October 12th through December 8th, 2023
Welcome to Mycelium.
We are not alone.
In these complicated times, we have opened “Mycelium,” a unique space for holistic therapy inside an art gallery.
We invite you to various treatments by professional therapists who kindly volunteered to provide you with a supportive and comforting place: breath therapy, touch therapy, and talk therapy. You’ll be able to listen to guided meditations, or to simply experience a moment of rest in a quiet and calm space.
Starting Oct 15, the gallery will be every weekday (Sunday through Thursday) between 10:00 and 19:00
Neve Schechter, 42 Chelouche St., Tel Aviv
To register for any of the programmed events, please fill in your contact information to let us know you’ll be coming.
*We will prioritize patients from the South of Israel
*There is a secure space (MAMAD) adjacent to the galley
Beyond the gallery space, we are currently operating a digital support program (through Zoom), which includes group meditation and breath therapy.

Welcome to Mycelium.
Welcome to the infinity that lies between things, to all the connections, compositions, relations, and joints. To all crossroads, webs of possibilities, questions and decisions that the mycelium’s network of hyphae holds, and through which it communicates.
Speaking the mycelium. Translating its non-human language with our transient body. Identifying the subtle tectonic shifts through which it drives us towards each other, with each other, into each other.
Learning from the mycelium.
To be educated at the feet of the non-human, to learn from the life lessons it holds in its very being: lessons on the need for oxygen, on processes of digestion and expansion, interrelation, death, and life, all erupting from it.
Being the mycelium.
Living it, with it, through and by it. Experiencing the matter of reality through its nonexistent eyes, through its many senses. Understanding mycelium is in everything: in the glue that bonds our dreams, among the delicate bridges crossing the doors of consciousness, in the lubricant that carries the stars in the empty sky. It is found in our unmediated encounter with the world, allowing us to touch something outside the limits of our imagination, of our humaneness.
In her new artwork, Sharon Glazberg explores the relationship between art and its viewers, audiences, and communities. She works with mycelia, the bodies of fungi, an underground nervous system composed of white threads (hyphae) that transfer food and information to the different parts of the system. Glazberg creates a space of art and medicine where human and fungus meet and develop relationships of patient and therapist, feeder and nutriment.
In collaboration with the mycelium, the gallery space was transformed into a habitat for edible and medicinal mushrooms, cared for by the artist and by a selected group of experts from various disciplines, such as therapy, creativity, philosophy, art, and music, as well as specialists dealing with the relationship between body and spirit. They will hold conceptual and practical sessions revolving around therapy, healing, art, and ritual.
There are many ways to participate in Mycelium. To visit the gallery and take part in the exhibition, please register for one of the programmed events on the gallery website.
