About this event
Discover a rest deeper than sleep. Join us for Cannabis-Enhanced Meditation in a private temple in Chicago—an afternoon of conscious cannabis, deep rest, guided awareness, and spacious exploration of your inner landscape. The practice may include a body scan, breathwork, guided imagery, awareness practices, and periods of spacious stillness. Experience needed: You must have previous experience using cannabis. No meditation or yoga experience is required. Most meditations can be done lying down. Everyone is welcome. This is a queer-friendly, neuro-spicy friendly & immigrant-friendly space. You must be 21+ years old. You'll receive a gift from Jota Living to dial in your experience. Smoking is allowed on the back deck. Cannabis as a Sacrament Cannabis has been used as a sacred plant for thousands of years. Across traditions and cultures, people have turned toward it as a way of changing their relationship to attention, sensation, consciousness, and the present moment. The intention here is not to escape yourself. It is the opposite. To become more available to yourself. Used consciously, cannabis can soften the edges of habitual thinking and bring more attention into the body. Sensation can become more vivid. The breath can become easier to notice. The constant commentary of the mind may become quieter. That shift can create a different doorway into Yoga Nidra. A doorway into listening. Into feeling. Into the strange and beautiful territory that opens when you stop asking the mind to lead. We approach cannabis not as something to consume casually, but as a plant ally within a deliberate contemplative practice.
