What is microdosing?

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.

 
Microdosing and Medicinal Plants Workshop

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 Breathwork Journey

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. Breathwork facilities deep transformation, cleanses the body, is powerfully insightful, unblocks stuck energy and rebalances your being on all levels, creating positive shifts that you will carry with you well beyond the retreat.
