On Saturday, August 3rd, we gathered at the Barefoot and Free Yoga Festival for an evening of profound exploration and healing. This ceremony was a deep dive into the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern practices, offering a unique opportunity for participants to explore consciousness in a controlled and intentional manner.
Setting Intentions and Embracing the Sacred
The evening began with a thorough discussion of the space and journey ahead. We set clear intentions, aligning our focus on the premium sacrament we were about to partake in.
This was not merely a ritual but a sacred act rooted in both historical and contemporary practices.
Our 9 puff ceremony was inspired by the Pythagorean theorem, a mathematical and philosophical concept from ancient Greece. This approach was introduced to me during an Amanita Muscaria ceremony with Mama De La Myco, who graciously permitted me to adapt this concept to our cannabis ritual. By incorporating the Pythagorean theorem, we aimed to honor the harmonious balance of numbers and their spiritual significance, infusing our practice with a sense of sacred geometry.
Why Cannabis?
Cannabis holds a unique place in the pantheon of psychedelics. Unlike many other substances used for consciousness exploration, cannabis offers a level of agency and control that allows participants to navigate their experiences with heightened awareness. This quality can be attributed to its effects on the endocannabinoid system, which regulates mood, perception, and cognitive function.
From a Western perspective, cannabis is recognized for its ability to induce a state of relaxation and introspection, making it an ideal tool for personal exploration and healing. Eastern philosophies, such as those found in Taoism and Buddhism, emphasize the importance of balance and mindfulness, which aligns with the way cannabis can facilitate a controlled journey into self-awareness and insight.
In esoteric traditions, cannabis has been used for centuries as a sacrament to enhance spiritual experiences and connect with higher realms of consciousness.
By integrating these diverse perspectives, our ceremony provided a holistic approach that honored both the ancient and modern understandings of this sacred plant.
A Sensory Journey
As the evening progressed, participants donned blindfolds and entered a meditative state. I guided the group through a journey into the void of creation, using a combination of my voice, crystal and Tibetan sound bowls, and an array of music and beats. This multi-sensory approach helped deepen the meditation, allowing participants to immerse themselves fully in their inner landscapes.
Throughout the ceremony, I moved around the room, smudging each participant with cannabis smoke and tracing Reiki symbols over their bodies. This practice was designed to provide distant healing without physical touch, maintaining a respectful distance while still offering energetic support. My personal experiences with unwanted touch have made me particularly cautious, as I understand how it can impact the delicate balance of a psychedelic journey.
A Space of Transformation and Breakthrough
As we emerged from meditation, the room was abuzz with testimonials of breakthroughs and realizations. Participants shared their experiences of personal growth, actualization, and therapeutic insights. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with messages and texts flowing in days after the event, recounting transformative experiences and profound shifts in perspective.
Upcoming Monthly Ceremonies
The success of this event has inspired me to offer a series of monthly psychedelic cannabis ceremonies, beginning in October 2024. These journeys will take place at a loft in Detroit, created and owned by Lisa J Hilary, with cannabis provided by Sahir Al-Salam from High Prophecy. Nourishment will be available post-journey to support integration and reflection.
