This session is a gateway to personal exploration, growth and healing. Perfect for those seeking breakthroughs or a fresh perspective on life.
Microdosing pcilocybin is becoming a popular tool as people are searching for alternative solutions to deal with anxiety, mental health struggles, manage and decrease pain, enhance creativity and problem solving, and find more calm, flow and presence in their day-to-day lives. All of these states can also be supported by breathwork practices.
In this hybrid workshop you'll learn experientially how to use mushroom microdose-assisted breath-work, body focused, mindfulness practices to alleviate pain, heal your body & mind, and move beyond coping towards profound healing. Offered both online or in person in Santa Cruz Downtown.
This event is 21+ and BYO Microdose (Bring your Own).
