This session is a gateway to personal 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.

We’ll cover the basics of breathwork, microdosing and explore how the combination may provide synergistic support in one’s health and wellness journey.

Q: What type of breathwork can I expect?

You will be guided through circular rhythmical breathing technique, these are faster and deeper breaths. You will be in control of the depth of the experience and it’s intensity, utilizing your breath as gentle or fast to manage intenisty levels. We’ll cover the techniques and practice them at the orientation section of the workshop.

Though it is technically possible for people to have an anxious or intense reaction, we usually do not see this happen with this particular setting and protocol. Your safety is our first priority, and you’ll be in control of the depth and intensity of the experience.

If you are not sure if these apply to you, please hold off from including breathwork in your journey, you can always journey alomng with the music and microdosing.

This workshop is a bridging of two worlds. The power, intention and presence of breathwork skillfully paired with a deeply somatic and visionary Psychedelic Cannabis blend are held in a safe and supportive container, leading to one of the most healing transpersonal journeys you can gift yourself.

This can be a great practice for those looking for a breakthrough in their healing process or opening up to a new perspective. We are honored to teach and share this way with you. We will begin with a group meditation and intention sharing. Following this we’ll provide safety flight instructions on cannabis use and mindful journeywork practices. When the circle begins, participants imbibe cannabis holding their intention and are then guided through a relaxation, leading into the breathwork practice and followed by journey time accompanied by evocative music. The whole journey lasts about 2.5 hours and is followed by community sharing and integration time.

Cannabis Blend & Recommendations
If you are new to cannabis, start low go slow. You can always add more along the way.

When doing your blend, If possible, try with 3 different strains or have 2 contrasting vape pens (2 strains, or sativa, indica, hybrid). During this Covid period some might prefer vaping over smoking to reduce stress in the lungs. We don't recommend edibles unless you are very familiar with your medicine as they are not easy to dose. Their duration is longer than vaping or smoking and the onset varies between 45 mins and 4 hrs depending on the person. Know that only 1 cannabis strain or vape pen can take you very deep. 

Personally, we love the mix of Grand Daddy Purple or Purple Punch (indica, purple notes, higher Linalool terpene %) and Blue Dreams (Sativa, pinene and limonene terpenes), we find it's a heart opening blend.
