18 - 25 August 2023: BlissDance Retreat
Bliss is not simply a state of happiness; rather it is the capacity to remain fully embodied and consciously present.
“For every human illness, somewhere in the world there exists a plant which is the cure. I believe that there is a healing potential locked inside plants which is integral with their evolution, just as it is part of human evolution to learn to tap this wonderful gift of Nature.” – Rudolf Steiner

Microdosing involves taking sub-perceptual doses of certain plant medicines in order to gently, and incrementally, heal and release old programs and patterns, as well as enhance levels of creativity, energy, focus, and improve relational skills.
What microdosers usually notice are profoundly positive changes to how they think and feel, which is what has driven the explosion of interest in working with psychedelics to support health and wellness.
This workshop will be an exploration of plant medicines, teacher plants, adaptogenic herbs and medicinal mushrooms. Caroline will guide you through the different types of plant medicines to microdose, the various microdosing protocols, as well as the benefits. Walk away equipped with the tools and knowledge you need to feel empowered to take control of your own healing through the support and magic of plants.
Conscious Circular Breathing is a powerful breathing pattern that has the capacity to induce an altered state of consciousness, activating the bodies’ inner healing intelligence, expanding awareness and relieving physical tension and stress in the body, as well as clearing past trauma and releasing unprocessed emotions.
