FAQ's
Do I need any experience or prerequisites to attend this workshop?
Not really. This is designed in a way that any level can attend and we truly think this can be beneficial to pretty much anyone
Wait, you guys mentioned psychedelics. What do you mean by that?
We are “just” talking about Cannabis. The container we create for the journey combined with the cannabis blends we prepare together and the breathwork we are able to deliver a psychedelic experience. However it is more gentle, safer than other psychedelics, shorter duration and most importantly the participants retain agency. While some may think Cannabis isn’t psychedelic, it is and it fully delivers on the outcomes we are aiming for.
How about online? Will I have a good experience? Can I do the journey from my home?
We have carefully crafted our workshop so it delivers a great experience both in-person and from the comfort of your home. We have experienced online facilitators to support the participants. We have been facilitating online journeys for a long time and are confident you will enjoy it.
I’ve never used cannabis. Is that an issue?
Not at all. Just go at your pace. Technically the use of cannabis isn’t mandatory.
How do I know I am a good fit? I am taking medication and I am concerned.
We do a health screen for all participants. We also have a doctor on staff that can help with any concerns. There are only very few contraindications.
How do I procure the Cannabis?
Kinesthesia does not sell, provide, supply, manufacture, cultivate, transport or distribute any cannabis or cannabis products. We will send you instructions on recommended strains to buy if you want to use Cannabis. Again it is not mendatory.
What is the cost of the workshop?
$1,485 in person attendance. $300 early-birds registration (limited seats)
$890 virtual/online attendance. $200 early-birds registration (limited seats)
