Over dit evenement
Are you ready to feel an exquisite feeling of connection with others while remaining safe, grounded & calm within your body?
On the 14th November we will be exploring the juicy combination of Kanna (microdose), Pranayama, Authentic Relating & Yin Yoga to open our hearts to deeper, more wholesome connections with ourselves and other lovely humans.
This is more than a workshop. This is a ceremonial space where we will embrace parts of ourselves we may not be aware of in our day to day lives. The invitation is to be curious and invite ALL of yourself to be welcomed.
Additionally, our intention is to share practical tools that can be integrated into your daily life. All of the tools we will be sharing have helped Laurie and Chance in their journeys in innumerable ways. We’re excited to combine them all and share the magic with you friends 🌟
🌱Kanna is a plant medicine often known as “natural ecstasy”. Microdosing Kanna offers a light yet buzzy sense of euphoria, increased energy without nervousness & delicious creative flow. The Kanna dose we offer includes Lions Mane, Rhodiola, Theobromine & Memethylated B vitamins, which will subtly enhance the effects.
🧘🏼Pranayama are yogic breathing techniques that regulate breath control and connect your body and mind. The word "prana" means breath or life energy, while "ayama" means control or expansion. By practicing these techniques, you can reduce the negative effects of stress, increase your energy levels, and experience deeper mental and emotional peace.
❤️🔥Authentic Relating is a communication modality that enables you to heartfully, playfully and courageously connect, using the tools of radical honesty and active listening. The practice invites you to drop deeper into presence, embodied awareness and permission to express whatever is alive within you and the ‘we-space’ between you and other(s).
🕉️ Yin Yoga focuses on deeply relaxing the nervous system, by bringing fresh life force (prana) to your connective tissue and vital organs. Through deep stretches, long holds, and mindful breathing, your body is given permission to fully release any tension that has accumulated over time.

FAQs (Frequently asked questions):
🔸 What is a Kanna microdose?
A microdose is a sub-perceptual dose of a substance - in this case, legal Kanna - that enhances awareness, presence, and connection without inducing hallucinations. Most people report feeling more open, embodied, and attuned. You will have the option to ingest 50mg, 100mg or 150mg, depending on how strongly you want to feel the effects. This variety of Kanna (Sceletium Tortuosum) also includes Lions Mane, Rhodiola, Theobromine & Memethylated B vitamins, which will subtly enhance the effects.
🔸 Is this legal and safe?
Yes. Kanna is legal in The Netherlands, and the dosage used is well within safe microdosing guidelines. The space is facilitated by an experienced guide, with safety protocols and integration support in place.
🔸 Do I need prior experience with Kanna or Authentic Relating?
Not at all. The only requirement is a willingness to be present, curious, and respectful.
🔸 What if I feel anxious or overwhelmed?
Beginning the workshop with Pranayama is likely to calm and centre you in preparation for the connection exercises. There is no pressure to participate in any exercise and you may step out at any point if needed. There will also be a support team on hand should you wish to co-regulate.
🔸 How many people will be there?
The maximum capacity for the workshop is 25 participants.
🔸 Will there be integration support?
Yes. After the session, we’ll share tea and conversation in a softly lit space. There will be no rush to go home. The facilitator and support team will also be available during this time. You’ll also receive suggestions for integration and reflection post-event.
🔸 Do you have a safety disclaimer?
Participation is voluntary and at your own risk. Kanna (even in low doses) can have strong psychological and emotional effects, and this experience may not be suitable for everyone.
