Let's Get Stoned:
11•22, 6:30PM • $44
Join us for an immersive, nature-centered experience at our unique workshop, Let’s Get Stoned: Crystals, Herbs, and Ancestor Vibes, where we will harness the potent energy of the Waning Gibbous Moon to support detoxification and release.
This workshop is designed for those looking to deepen their connection with nature while exploring the magical world of crystals and herbs.
Your Stoner pass will include 1 crystal kit and 1 herb kit and guidance from your instructors.
As the moon gracefully recedes, it invites us to embrace the art of letting go and cleansing, preparing our minds and bodies for renewal.
In this transformative session, we will delve into the specific herbal allies that promote detoxification, clear stagnant energy, and gently support the body’s natural processes.
Light refreshments and fare will be served.
