WELCOME
Welcome to Cannabis-Assisted Meditation! This offering has been created to provide participants with a method of deepening into and cultivating, personal insight and self-knowledge for the purpose of healing and growth.
The genesis? These extraordinary times we're living in... where heightened divisiveness exists alongside an ever expanding sense of awareness that separation is an illusion. Something new - perhaps even greater than we've ever known - is emerging for the benefit of all. Many beautiful modalities are assisting us, guiding our awareness to new ways of understanding life. One of the most potent comes through the ancient gift of plant medicines. When combined with mindfulness practices, significant shifts in our way of thinking and being becomes possible.
THE OFFERING
This offering combines a low - or psycholytic - dose of a Cannabis edible with a guided meditation practice. When taken together, participants are better able to access the realm of the personal unconscious where repressed or unconscious material is available for healing and greater self-understanding. Incredibly, the ego remains somewhat intact in this practice, making "some integration possible as a simultaneous experience" (Marcel van den Akker, PhD). This is the power of this work.
Psycholytic (def): Loosening the soul or mind

Integration is the most important part of any altered state experience. This is where the work really begins.

A variety of strategies will be utilized and introduced to participants as part of this meditation experience.
To further assist with integration, additional Transformational Coaching and Integration sessions with Denise can be arranged by participants as needed.
MEET THE FACILITATOR
"Be a curator of your life. Slowly cut things out until you’re left only with what you love, with what’s necessary, with what makes you happy." ~ Leo Babauta
My transpersonal roots extend to plant medicines which I've utilized as a tool for my own psychospirtual development since 2018. In 2022 I began training with the Center Mindfulness (CMM) in Colorado, where I learned to work with cannabis as a psychedelic. In 2023, I became a credentialed psychedelic sitter and guide for this medicine. I've subsequently attended Mystery School offerings through the CMM as well as the Centre for Applied Jungian Studies. Finally, I've completed training with Therapsil in Canada (psilocybin focus); and I've participated in medicine facilitated group work with Gathering Groups - an online program that fosters connection, resilience, and growth.

TESTIMONIALS
Denise is an incredible facilitator. I am so honoured to work with her and be supported by her. She holds space as good or better than anyone I have worked with and uses her intuition to guide her in the right direction. The intentionality that she shows up with shows her true desire to serve and help others and her ability to navigate challenges and spontaneous experiences is incredible. She is nurturing, kind, and inspiring. When I work with her I feel as though I can accomplish anything. She doesn’t do the work for you, she provides you with all the tools so you can be motivated to do it yourself. ~ CF
Denise brings a soft and calm presence when she’s holding space. She made me feel very comfortable and was really clear about the psychedelic cannabis process. I very much appreciate Denise’s evocation of the divine feminine, her ability to create safety and her dedication to the process. I would definitely work with Denise again! ~ AM
