About this Event

Cannabliss: A Sensory Journey for Couples


Are you looking to have a unique, deeply connective experience with your partner?

Have you been interested in exploring the freedom and in-body experiences that come with using psychedelics or other substances?


Welcome to Cannabliss - a new intensive combining cannabis and light kink sensation play for those looking to deepen their connections with themselves and their partners. This workshop will include transformative experiences incorporating meditation, guided imagery, ritual creation, the use of various somatic experiences, and optional cannabis enhancement, under the supervision of trained lifestyle monitors and professionals.


What to Expect:


- A safely facilitated experience that allows you and your partner to explore freely

- An all-inclusive event, where we provide everything that you need

- A warm and friendly environment, one that is open and judgment free

- Safety and support while being able to connect deeply with your partner

- Guidance for introspection, communication, with the enhancement of cannabis and light sensation play


Both somatic activities and psychedelic medicines have been shown to create greater embodied presence, without judgment or negative self-talk. This allows one to show up more fully as themselves, with increased confidence and authenticity. Along with this “mindful embodiment,” kink and psychedelics serve to enhance physical and emotional connections with others. While most traditional psychedelics are not legally available yet, cannabis can be used similarly as a legal and safe alternative.


Our practice and process, from the initial individual screenings, to the intensive 2-day workshops, and follow-up integration sessions is formulated to help facilitate introspection, connection, embodiment, and acceptance. It is an incredible journey for you and a partner, and we will be there with you every step of the way!

Space is limited to a handful of couples in order to create an atmosphere of honest communication, healing, growth and intimacy. Reserve your seats now!


Participants who have, or close family members who have had, a history of psychosis or mania may not be eligible for this workshop. Please reach out to us if you have questions before signing up. You and your partner are required to do all of the preparatory work, attend both full days and be available for the integration sessions afterwards. Please review your schedules before signing up. Refunds will not be available for those who don’t make appropriate arrangements in advance.


Please reach out to us at [email protected] for more information or questions. We look forward to meeting you and helping you further your personal and relationship growth journeys!


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSs:


1.How can cannabis and/or somatic sensation help with increasing closeness?

Studies indicate that cannabis can be beneficial in helping partners enhance relationship intimacy (article) and allow one to be more fully present and aware of their bodies, without judgment. In therapeutic, supported settings, cannabis can break one out of unhelpful patterns of thinking to allow for thoughts, feelings, and sensations to be more openly processed and shared. This facilitates introspection, healing, and personal growth. More in depth information on the helpful nature of cannabis can be found here. Similarly, research looking at kink activities have also shown beneficial effects, including improved bonding among couples, enhanced connection with oneself and others, and decreased stress, via non-ordinary states of consciousness.
