My Story
Jeffree Morel is an author and educator specializing in speculative fiction, personal essays, and poetry blending the mystical and ecological. Based in Eugene, Oregon, he also hosts immersive educational workshops on ethical foraging, forest bathing, yoga, and meditation as Foraging for More.
​
Born and raised in southern California, he grew up absorbing stories through books, movies, and television, all the while dreaming up characters and ideas to tell his own. He studied screenwriting at Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film & Media Arts.
After relocating to the Pacific Northwest, he launched his career as a freelance writer and discovered his love of mushroom hunting in the evergreen forests. He obtained a permaculture design certificate (PDC) at Lost Valley Education Center & Ecovillage in 2022. There, he began offering foraging & forest bathing tours on-demand. In 2025, he completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training on Ometepe Island in Nicaragua.
As a writer, Jeffree loves injecting dark humor and playing in many sandboxes at once, leap-frogging between poetry, fiction, essays, and screenplays with little warning to anyone, least of all himself. His work blends genres like literary fiction, magical realism and sci-fi, but generally contains common threads about some of his pet concerns like spirituality, psychedelics, and humanity’s relationship with the rest of the natural world.
​
In 2024, he published his first poetry chapbook Ego Killers through the print-on-demand service Lulu. His short stories and poetry have been published by Tethered by Letters, F(r)iction, Works Progress, Weber: The Contemporary West, Rabble Review, South 85, and the South Seattle Emerald. He regularly posts essays on Medium.com, as well as poetry and updates on the Foraging for More Substack.
