Conscious Cannabis Circles are group psychedelic experiences using guided meditation, mindful breathing practices, somatic awareness, along with finely curated evocative journey music, and the power of psychedelic cannabis. Learn how to skillfully work with a legally available psychedelic for healing, transformation, and personal growth. Explore xplore healing your relationship with this plant and its somatic psychedelic properties which, when held with intention, are compared to Psilocybin, LSD, MDMA and Ayahuasca. Guidance and support will be provided throughout the entire journey as well as time for post-journey integration.
Participants have described this work as “deeply heart-opening” and “one of the most psychedelic experiences I’ve had”. Conscious Cannabis is now being applied as a form of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy for treating anxiety, depression and healing from trauma and PTSD.
This is a hybrid event. There is limited spots for in-person in Downtown Santa Cruz CA, larger capacity for online participants.
This practice may help you with:
letting go of anxiety and stress
relaxing into deeper connection with your body
working through grief and depression
somatic release of past experiences
unlocking new levels of creativity and problem solving
reconnecting with your purpose in life
exploring and expanding consciousness

“I felt so “held” in this experience of relaxation and flow with continual energy release through twitching that occurred the entire time I was journeying. I found myself feeling so much gratitude to be able to be in such a safe space with guidance, very caring facilitators, well defined parameters and amazing journeying music." — Clarice
Preparation
We encourage you to prepare for this experience through mindful awareness, setting an intention, journaling and fasting from cannabis use for a brief period of time.
Bring your own cannabis, yoga/journey mat, pillows, eye covering, journal and any photos or sacred objects that feel important to you.
Psychedelic Safety
Working with Cannabis is very safe for most people. Yet like any psychedelic experience, these can be very emotionally intense and it is always best to err on the side of safety. We invite you to review our safety guidelines for this event and let us know if you have any questions. You will be asked to sign a waiver and participation agreement before joining our circles.
