The Meaning Response and Optimize.Life are beyond excited to bring this transformative event to San Diego on 02/22 with Daniel McQueen from Medicinal Mindfulness!

DATE/TIME: 02/22 , 3pm-8pm

LOCATION: Bliss Yoga, Encinitas

21+ only!

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Did you know that when cannabis is used intentionally and skillfully, it mimics other psychedelic medicines in therapeutic settings? Medicinal Mindfulness clients commonly report experiences that are indistinguishable from MDMA, Psilocybin, Ayahuasca and even DMT.

Conscious Cannabis Circles, combine ancient ceremonial, alchemical and mindfulness techniques with modern transpersonal theory and evocative music sets to create a doorway to experiencing deeply transformational psychedelic journeys using cannabis sativa.

The evening begins with community building experientials, an introduction to the experience, and a brief tutorial on mindful journeywork practices. When the circle begins, participants imbibe their own cannabis with intention and are then gently guided through a imaginal relaxation meditation before allowing the curated music sets to evoke an experience of profound depth and personal meaning. Journeys are two and a half to three hours in length with a break in the middle. The experience is followed by community sharing, personal reflecting, process art, snacks, and other intentional integration processes.

Join a community of new and experienced journeyers as we embark on an inner/transpersonal odyssey of incredible adventure. We honor all aspects of inner exploration, creating an experience that allows for individual intentions such as spiritual connection and awakening, deep soul and psychological healing, creativity and play, and creative problem solving, skill mastery and general curiosity.

The event will be orchestrated/facilitated by the inventor of the modality, Daniel McQueen, and assisted by certified hypnotherapist, Carol Benton, as well as other trained sitters. More about them below!
