that not only lives beneath our feet but subversively dominates the earth. The Fifties rockabilly hit “There Was a Fungus Among Us” unwittingly proclaimed the fact: mycelium is everywhere, whether seen or unseen. Experts including groundbreaking scientist/mycologist Paul Stamets and authors Michael Pollan, Eugenia Bone, and Andrew Weil reveal the ways in which mushrooms harbor a vast and barely explored potential for healing, renewing the environment, providing sustenance, and altering consciousness, but only if mankind is savvy enough to tap their enormous power. Awe-inspiring time-lapse macro cinematography by director Schwartzberg (WINGS OF LIFE) brings mushrooms and their underworld networks to astonishing vibrant life for a don’t-miss experience. FANTASTIC FUNGI, 2018, Louie Schwartzberg, USA, 81 min., narrated by Brie Larson, DCP digital. Director Louie Schwartzberg is scheduled to appear for audience discussion on Friday (8 pm only; tentative) and Saturday. Location: Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, located at 164 N. State St., Chicago, IL 60601. Website: http://www.siskelfilmcenter.org/fantastic-fungi

The Fifties rockabilly hit “There Was a Fungus Among Us” unwittingly proclaimed the fact: mycelium is everywhere, whether seen or unseen. Experts including groundbreaking scientist/mycologist Paul Stamets and authors Michael Pollan, Eugenia Bone, and Andrew Weil reveal the ways in which mushrooms harbor a vast and barely explored potential for healing, renewing the environment, providing sustenance, and altering consciousness, but only if mankind is savvy enough to tap their enormous power. Awe-inspiring time-lapse macro cinematography by director Schwartzberg (WINGS OF LIFE) brings mushrooms and their underworld networks to astonishing vibrant life for a don’t-miss experience. FANTASTIC FUNGI, 2018, Louie Schwartzberg, USA, 81 min., narrated by Brie Larson, DCP digital. Director Louie Schwartzberg is scheduled to appear for audience discussion on Friday (8 pm only; tentative) and Saturday. Location: Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, located at 164 N. State St., Chicago, IL 60601. Website: http://www.siskelfilmcenter.org/fantastic-fungi
